Each copy was written in English and Chinese with two copies in each, and the two texts have the same effect. 译文2：This Contract is signed in Shanghai, China this 30th day of May, 2006, in duplicate in English and Chinese languages, both texts being equally authentic. * 五、 合同翻译理论 例1. 购货合同 PURCHASE CONTRACT No. 2021－72116 Date: June 20, 2021 Signed at Shenzhen, China The Buyer: Unicon Corporation
