採購合約 - 翻譯

※ 引述《aoirx (漩渦鳴人)》之銘言：
: 之前沒有翻譯過商業合約的經驗，靠線上字典翻了幾段，請各位看一下，有無需要修改。
: 謝謝！

: 基於2008/xx/xx所簽署之[買賣基本契約書]（以下稱為"原契約"），供給方EEE公司與採
: 購方MMM公司同意
: 簽署附屬合約(以下稱為"本契約")如下：

: The associated agreement (hereinafter called “The Contract”) is made and
: entered 2008/xx/xx , by and between EEE CO., LTD (called “Supplier”), and
: MMM Co., Ltd. (called “The Purchaser”), [Purchase Basic Agreement]
: supplier


=> 英文合約裡 會先介紹當事人(就是合約的第一段) 再說明締約原由(Whereas)
中文合約當然也會講到當事人(XXX下稱甲方OOO下稱乙方) 可是締約原由通常省略

這段中文 看起來像是說明締約原由的條款 (要確定當然還是看合約啦)
如果是的話 就不能翻成英文合約裡的當事人條款 而要寫成Whereas條款

Whereas, based on the General Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated 2008/XX/
XX (hereinafter referred to as the "General Agreement"), the Supplier EEE
and the Buyer MMM agree to enter into a supplemental agreement thereto

基本上 合約除了常有通用用語之外 更重要的是記載的當事人的權利義務
所以 就算中文只是敘述句 英文也要表現出權利義務 也就是shall這類用語

還有合約是針對將來發生事項 所以除非是描述事實背景 不然不會用agreed
其他像是purchaser contract observe 很少這樣用 個人沒見過

如果只是要翻譯 這樣大概就ok 可是 說實在 這個中文約寫得不夠好
我寫的英文也只是翻譯 就合約來說結構實在不夠嚴謹 語意太模糊 法效性不夠好

突然有加班的感覺 早知道不要晃進來= =
