By doing so, both parties are bound by the contract which is based on the related law. In this way, if one party breaches the contract, the other party is entitled to take legal action against him.

Accuracy of Contract LanguageIn a contract, language is the soul and the core element, so accuracy of contract language is essential. In this chapter, a parison about similarities and differences of contract language will be listed, and then a certain translation techniques will be adapted to improve language accuracy.. Language Comparison between English and Chinese Contract The legal quality of mercial contracts determines that mercial contract language definitely takes on identifying linguistic forms, such as selection of vocabulary, types of structures and conventions for the organization of information, etc., as pared with other styles. On the whole, both English and Chinese mercial contracts belong to a solemn style, characterized by pleted syntactic meaning, wellknit structures and standardized style.

As Chinese contracts are concerned, verb phrases or groups stand out other than preposition phrases. As a matter of fact, preposition phrases in English mercial contracts are often translated into verb phrases in Chinese mercial contracts.Through the above discussion, the similarities and differences in the syntactic level e to clear..
