2023年版Notwithstanding 在合同条款中的用法

2023年版Notwithstanding在合同条款中的用法在合同翻译，尤其是英译中时，经常可以见到”notwithstandingtheforegoing“之类的句子，通常这类句子可以直接译为“尽管有上述规定”，翻译与although，though，evenif使用并没有太大区别，基本上都可以翻译成“尽管…”，“即使…”，表示一种让步，但是它引导的并不是让步状语从句，后面接的内容应放在次要位置考虑。例

Notwithstandingtheforegoing,thebuyer’sobligationtopaythepurchaseagreementprice,oranyothersumsdueunderthepurchaseagreement,isontsosuspended.尽管有前述规定，但买方支付采购订单价格的义务或其他到期款项并不因此推迟。也就是说，即使发生了不可抗力，买方照常付款，不得延迟。例
