第五部分、下列特殊用语使用频繁
一、WHEREAS 鉴于正式而重要的合同,尤其是英美法系的合同,多用它在前文中引出签约背景和目的,起连词作用: WHEREAS the Employer is desirous that manpower can be rendered available for the construction of High-Rise Residential Complex in Baghdad, Iraq; 鉴于雇主欲请劳动力建造伊拉克巴格达的高层住宅综合大楼; WHEREAS the Contractor is desirous to provide the manpower for the Works; 鉴于承包人想为此工程提供劳动力; 二、WITNESS 证明在合同前文中常用作首句的谓语动词: This Agreement, made by ... WITNESSES WHEREAS..., it is agreed as follows: 本协议由……签订证明:鉴于……特此达成协议如下: IN WITNESS WHEREOF 作为所协议事项的证据,该短语常用于合同的结尾条款: IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Contract in duplicate by their duly authorized representatives on the date first above written. 作为所协议事项的证据,双方授权代表于上面首次写明的日期正式签订本协议一式两份。 三、IN CONSIDERATION OF 以……为约因/报酬约因是英美法系的合同有效成立要件之一,没有则合同不能依法强制履行。但是,大陆法系的合同则无此规定。 Now Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the covenants herein, contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 兹以上述各点和契约所载条款为约因,订约双方协议如下: In consideration of the payment to be made by Party A to Party B, Party B hereby covenants with Party A to complete the building in conformity with the provisions of the Contract. 乙方特此立约向甲方保证按合同规定完成工程建设,以取得甲方所付的报酬。 四、NOW, THEREFORE 兹特此短语用于WHEREAS条款之后引出具体协议事项的常用开头语,并与其后hereby的结合。如果无HEREAS条款,则本短语可省略: NOW, THEREFORE, it’s hereby agreed and understood as follows; 兹特协议和谅解如下: NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS 兹特立约为据,本句话也是用于WHEREAS条款之后引出具体协议事项。 五、PRESENTS = the present writings 是主语,WITNESS是谓语: NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS that it is hereby agreed between the parties hereto as follows:
兹特立约为据,并由订约双方协议如下: 六、IN THE PRESENCE OF 见证人本短语只在有见证人时使用—在订约双方当事人签名的下方由见证人签名作证,一般是相关的律师(Attorney)或公证处(Notary Public): IN THE PRESENCE OF the parties hereto have hereunder set their respective hands and seals: 作为协议事项的证据,订约双方各自签名盖章如下: 第六部分、其他短语For and on behalf the first Party(甲方代表): The EMPLOYER (雇主)… Capacity (职位) … In the Presence of (见证人) … Capacity (职位)… Address (地址)… For and on behalf of the Second party(乙方代表): The CONTRACTOR (承包人) … Capacity (职位)… In the Presence of (见证人) … Capacity (职位)… Address (地址)….
