星期三,我去游老师家画画,刚坐到安安姐姐旁边时,我眼睛一亮,看见了一块蓝白灰相间的橡皮,它跟我们平时的橡皮与众不同,于是我带着好奇心半开玩笑问安安姐姐。‘‘安安姐姐你这块橡皮的`颜色好特别啊!是不是有什么秘密武器呢?”安安姐姐得意的朝我一笑,拿起一张白纸,用钢笔、铅笔、素描笔各画了一条线,然后只见他拿起橡皮的蓝色那一面轻轻的往钢笔线一擦,钢笔线一下子消失了!接着他拿了灰色一面,轻轻松松地把素描线擦得干干净净!这时我恍然大悟,从安安姐姐拿过橡皮,用白色一面擦起了铅笔线。“好有创意啊!”我不禁感叹一句,周围的小朋友都围了过来,拿起这块神奇的橡皮,擦了擦,大家的脸上都露出了惊奇的表情!“这种橡皮真方便,以前要带三块橡皮,现在只要带一块橡皮了!”……大家七嘴八舌的讨论着。
这时我看着小小的橡皮,不禁想到:在生活中一样很小的东西,哪怕是一块普通的橡皮,只要我们仔细观察发挥我们的聪明智慧,就能够用好创意改变我们的生活和学习,甚至世界
1。thereof
以”there”为前缀加上介词构成的词,如thereafter, thereby, therein, thereinafter, thereinbefore, thereon, thereof, thereunder, thereupon, therewith等,在文中具体指什么,需要读者依照合同的上下文来判断,因而理解起来比较复杂,请看下例:
This Agreement is written in the English language。 In case of any discrepancy between the English version and any translation thereof, the English text shall govern。 句中”the English version and any translation thereof”从上下文判断意为 “the English version and any translation of the English version”,即thereof一词代替of the English version。与以here开头的词如hereof的理解方法类似。
2。therein
该词意为in that, in that particular
context, in that respect,“在那里”,“在那点上”,“在那方面”,表示上文已提及的“合同中的”“工程中的”。如:the contract or any part thereof意为the contract or any part of the contract,合同或合同的任何部分。

2。hereof
该词意为:of this agreement,“关于此点”;“在本文件中”,表示上文已提及的“本合同的、本文件的……”,一般置于要修饰的名词的后面,与之紧邻。如:to take effect on the date hereof 意为:to take effect on the date of this agreement 即:于本合约之日期生效。再如:the headings of the sections hereof 意为:the headings of the sections of this agreement 即:本合约各条款之标题。

5。hereinafter
该词意为:later in the same Contract,“以下”,“在下文”,一般与to be referred to as, referred to as, called 等词组连用,以避免重复。
6。hereunder
该词意为:under this agreement,“在本合约内”、“依据本合约”。如:obligations hereunder,意为obligations under this agreement,即“本合约内的义务”。再如:rights granted hereunder,意为rights granted under this agreement,即“依本合约所赋予的权利”。
1。Whereas
该词意为:considering that, “鉴于”,“就(而论”,常用于合同协议书的开头段落以引出合同双方订立合同的理由或依据。如:Whereas Party A desires to use the Patented Technology of Party B to manufacture and sell the Contract Products……鉴于甲方希望利用乙方的专利技术制造并销售合同产品。
2。Whereby
该词意为:by the agreement, by the following terms and conditions,“凭此协议”,“凭此条款”,常用于合同协议书中以引出合同当事人应承担的主要合同义务。如:

以上是对外经贸合同英语中几个典型旧体词用词方面的重要的特点,笔者希望初涉外经贸合同的教师和学生予以留意,有针对性地学习,达到事半功倍的效果;也希望进行外贸合同写作时也能把握住这几个特点,写出好的外经贸合同,顺利地进行外贸业务往来。
