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：

Thisagreement/contractismadeandenteredintothis____dayof_____(month),_______(year)byandbetweenPartyA(hereinaftercalled"PartyA")andPartyB(hereinaftercalled"PartyB")然后是开始陈述：

WHEREAS…THEREFORE

…Itisherebyagreedasfollows:

或以：

WITNESSETH,WHEREAS…NOWTHEREFORE,forandinconsiderationofthemutualcovenantsandagreementscontainedherein,thepartiesherebycovenantandagreeasfollows:

接着是正文，最后是证明局部：
