法律英语实务:中英对照合同模板集1.0
翻译、审阅或起草英文合同是法律英语实务的基础工作之一,但对入门不久的从业者或学习者而言,常会为遣词造句、如何做到语言准确地道而苦恼,相对实用的参考素材却很难获取。如果手头有类似中英对照的双语合同作为参考,该是多么省时省力的事情。
出于保护客户商业秘密或隐私的考虑,律师不便于公开分享为客户起草的英文合同,脱密又十分麻烦,国内少见有开放的英文合同模板库,更不用提中英对照的合同了。百度文库和豆丁网中虽然有一部分中英对照的合同,但是来源不明,质量也参差不齐,不便参考;著名合同库法天使中的中英文合同也寥寥无几。
笔者从美股上市公司近年来发布的公告中整理出上百份双语合同,并进行分门别类,供大家参考。本文所列合同模板均是上市公司(多数实际运营主体在中国)或其相关方实际签署,实务参考价值相对较高。一方面可以作为起草英文合同的参考模板,一方面也可以作为法律英语学习者学习的资料。
