31、agreement ，就几乎可以解读所有的第一类用语了。以下 来详细看看这个原则的运用情形。 （注意： hereinafter 在 定义条款中用来表示以下简称 . 的意思，虽然也用 here 为前缀，但与这里所说的传统用语无关。hereunder = under this agreementhereunder 用 under this agreement代替后，就很清楚地可以了解是在本合约内 、依据本合约的意思 常和这个字结合的概念有如下几个例子：obligations hereunder ，解读后等于： obligations under this agreement 本合约内的义务righ

32、ts granted hereunder ，解读后等于： rights granted under this agreement依本合约所赋予的权利。payment due & hereunder ，解读后等于： payment due under this agreement 依本合约应付的价款。 notice & required to be given hereunder，解读后等于： noticerequired to be given under this agreement依本合约所应给予的通知。payment amount “ due ” ，“due ”是债务到期 的意思。 &

33、noticehereto = to this agreement，因为英文文法里对介系词 to 有某些一定的用法（例如动词 attach 后面接 受词时，就要用介系词 to ），所以这个字最常出现在英文 合约里的状况，就是和当事人以及附件两个概念相 结合：both parties hereto ，解读后等于： both parties to this agreement 本合约之当事人双方。items specified in Attachment I hereto，解读后等于： items specified in Attachment I to this agreement 本合约之附件

34、I 所列之各项。， hereby 中文大hereby = by this agreement概可以说是在此 、依此的意思，表示当事人借着这个 合约，要宣示某种具有法律上效力的意思表示 ，例如保 证、同意、放弃权利等等。The Company hereby covenants and warrants and that. 解读后等于 ： By this agreement the Company covenants and warrants that.公司在此保证 . 。Both parties hereby agree that. 解读后等于： By this agreement both p

35、arties agree that.双方当事人在此同意 . 。The Seller hereby waives & the right of.解读后等于： By this agreement the Seller waives the right of. 卖方在此放弃 . 的权利 。covenants and warrants 保证条款与承诺条款 。hereof = of this agreement; herein = in this agreement 。 hereof 和 herein 与 前 面 介 绍 过 的 hereunder 、 hereto 以及 hereby 比较起来，可能的

36、用 法与场合较广泛，所连接的概念也比较没有固定性，同时在 很多情况下 hereof 和 herein 相互代换使用，意思上并不 会有很大的差别。由于 of 和 in 是比较普通易懂的介系词， 只要读者继续掌握前面一贯的原则，应该不会有什幺理解上 的困难。to file a suit in the court agreed to herein解读后等于： to file a suit in the court agreed to inthis agreement 向当事人于本合约中合意管辖的法院提起诉讼。to follow the terms and conditions herein，解读后等

37、于： to follow the terms and conditions in thisagreement 遵守本合约所规定的条件。to take effect on the date hereof，解读后等于：to take effect on the date of this agreement于本合约之日期生效。the headings of the sections hereof，解读后等于： the headings of the sections of this agreement本合约各条款之标题。the court agreedto杂项条款中的合意管辖条款。terms and

38、 conditions交易条件 。thereof, thereto.与 the same ，以 there 为前缀再加上介系词，例如thereofthereto 等用语，以及 the same 这一类的用语比较不容易处理，因为上面介绍的原则无法直接套用，而必须靠 读者自己依照合约的上下文来判断。我们来看看下面两个例 子： 例 一 ： No change in or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is made in writing. （本约之修改需以书面为之，始生效力。 ） 例二： This Agre

39、ement is written in the English language. In case of any discrepancy between the English version and any translation thereof, the English text shall govern. （本约以英文订定，与其它 语言之翻译版本解释上生差异者，以英文为主。 ） 读者从上下文应该可以推敲出来，例一里的 the same 指的是合约的修改 ，也就是前面的change in or modification of this Agreement 这些字句，合约撰写人 为了避免文句

40、重复造成阅读负担与篇幅冗长，于是就简单用 the same 两个字来代替。（换句话说，如果不用 the same 的方法，整句话应该 是： No change in ormodification of this Agreement shall be valid unless the change in or modification of this Agreement is made in writing.）。至于例二里的 thereof ，也可以从上下文看出来是代替 of the English version 这几个 字。这和第一类的 hereof 其实有类似的解读方法，但是 hereof

41、 的 here 通常都可以用 this agreement 来代替， 但是 thereof 的 there 要用什幺代替，就没有一定的 规则了，在例二 there 代替的是 the English version 在别的地方却又代替其它的概念，这就是第二类用语为什幺 较第一类来得困难的原因了。其实都算是比较容易掌握的条款，有些英文合约里将 thereof 、the same 等字眼大量运用在各种不同的地方， 究竟代表什幺意义，除了细心推敲上下文，灵活思考该合约 所要规范的法律逻辑关系外，恐怕还得靠读者累积大量的英 文合约处理经验，以及平时一般英语分析能力的加强，才有 办法得心应手了。篇五：借款
