例2 货到目的港15天内经中国商品检验局复检，如发现品质、数量或重量与本合同规定不符，除属保险公司或船运公司负责外，买方凭中国商品检验局出具的检验证明书，向卖方提出退货或索赔，所有应退货或索赔引起的一切费用及损失均由卖方负担。 原译：If the quality，quantity or weight of goods are not found in conformity with those stipulated in this contract after re-inspection by the China Commodity Inspection Bureau within 15 days after arrival of the goods at the port of destination，with the exception of those claims for which the Insurers or the Carriers are liable，the Buyers shall return the goods to or lodge claims against the sellers for compensation of losses on the strength of inspection certificate issued by the said bureau, all expenses and losses arising from the return of goods or claims should be borne by the Sellers． 审校时，会发现这个条款英译文有两处不妥： ①从句中的连词“if‘’应换成“in case”。在合同英文中“in case”与“if”不是同一个意思，“in case”主要用于陈述预防措施，暗示提前做某些事情以保证安全。另外，从句中的谓语也应改为虚拟语气in ase+S+(should)+V，这样使人觉得发生索赔的可能性很小。 ②从句中“not”的位置应放在“in conformity with”的前面，表示“发现……与……不符”。 以上这个条款经审校改为： In case the quality，quantity or weight of goods be found not in conformity with those stipulated in this contract after re-inspection by the China Commodity Inspection Bureau within 15 days after arrival of the goods at the port of destination, with the exception of those claims for which the Insurers or the Carriers are liable, the Buyers shall return the goods to or lodge claims against the Sellers for compensation of losses upon the strength of inspection certificate issued by the said bureau．．．’’ 例3 买方应在货到目的港30天内向卖方提交索赔通知，在此期间如卖方未接到买方索赔通知及公证行开立的公证报告，则认为买方无索赔要求。 原译：The Buyer must give the Seller notice of any claim within 30 days after arrival of goods at the port of destination．Unless such notice，accompanied by proof certified by an authorized surveyor，arrives at the Sellers office during such 30 days’ period，the Buyer shall be deemed to have no claim． 译文中的“notice of any claim”前应加“written”。因为，解决索赔案件必须以书面形式提出，往往是先发电报提出索赔要求，再发信件，详细申述。最后一句译文“to have no claim”表达也欠妥，“认为买方无索赔要求”意思是“买方在有效期内没有提出索赔要求，可以认为买方放弃这种要求”，应改译为“to
