    二、谨慎选用极易混淆的词语英译商务合同时,常常由于选同不当而寻致词不达意或者意思模棱两可,有时甚至表达的是完全不同的含义。因此了解与掌握极易混淆的词语的区别是极为重要的,是提高英译质量的关键因素之一,现把常用且易混淆的七对词语,用典型实例论述如下。

    2.1  shipping 1 advice 与 shipping instructionsshipping advice 是“装运通知”,是由出口商(卖主)发给进口商(买主)的。然而 shipping instructions 则是“装运须知”,是进口商(买主)发给出口商(卖主)的。另外要注意区分 vendor 2(卖主)与 vendee(买主),consignor(发货人)与 consignee(收货人)。上述这三对词语在英译时、极易发生笔误。

    2.2  abide 3 by 与 comply withabide by 与 comply with 都有“遵守”的意思.但是当主语是“人”时,英译“遵守”须用 abide by。当主语是非人称时,则用 comply with 英译“遵守”。

    例 3:双方都应遵守/双方的一切活动都应遵守合同规定。

    Both parties Shall abide by/All the activities of both parties shall comply with the contractual stipulations.

    2.3  change A to B 与 change A into B英译“把 A 改为 B”用“change A to B”,英译“把 A 折合成/兑换成 B”用“change A into B”,两者不可混淆。

    例 4:交货期改为 8 月并将美元折合成人民币。

    Both parties agree that change the time of shipment to August and change US dollar into Renminbi.

    2.4  ex 与 per源自拉丁语的介词 ex 与 per 有各自不同的含义。英译由某轮船“运来”的货物时用 ex,由某轮船“运走”的货物用 Per,而由某轮船“承运”用 by。

    例 5:由“维多利亚”轮运走/运来/承运的最后一批货将于 10 月 1 日抵达伦敦。

    The last batch 4 per/ex/by S.S. "Victoria" will arrive at London on October (S.S. = Steamship)2.5  in 与 after当英译“多少天之后”的时间时,往往是指“多少天之后”的确切的一天,所以必须用介词 in,而不能用 after,因为介词 after 指的是“多少天之后”的不确切的任何一天。

    例 6:该货于 11 月 10 日由“东风”轮运出,41 天后抵达鹿特丹港。

    The good shall be shipped per M.V. "Dong Feng" on November 10 and are due to arrive at Rottedaml in 140 days. (M.V.= motor vessel)2.6  on/upon 与 after当英译“……到后,就……”时,用介词 on/upon,而不用 after,因为 after 表示“之后”的时间不明确。

    例 7:发票货值须货到付给。

    The invoice 5 value is to be paid on/upon arrival of the goods.

    2.7  by 与 before当英译终止时间时,比如“在某月某日之前”,如果包括所写日期时,就用介词 by;如果不包括所写日期,即指到所写日期的前一天为止,就要用介词 before。

    例 8:卖方须在 6 月 15 日前将货交给买方。

    The vendor shall deliver the goods to the vendee by June 15.

    (or: before June 16,说明含 6 月 15 日在内。如果不含 6 月 15 日,就译为 by June 14 或者 before June 15。)
