合同的结构特点 合同类法律文件用以规定当事人的权利与义务，是预防与解决争议的依据。合同英语行文慎密而准确，历史悠久，深含法律文化底蕴。 中文的合同开头一般先罗列当事人的名称、姓名、住所或营业场所，然后是合同正文，结尾是当事人印章、授权代表签字、职务及签字日期。而英语合同一般以下面这类句式为开头： This agreement/contract is made and entered in to this ____ day of?_____(month), _______ (year) by and between Party A (hereinafter?called Party A )and Party B(hereinafter called Party B ) 然后是开始陈述： WHEREAS...THEREFORE … It is hereby agreed as follows: 或以： WITNESSETH, WHEREAS… NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows: 接着是正文，最后是证明部分，： IN WITNESS WHEREOF，the parties hereto have hereunto set their?hands the day and years first above written. 最后还包括当事人和见证人的签字。由于签字日期容易引起纷争，所以一般在英文合同中不体现。 国际贸易英文合同书的构成 国际贸易中使用的英文合同通常都是由一下几部分内容构成的： ? 1 标题 2 前言(Non-operative Part)：包括导入部分和说明条款 (recitals=whereas clause + consideration)，其中导入部分由日期(date)、 签订地(place)和当事人(parties)三部分组成。 3 正文部分(Operative Part)： ——应履行的展物的具体条款内容（包括合同通行的条款和单独 的具体条款） ——履行债务过程中出现问题时的处理条款 ——合同出现变更情况时的处理条款 ——争议的解决条款 4 结尾部分：一般由结束语、签名和盖章三部分组成 5 附注/附表 (Schedules, Exhibits, Appendices or Annexes) 新加坡的英文合同格式 Agreement THIS AGREEMENT is made the 9th day of August, 2001 between LUCKY INTERNATIONAL LTD, a company incorporated in Singapore and having?its registered office at Telek Blongar Rise, Singapore 19569 (hereinfater called The Company) of the part and JACK Wong (NRIC?No.____ /A) of 108 Orchar Road, Singapore 01688 (hereinfater?called The Mangager) of the other part.
