　　The legal contract is very strict, involves the rights and obligations, has the legal effect, therefore in the translation needs the precise wording, the word profession, the logic is strong. So what do legal contract translators need to pay attention to? The following Beijing translation company takes you to understand.

　　一、酌情使用公文語慣用副詞

　　1. Use of official adverbs as appropriate

　　法律合同屬于法律性公文，所以英譯時，有些詞語要用公文語詞語、特別是酌情使用英語慣用的一套公文語副詞，就會起到使譯文結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、邏輯嚴(yán)密、言簡意賅的作用。但是從一些合同的英文譯本中發(fā)現(xiàn)，這種公文語慣用副詞通常被普通詞語所代替，從而影響到譯文的質(zhì)量。

　　Legal contract is a legal document, so when translating into English, some words should use official document words, especially a set of official document adverbs used in English, which will make the translation structure rigorous, logical tight, concise and comprehensive. However, it is found from some English translations of contracts that the idiom of this official document is usually replaced by common words, which affects the quality of the translation.

　　實際上，這種公文語慣用副詞為數(shù)并不多，而已構(gòu)詞簡單易記。常用的這類副詞是由here、there、where等副詞分別加上after、by、in、of、on、to、under、upon、with等副詞，構(gòu)成一體化形式的公文語副詞。

　　As a matter of fact, there are not many adverbs in this official language, but they are easy to remember. The commonly used adverbs are the adverbs such as here,there,where and after,by,in,of,on,to,under,upon,with, which form an integrated form of adverbs in official documents.

　　二、謹(jǐn)慎選用極易混淆的詞語

　　2. Careful choice of confusing words

　　英譯法律合同時，常常由于選詞不當(dāng)而致詞不達(dá)意或者意思模棱兩可，有時甚至表達(dá)的是完全不同的含義。因此了解與掌握極易混淆的詞語的區(qū)別是極為重要的，是提高英譯質(zhì)量的關(guān)鍵因素之一。

　　When legal contracts are translated into English, words are often mischosen, resulting in ambiguous or ambiguous meaning, sometimes expressing completely different meanings. Therefore, it is very important to understand and master the differences between words and phrases that are easy to be confused, which is one of the key factors to improve the quality of English translation.

　　三、慎重處理合同的關(guān)鍵細(xì)目

　　3. Careful handling of key details of contracts

　　實踐證明，英譯合同中容易出現(xiàn)差錯的地方，一般來說，不是大的陳述性條款。而恰恰是一些關(guān)鍵的細(xì)目。比如：金錢、時間、數(shù)量等。為了避免出差錯，在英譯合同時，常常使用一些有限定作用的結(jié)構(gòu)來界定細(xì)目所指定的確切范圍。

　　Practice has proved that mistakes in English translation contracts are generally not large declarative clauses. These are just some of the key breakdowns. For example: money, time, quantity, etc. In order to avoid errors, some limited structures are often used to define the exact range specified in the detail.
