1、英文合同解读一（八）英语合同的常用句型分类有限责任公司，股分有限公司，外商投 资公司发文日期2022-08-17作者王辉正文内容：一、引导条件从句的句型in the event that (短语为 in the event of), in case (短语为 in case of), providing (that), provided(that), on the conditions that, if(if and whenever), where, in so far as(insofar as), should, suppose/supposing (that)在英文合同中，以上这些词常

2、用来引导条件从句表示“如果、假如”等情形，基础英语中常用的“as long as”在英文合同中非常鲜见。例一： In the event that the Contract Price or any other terms of the Contract changes after the issuance of the Letter of Credit (or Letter of Guarantee) the Owner shall arrange for such Letter to be amended accordingly as soon as possible after any

3、such changes.如果在 信用证(或者保函)开出后，合同总价或者合同其他条款发生变化，业主应尽快安排对信用证(或者保 函)进行相应的修改。例二： In case part of or all know?how of the above?mentioned technical contents have been published by Party B or Third Parties A obtains evidence of such publication, then Party A shall no longer be responsible for keeping secre

4、t and confidential the part already published.如上述专有技术的一部份或者全部已由第三方发布，而甲方也掌握了已发布的证据，则甲方再 也不承担保密义务。例三：15% of the above contract price, e. g.

5、uments and providing that they are in conformity with the contract:甲方从乙方处收到以下技术资料和文件后30天内应信汇乙方上述合同总价的15%,也就是 21000美元，但该技术资料和文件应符合本合同要求。例四： Either party may at anytime replace the chairman, deputy chairman or director(s) it has appointed, provided that it gives written notice to the Joint Venture Com

6、pany and the other party.任何一方可随时更换自己委派的董事长、副董事长或者董事，但必须书面通知合资公司和合 资的另一方。需要注意的是，provided that通常语气上有转折的含义，不宜翻译为“假如，如果”；译为“但 是”，则译文过渡自然，符合汉语表达的规范。例五： Should the seller make delivery on time as stipulated in the Contract with the exception of Force Majeure specified in Clausel8 to this contract, the Buy

7、er shall agree to postpone the delivery on condition that the Seiler agree to pay a penalty which shall be deducted by the paying bank from the payment under negotiation,如果卖方并非因本合同第 18 条规 定的不可抗力事件而未按合同规定的期限交货，那末，只要卖方允许支付罚金，并由付款行从议付款中扣 除，买方便允许卖方延期交货。句中浮现两处条件从句，should引导的从句属于非真实条件句，即虚拟语气，表示该条件发生的可 能性很小

8、，也就是说是当事人不希翼浮现的不利情况。而on condition that引导的条件从句，往往表示 只要某情况浮现，就如何如何。彳列六： Notwithstanding the completion of the sale and purchase of theordinary shares in the Company, the terms and conditions of this agreement shall remain in full force and effect as between the parties hereto in so far as the same are

In this example, uPartner Name“ would be uInternet Marketing” .试举一例,如果Stamp, com公司与一家名叫Internet Marketing的公司有一合伙协议。本 例中，该“合伙名称就是Internet Maketing”。If and w

11、henever the attorney at law designated by Party B comes to work with Party A, Party A shall offer all sufficient and necessary facilities, arrange the said legal counsel with an office, appoint a company officer to assist legal counsel with his function, provide relevant information and write and pr

12、int legal draft for such legal counsel.乙方律师至lj甲方工 作时，甲方应充分赋予安排，安排法律顾问办公场所，选派干部协助律师工作，提供有关情况，缮写、打 印稿件等。相关链接： in no case, in no event, in the case of, in any case 等in no case和in no event表示决不即无论怎样都不行。例如： Vessel over 20 years of age shall in no event be acceptable to the Buyer,船龄超过 20年的，买方概不接受。In the ca

13、se of就什么来说，关于，in any case无论如何例如： In the case of dangerous and/or poisonous cargo (es), the Seller is obliged to take care to ensure that the nature and the generally adopted symbol shall be marked conspicuously on each package.关于危(wei)险或者有毒货物，卖方有义务照管确保其属性安全且应 在每一包装 上标注通常采用的标识。二、表示“某物所有权属于某人”的句型Sth.

14、is (shall remain) the property of sb. , the title of sth. shall be vested in sb.英语合同表示“某物所有权属于某人”时，常用到这两个句型。如果用Ihe ownership of sth. belongs to sb.,或者sb. owns/possesses sth.就不够正式，而且possess只指目前属于某人，并不能 说明获得的来源，而own只表示“对，中的合法占有”。例一： Any drawings or technical documents interested for use in the Constru
