这一句的翻译似乎值得商榷。括号中的部分，我觉得 应该翻成：各方不得依赖

另一方在本协议之外的陈述或保证。此句和上面那句的意思仍有 不同。

6. Amendments to this Contract may be made only by a written instrument signed by

a duly authorised representative of each of the Parties and, unless prior approval from

the Examination and Approval Authority/the appropriate government department is

statutorily required, such amendments shall become effective upon the signing by the

duly authorised representatives of both Parties.

对本合同的修 改，只能通过各方的正式授权代表签署书面协议进行。除法律要

政府有关部门事先批准外，该等修改经双方授权代表签字后立

7. This Agreement shall be signed in four (4) counterparts and all such counterparts

taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties

shall sign a Chinese language version of this Agreement as soon as reasonably

possible. Should there be any discrepancy between the two language versions, the

English version of this Agreement shall prevail.

词语的翻译（二）

复叠词的翻译

法律英语在用词方面的 特点之一，是常常讲两个同义词或近义词复叠在一起使

用，形成相对固定或稳定的词组， 或是为了加强语势，或是为了措辞严谨。在

翻译时，大体上有下列两种方法：

（

）

两个复叠的词意义相同或大体相同，一般只需译成一个汉语词：

(a) The contract was declared null and void by the competent authority.

主管部门宣

布该合同无效。

(b) If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be invaild,

illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality

and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way

be affected or impaired and shall remain in full force and effect.

执行的，则本协议的其他条 款的效力、合法性和可执行性不受任何影响或损

害，并依然完全有效。

(c) During the term of this Agreement, Party A shall undertake, renew and maintain

for its benefit and interest, and at its own cost and expense, the following primary

insurance policies.

在本协议期间，甲方应为自身利益自费购买、续买和保持下

列主要保险。

(d) Party A further represents and warrants that the Land is free and clear of any and

all claims, charges, easement, encumbranches, lease, convenants, security interest,

liens, option, pledge, rights of others, or restrictions.

甲方进一步陈述和保证， 该土

地不存在任何权利主张、抵押、地役权、权利负担、租约、契约、担保权益、

留置权、购买权、质押、他人权利或限制。

(e) In the event that any of the conditions referred to in Clause X is not fulfilled on or

before the Cut-off Date, then the Puchaser may by notice to the Vendor terminate this

Agreement whereupon all obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall

cease and determine.

如果在截止日期或之前，

买方则可以经通知卖方终止本协议。协议一 旦终止，各方在本协议项下的所有

义务和责任即刻终止。

两个复叠的词意义相近，可用两个汉语近义词来翻译，以充分体现原文

的意旨：

(a) The Company shall, at its own cost and expense, at all times during operation of

the factory and other facilities and during any construction work take out and

maintain full and adequate property insurance covering the buildings, contents, and

other first party risks of the Company as are customarily insured against in China.

公

司应在工厂和其他设施运营期间以及工 程施工期间，自费购买并保有在中国按

惯例应予保险的，包括公司建筑物，内部设施以及 其他第一方风险在内的全面

和充分的财产保险。

(b) Each Party undertakes with the other Party that it shall treat as strictly confidential

all information received or obtained by it or its employees, agents or advisers as a

result of entering into or performing this Agreement and that it shall not at any time

到或获得的所有信息严格保密，且在此后任何时候均不使用或向任何人披露或

一连串相关词的翻译

法律英语在用词 方面的另一个特征是，常常把一连串意义相关或相近的词房子

一起，以求全面而无疏漏。 但由于并不是每个法律用词在汉语中都有完全等同

或对应的词，这给翻译造成了难题。处 理这个问题的办法是，能找到对应词

的，尽量用对应词来译；没有类似的同类词的，只能 暂告阙如。

(a) The Parties agree that this Agreement may be pleaded in any court of competent

jurisdiction as a bar to any action, suit, claim, cause of action or proceeding

commenced by Party B against Party A or Party C for or in respect of or in any way

connected with or arising out of the claim.

各方同意，本协议可在有管辖权的任何

法庭上用 于答辩，以阻止乙方为索赔、就索赔、与索赔有关或因索赔而向甲方

或丙方提起诉讼、索 赔、诉讼事由或诉讼程序。

(b) Taxation shall comprise all forms of taxes, including without limitation income

tax, capital gains tax, stamp duty, tariffs, customs duties, import and export duties,

impositions, duties and levies, and all fines, penalties, charges, fees, costs and rates

imposed, levied and collected by the taxation authority and other competent

authorities.

税收包括各种形式的税项，包括但不限于税务局和其他主管部门征

收的所得税、资本利 得税、印花税、关税、进出口税、各种征税、以及一切罚

金、收费和税款。
