合同法律文件翻译练习(1)答案
第八周法律翻译内容及课后练习
breach of contract
• 违约是指国际商务合同的一方当事人或双 方当事人未能按双方签订的合同或有关法 律或公约规定的内容认真地、全面地、有 效地履行合同中约定的义务，从而有损于 一方或双方在订立该合同时预期的经济目 的。
• 第一，继续履行是一种补救方法，即在一方违约后，非违 约方寻求法律上救济的一种方法。
• 第二，是否请求继续履行是债权人享有的一项权利。继续 履行是有效实现当事人订约目的的补救方式，所以一般认 为它是我国合同法中首要的补救方法。
• 第三，继续履行可以与违约金、损害赔偿和定金责任并用， 但不能与解除合同的方式并用。
• 如果甲方实质性违反本合同，乙方或其权益承继人 有权终止本合同或要求得到损害赔偿。如果乙方实 质性违反本合同，甲方经发出书面通知，有权要求 乙方在收到书面通知后十五（15）天内改正其违约 行为。如果乙方在十五（15）天期限内未予改正， 甲方有权解除合同并要求得到违约赔偿。
• be entitled to可译为“有权”，“有资格”，但 在具体译文处理上，应根据上下文确定。
• (4)Remedial Measures (补救措施) • 补救措施是指在当事人发生违约的事实后，为防
止损失的发生或者扩大，而由违约方按照法律的 规定或者合同的约定采取的修理(repairing)、更换 (substituting)、重做(reworking)、退货(returning the goods)、减少价款(reducing the price)或者报 酬(remuneration)、补充数量(supplementing quantities)等措施，以使另一方弥补或者减少损失 的违约责任形式。补救措施主要是针对标的物质 量不符合合同约定而采取的一种违约责任形式， 这种违约行为的构成要件有二：一为债务人作出 了履行，只是履行不当，这种不当是指质量上不 符合规定；二为不当履行合同无正当理由。在采 取补救措施后，对方还有其他损失的，应当赔偿 损失。

合同翻译（一）英文合同翻译的用词特点：合同英语的用词极其考究，具有特定性。
要求选词专业化（professional）、正式（formal）、准确（accurate）。
具体体现在下列方面：1．使用情态动词：在合同中使用may，shall，must，may not (或shall not) 时要极其谨慎。
权利义务的约定部分构成了合同的主体，这几个词如选用不当，可能会引起纠纷。
may旨在约定当事人的权利（可以做什么），shall约定当事人的义务（应当做什么时候），must用于强制性义务（必须做什么），may not (或shall not)用于禁止性义务（不得做什么）。
may do不能说成can do，shall do不能说成should do 或ought to do，may not do，在美国一些法律文件里可以用shall not，但绝不能用can not do或must not。
例如，在约定解决争议的途径时，可以说：The parties hereto shall, first of all, settle any dispute arising from or in connection with the contract byfriendly negotiations.Should such negotiations fail, such dispute may be referred to the People’s Court having jurisdiction on such dispute for settlement in the absence of any arbitration clause in the disputed contract or in default of agreement reached after such dispute occurs.本句中的shall和may表达准确。
