 According to Skopos theory, translator's choice of translation strategies is always guided by the purposes of the translation. Purposeful adaptation means adaptations or adjustments made to the source text or the purposeful selections of translation techniques in order to conform to the linguistic nouns in the target text so that the translated contract document can be well accepted by the target readers and therefore performs its functions successfully.
 In the Chinese texts above, we can see many“如果”.To conform to the linguistic features of English contract document, the translator employs adaptations to the source texts. So provided that, in case, in event, etc, are adopted to make the target texts have more linguistics characteristics of contract documents. In contract documents, there is a rich use of conditional clauses to set restriction on certain matters. In the contract documents, different ways of expressing conditions are often used to avoid redundancy. The following are some common conditional expressions in contract documents:
In case of(假如) , only if（只当）,  provided that（若是）,Unless（除非）, if（如果）, in view（鉴于）, on condition that（在……前提下）
 
 IV. Methods of Contract Translation
The most daunting aspect of contract translation common to almost every language is the culture-specific quality of the texts. As Martin Weston suggests, " the basic translation difficulty of overcoming conceptual differences between languages becomes particularly acute due to cultural and conceptual differences between languages becomes particularly more specifically institutional reasons" also suggests that "a word denoting an object, an institution, or if such exists, a psychological characteristic peculiar to the source language culture is always more or less untranslatable" (quoted in Weston 1987:207). The equivalence of an institution, a division, a concept, or a term may not be found in the target language一in our case, in Chinese. There are no words in Chinese to express some of the most elementary notions of British law. The words "common law" and "equity" are only two of the examples. There is no system of "common law" and "equity" in the Chinese legal system. A Chinese legal translator may overcome the difficulties of translating English contract into Chinese and vice-versa by using the following methods:
4.1 Paraphrasing
 This method is explaining the SL concept if it is unfamiliar to the target reader when there is no equivalent institution or concept in the target culture. For example， the translation of“提存”is problematic, since used there is no such term in the English legal system widely. As we know, in the British legal system, "escrow" is in contract performance and has at least three meanings:
