The Characteristics of Business Contracts Text Characteristic Business contract is a special application style, focusing on documentary, whose major characteristic is accurate and rigorous. As business contract is a legally document that asks the parties to strictly obey the obligations, right, codes of conduct and other specific terms, as drilled legal loopholes, it does not allow the vague and mileding, it would rather sacrifice the fluenc y of text but maintain truth. Preciseness The preciseness of the business contract translation is the principles problem in practice contract language is a legal context that emphasizes the structure of language, another characteristic is using formal words, repeat words, parallel conjunctions, etc, in order to ensure the contract text rigor and unbeatable, also reflected the contract solemn and seriousness as legal documents. Normalization Generally, the structure of a contract is anized, and the terms and statements involved ply with the contract documents and the program requirements. A plete business, the terms of the contract are up to dozens to defined buyers and sellers obligations clearly. After a long practice and texting , The structure has been relatively fixed, whether it is Chinese or English. The contract can be divided into four parts : title(標(biāo)題 )， preamble(序言 )， body(正文 )， and conclusion(結(jié)尾 ). Since business contract is written to protect legal rights and interests, it require the use of body language solemn or formal style. Profession Business contracts are highly professional, involving finance, trade, tariffs, customs, modities, insurance, warehousing, modity inspection, legal and many other areas, business contract is the plex field of expertise text. Therefore, the translation process constantly absorbs and integrates new knowledge. Business contracts basic characteristics of these text features to determine the business process of translation to follow strict procedures. For example, We hereby agree with the drawers, endorsers and bona fide holders of the drafts drawn 4 under and in pliance with the terms of this credit that such drafts shall be duly honored on due presentation and delivery of documents as herein specified. This sentence looks a little plex, and involves some credit terms, if a translator is not familiar with credit professional terms such as ： drawers（出票人）、 endorsers（背書人）、 drawn（開具）、 drafts（匯票）、 honored（履行付款責(zé)任）、 presentation（提示）、 documents（ 單據(jù)），they would have no ideas about this.

For example, A reply to any offer, which purports to be an acceptance but contains additions, limitations or other modifications, is a rejection of the offer and constitutes a counteroffer. “which” Guide the restrictive attributive clause modified reply. Translation： “對(duì)發(fā)價(jià)表示接受，但載有添加、限制、或其它更改的答復(fù)，即為拒絕該項(xiàng)發(fā)價(jià)并構(gòu)成還價(jià) ”。 For example, The seller must deliver goods which are of the quantity, quantity and descriptions required by the contract and which are contained or packed in the manner required by the contract. Sentence of “which” in attributive clause is to guide the terms of provisions of goods, rather than depicted and described the deep structure of sentences. “Goods must be”，如譯成： “ 賣方必須交付 ?? 的貨物 ” , Semantic ambiguity. Therefore, the deep structure of the sentence can be translated in accordance with the subjectpredicate structure in Chinese, So it’s can be translated into 賣方交付的貨物必須與合同所規(guī)定的數(shù)、質(zhì)量和規(guī)格一致，并按照合同所規(guī)定的方式裝箱或包裝 ” 。 Adverbial Clauses As adverbial clauses highlight the flexibility and diversity, they are often used in business contract, such as the number of adverbial modification of a verb or an adverbial contains another very mon. 5 For example, with in 30 days after the signing and ing into effect of this contract, the buyer shall proceed to pay the price for the goods to the seller by opening an imbecile L/C for the amount of USD , in favor of the seller through a bank at export port .The backbone of the sentence The buyer shall proceed to pay the price to the seller which contains a time adverbial
