法律英语合同常见术语与表达 摘要：合同英语学习时，会出现法言法语，中古英语及外来语的表达，尤其是here, there等词的衍生词及普通词汇的法律话。 关键词：herein, hereunder, hereof, thereof, thereby, shall, advise, under, conclude, save. 英文合同中，虽然已经有了plain English（简明英语）的现象转变，“法言法语”仍常常用一些中古英语和外来词语表达，比如常见的vice versa（反之亦然）、null and void（无效）、inter alia（除了别的之外）、“here+介词”、“there+介词”系列等等，我们来探讨一下后两者的用法。 一、here+介词 1.herein The SELLER shall have no authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind or to take any action which shall be binding upon BUYER except as expressly provided forhereinor as may be authorized in writing by BUYER. 除非本合同作出明确规定或得到买方书面授权外，卖方无权作出任何形式的声明、陈述或承诺，或采取对买方具有约束力的任何行动。 这里的herein 就相当于in this contract/agreement。 2.hereunder “Facility A” means the term loan facility in US Dollars offeredhereunderpursuant to Section 2 (Facilities). “贷款 A ”是指根据第 2 节（贷款）提供的美元定期贷款。 这里的hereunder就相当于under the clause/contract/agreement，常常译为“根据”。 3.hereof “Comfort Letter” means that certain letter to be entered into on or about the date hereof, by the Shareholders and addressed to the Lender. “安慰函”指股东于本协议生效日或前后向贷款人发出的信函。 这里的hereof就相当于of this clause/contract/agreement。 二、there+介词 1.Thereof The Parties agree that any Tax relating to the Finance Documents or the performance thereof shall be paid by the applicable Parties according to relevant Governmental Rules.双方同意与财务文件或其履行有关的任何税收应由适用的各方根据相关政府规则支付。这里的thereof就相当于of that clause/contract/agreement（本条款/合同以外的条款、合同、协议…，即履行税收是根据财务文件，而不是本合同文件）。 2.Thereby Unless the buyer has received notice from the seller that he will not perform within the period so fixed, the buyer may not, during that period, resort to any remedy for breach of contract. However, the buyer is not deprived thereby?of any right he may have to claim damages for delay in performance[Form CISG Article 47(2)].如果买方没有收到卖方不会在规定的期间履行义务的通知，买方在这段期间，不得要求违约赔偿。但买方并不丧失因此要求履行迟延所造成的损害赔偿的权利（《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》第47条第2款）。这里的thereby就相当于by that clause/contract/agreement（本条款/合同以外的条款、合同、协议…）。?你发现什么共通之处了吗？here +介词表达的常常是在本条款/合同能够找到的内容，而there
