(Contract Law of People’s Republic of China) 合同是平等主体的自然人、法人、其他组织之间设立、变更、终止民事权利义务关系的协议。 合同的语篇特征 程式化 (正式、公式化) 与文学翻译不同，契约语言的翻译讲究的不是标新立异，而是合乎惯例。因此，熟悉合同文本的格式和语言是译者入行的基本要求。(page 189, textbook) 准确性、严谨性 合同中涉及重要概念和专业术语，翻译时应再三斟酌；合同语言属于契约语言，是谨慎的语言，言出必践。如有差错，小则带来不便，重则造成不良政治影响或经济纠纷。 长句多 合同中为了完整、明确双方的权利和义务，语句较长，从句和插入语使用较多。 e.g. 1.
