合同语篇的特点
选自：王辉《英文合同导读》
• 一、合同的标题（Title） • 英文合同和中文合同都一样，标题并不是一定要 有的，因为当事人间的法律关系是用合同内容的 各个条款来判断，标题基本上不会产生任何影响。 但为方便辨识的考虑，合同撰写人通常都会依照 合同性质，在合同首页的最上方给予一个适当的 标题。
• 三、正文(Hanbendum) • 正文(Hanbendum) 部分, 也称为 Body, 具体约定当 事人的权利义务。各式各样的正文条款是合同中最核心的 部份，也是篇幅最大的部份，与当事人的权利义务关系发 生最直接、最密切的牵连。 • 英文合同中的正文条款分为两类：「特殊条款」与 「一般条款」。所谓「特殊条款」指的是只有在某些特定 性质的合同中才会出现的条款，例如劳动合同中通常会约 定保密条款、竞业禁止条款，但是买卖同就不会有这些约 定。反过来说，买卖合同中一般要记载交易标的、交易条 件等等条款，在劳动合同中就不会出现。

For example, a business contract could be for the sale of goods or supply of services at a certain price.

合同的内容
• Some of the general matters that a business contract can cover include but are not limited to: • parties to the contract • date of the contract • definitions used in the contract • description of the goods and services that your business will provide or receive • payment amount and details of payment dates • interest on late payments • delivery dates of goods and performance dates for services • insurance provisions • guarantee provisions • termination dates of the contract • renewal terms • damages for breach of contract • termination conditions • special conditions.
• 二、合同的前言(Preamble) • 英文合同在标题之后，各式各样的条款出现之前， 通常会先有一段「前言」，也称序言、导言、总 则等。前言一般不会占去太多的篇幅，目的在于 很简略地介绍合同内容之人、事、时、地、物等 背景，让阅读合同的人在接触冗长复杂的正文前， 先有一个基础的认识与心理准备。详细来说，前 言通常又分作以下两个段落： • 第一部份文字叫做 "Parties" ，也就是合同的 「开场白」(Commencement)，内容在说明当事人 姓名或名称、国籍或注册地国及住所地或主营业 地、订约日期包括各自在合同中的简称等等。
• EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT (SALES) • EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into on ________ day of _________ (month), ____(year), by and between: _______ (hereinafter referred to as the Company"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of ____, with its registered office located at ________________, and ______ (hereinafter referred to as the "Employee"), an individual, with nationality of _________ (Passport No._____) residing at _____________.
When will a contract invalid?
• Even if the four essential elements are present a contract could in be invalid if: • It is an illegal contract. Examples of illegal contracts are an agreement to commit a crime and an agreement that breaches legislation, such as unconscionable conduct under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010. • The person or entity lacks the capacity to enter into the contract. Examples of persons lacking capacity are minors and bankrupts. • The contract involves misleading or deceptive conduct, mistake, duress, undue influence, unconscionable conduct or other categories that at law can cause the contract to be avoided.
• 本聘用协议于___年_月_日签订，双方当事人为： • 依_州法律组织设立的________公司 (以下简称本公司) ， 主营业地为_______，与___国籍的____ (护照号码: _____)(以下简称雇员), 居住于_________________。
• 第二部份叫做“Recitals”，是由数个以“Whereas”字样开 头的句子所组合而成（这些句子俗称为 "Whereas Clauses" 即鉴于条款）。 "Whereas"的本义是"When in fact"、considerHale Waihona Puke Baidung that"、或"that being the case" 的意思，所以"Whereas Clauses"就表示当事人乃是在基 于对这些事实（例如订约的目的、背景、原由等）的共同 认识，订立此合同。以下是一个补偿贸易合同 （Compensation Trade Contract）的 Whereas Clauses， 很简单明了地表达了双方合作的意愿。

Essential Elements
• • • • • • To be legally binding a contract must contain four essential elements. These four elements are: offer; acceptance; intention of legal consequences; and consideration. The four essential elements of a contract can be briefly explained as follows; a contract is formed when one party makes an offer and that offer is accepted by another party for an exchange of some benefit or something of value by the parties (this is the consideration element). The intention of the parties is that they are legally bound by the contract.
• 四、附录（Schedule） • 附录也称 Addendum, Annex 或 Exhibit，也有用 Attachment, List 或 Table 表示的。附录部分 作为对正文条款的补充，不是所有英文合同都有 的一项。以下就是一份聘用协议的附录，对该公 司聘用的经理职责作出补充说明：
• THE SCHEDULE ABOVE REFERRED TO • 1．To manage, maintain and promote the business of the Company • 2． To attend personally during the usual hours of business and to supervise and control the business and to be accessible to customers and employees of the Company. • 3． To keep the usual books of account. • 4． To pay daily all money received in the business into the Company''''s bank account. • 5． Generally to protect the interests of the Company.
