1.前言 preamble

一份標準英文合同通?？梢苑譃榍把裕╬reamble）、正文（operative part）、附錄（schedule）及證明部分即結束詞（attestation）四大部分組成。 前言（preamble）由“parties”及“recitals”兩部分組成。

“parties”為必備條款，在很多時候稱為“commencement”即合同的開場白，主要介紹合同各方的名稱或姓名、注冊地及地址、郵編及在合同中的簡稱。當然，并不是所有的合同都要詳細介紹以上諸要素，在許多簡單合同中，只是提一下各方的名稱。

i. 以下為“parties”的常用表達方式：

1. this agreement is entered into by and between ____ and ____. 本協(xié)議由以下雙方____和___ 簽署。

2. this agreement is entered into by and between ____ (hereinafter referred to as____) and ____ (hereinafter referred to as "_____"), whereby it is agreed as follows:

本協(xié)議由以下雙方____（以下簡稱____）和_____（以下簡稱___）簽署，達成如下協(xié)議：

注：在很多合同中，這部分加入簽約事由，如：

this agreement is entered into through friendly negotiations between _____ co.

(hereinafter referred to as the “party a”) and _____ co. (hereinafter referred to as the “party b”) based on equal

ity and mutual benefit to develop business on the terms and conditions set forth below:

本協(xié)議由_____（以下稱為甲方）和____（以下稱為乙方）為發(fā)展業(yè)務在平等互利的基礎上簽訂，其條款如下：

this agreement is entered into between _____ (hereinafter referred to as "company"), and ______, (hereinafter referred to as "employee") pursuant to paragraph viii(2) of the employee handbook, whereby it is agreed as follows:

本“協(xié)議”由_____（以下簡稱“公司”）與_____（以下簡稱“雇員”）根據(jù)“雇員手冊”第viii(2)款簽署，“協(xié)議”內容如下：

ii. 以下為標準的“parties”條款：

3. this agreement is made and entered into this _____th day of _____ in the year of ____ by and between ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at _____ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), and ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of _____, with its principal place of business at _____ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), whereby it is agreed as follows:

本合約由______，在_____法律之下并憑該等法律正式組織并存在的公司，其主要營業(yè)地點在______（下稱_____），與_____，在_____法律之下并憑該等法律正式組織并存在的公司，其主要營業(yè)地點______（下稱代理人），于_____日簽訂和締結，協(xié)議如下：

iii. “recitals”由數(shù)個以"whereas"字樣開頭的句子所組合而成（這些句子俗稱為“whereas clauses”），表示當事人乃是在基于對這些事實（例如訂約的目的、背景來由等）的共同認識，訂立此合約。

4. this agreement is made and entered into this _____ day of _____ in the year of ____ by and between _______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at ______ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), and ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at ______ (hereinafter referred

to as “_____”)

witnessed

whereas, now therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:

本合約由_____，在_____法律之下并憑該等法律正式組織并存在的公司，其主要營業(yè)地點在______（下稱_____）（或下稱供應商），與_______，在_____法律之下并憑該等法律正式組織并存在的公司，其主要營業(yè)地點_

鑒于

因此，雙方當事人達成以下協(xié)議：

注：witnessed可以用withnessth、withnessth that等來代替。

iv. 在很多美國常用合同中，在很多情況下直接用recitals引導數(shù)個陳述語句或“whereas clauses”。下面為一個資產購買協(xié)議實例：

this asset purchase agreement (the "agreement") is made and entered into as of may 19, 1997 by and among aaa, a delaware corporation ("aaa"), bbb, a delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of aaa ("buyer"), ccc ("summit"), and ddd, an oregon corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of summit ("seller").

recitals

a. the boards of directors of each of summit, seller, aaa and buyer believe it is in the best interests of each company and their respective security holders that buyer acquire certain listed assets and assume certain listed liabilities of seller (the "acquisition").

b. on the date hereof, buyer has executed a $2,000,000 irrevocable purchase order to purchase 400 time-based licenses for summit's visual hdl interfaces for visual test bench ("vtb") software on aaa's standard form of purchase order, which is payable within five (5) business days after the date hereof.

now, therefore, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

2.定義 definition

在正文（habendum）部分，通常第一章為定義（definitions）部分。

定義條款即對合同中涉及的術語及名詞作出限定、解釋的條款。它可以散見于合同各個部分，但對于一些大型的、重要的合同，通常將其置于第一章。

i. 常見的定義語句常用mean, refer to, be construed as, include等來表達。如：

1. "territory" means the united states of america.“銷售地區(qū)”是指美利堅合眾國。

2. “commencement date” shall mean the date of signing this agreement by the last signing party hereto.

“協(xié)議生效日”是指本“協(xié)議”最后簽字的一方簽署本“協(xié)議”的日期。

3. the “agreement” herein referred to shall mean this agreement of agency by entrustment.

“協(xié)議”在這里是指本委托代理協(xié)議。

4. “code” shall refer to the current and applicable internal revenue code.

“法”是指當前可用的國內稅收法。

5. reference to any statutory provision shall be construed as a reference to the same as it may have been, or may from time be, amended, modified or re-enacted.

引用法律規(guī)定理解為引用其本身外，還包括其修訂、修正或重新實施案。

6. "expenses" include costs, charges and expenses of every description. “費用”包括各種形式的金錢支出。

ii. 還有一類特殊的定義語句，即對于「單、復數(shù)」及「陰、陽性」名詞的范圍定義。通常都是用include來表達：

1. "stock certificate" includes "stock certificate" and "stock certificates".

合同中的“股票”，包括單數(shù)與復數(shù)。

2. "he" includes "he" and "she".

合同中的“他”，包括“他”與“她”。

3. words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number.

采用單數(shù)或復數(shù)的單詞也包括復數(shù)或單數(shù)。

iii. 定義語句中，有時需限定范圍。而通常用得最多的是：“for the purpose of ”及“in relation to”某概念的定義條款，如果適用范圍僅限于合同的“特定部份”，可以用“for the purpose of ”來為定義條款起頭。而如果定義條款是針對合同的“特定概念”，就用“in relation to”來界定。如下例：

1. for the purpose of this agreement, "products" means all types of the machineries manufactured by manufacturer as are specified in attachment

a hereto.

本協(xié)議所稱的“產品”，指制造人所制造如附件a表列之各式機器。

2. "address" means－

(a) 就自然人而言in relation to an inpidual, his usual residential or business address; and

(b) in relation to a corporation, its registered or principal office in the republic of china.

“地址”就自然人而言，指通常之居所或工作場所；就公司而言，指位于中華人民共和國之注冊所在地或主營業(yè)所。

iv. 在定義條款中，在定義語句前有時會加上一些陳述語句來引導，如：
