表现在惯用的大词和正式词语被短小词或词组所代替,如用“We try to choose our trading partners carefully.”替代“We endeavor to choose our trading partners with discretion.”而在商务合同中,经常使用一些很正式、冷僻的词以显示商务公文的规范性和约束力。如用expiry而非end,用certify而非prove等。商务合同属法律性公文,其正规性还表现在大量使用一些法律术语或具有法律特点的词语,如infringement (侵权), NOWTHEREFORE(特此,兹特), IN WITNESSTH WHERE OF(兹证明)等。
由here/there/where+介词构成的古英语常为英文合同的公文惯用语,如hereafter自此,今后; hereby特此,兹;herein此中,于此; hereinafter在下文中; hereof在本文中,关于这点; hereto在此(协定或文字材料上),于此; heretobefore迄今为止,在此之前; hereupon随后,随即; thereafter其后,以后; thereby由此,因而; therein在其中; thereinafter在下文中,以下; thereof其中,它的; thereon/upon在其上,就此; thereto加于(协议)之上,随附; thereunder在其下; whereas鉴于;whereby凭借; wherein在那儿; whereof兹特; whereupon因此,于是。翻译这类商务公文体时,也要译成汉语的商务公文体,做到语体的功能对等。例如:(2)WHEREAS, Adesires to exportto B the goods as specified in Exhibit A thereof (hereinafter called the“Goods”); and whereas, B desires to import the Goods from A. Now, THEREFORE, A and B hereby agree as follows:……鉴于甲方愿意向乙方出口本合同附件A中规定的物品(以下简称“货物”);且鉴于乙方愿意从甲方进口上述货物,因此,甲方和乙方特同意订立下列条款:……(3)INWITNESS WHREROF, the parties hereto have caused this agreement to be executed by their respective representatives on the date first above written.兹证明,本协议由双方各自代表在上述订约日期签订。根椐上述分析可见,商务英语翻译者要准确把握不同场合源语文体的语体特征,尽量在译语中找出相对应的语体。
三、 商务英语语句的最大特点是简洁明快,逻辑严密            
简洁明快主要表现在商务信函中多使用简洁句、简短并列句和简短复合句。例如:We are delighted to receive your letter of November 18 asking whether we can supply you with Art. No  6120. (很高兴收到你方11月28日来函询问我方可否供应6120货号商品。)简洁明快还表现为在商务信函中使用大量的缩写词,当然这些缩写词都是约定俗成、双方认可的。如A/C (account)帐户; ENCL (enclosure)内附; FYI (for your information)供你方参考; I.R.O.(in respect of )关于。
商务英语的逻辑严密性主要表现在商务合同等法律文件多用长句、复合句、并列复合句等法律公文常用句式以及分隔现象、介词(短语)、插入语、同位语、倒装句、被动语态(过去分词)等特殊句型。[2]例如:(4)Force Majeure (“Excepted Risks”) shall mean an occurrence beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the party affected including, but not limited towar, hostilities (whether war to be declared or not), invasion, act of foreign enemies, rebellion, https://www.51lunwen.org/ revolution, insurrection or military or usurped power, civil war, strikes, riots, commotion or disorder, earthquakes, or any similar operation of forces of nature 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
