1 、 THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT is entered into by and between ABC , a Delaware corporation (“ABC”), and EDF, a China corporation (“DEF”), effective as of this XXX, 2005 (the “Effective Date”). The parties hereby agree as follows:
参考译文： 本项购买协议由 ABC 公司（一家特拉华州公司，简称 “ABC” ）和 DEF 公司（一家中国公司，简称 “DEF” ）订立，并于 2005 年 XXX （ “ 生效日 ” ）生效。双方当事人特此约定如下：
注释：一般而言，英文合同的引言都会使用上述句式。句子中 “by and between” 的直译含义为：由某人 …. 且在两者之间；其翻译成中文的含义为：由 … 和 … 某事，但是 “by and between” 是指在两者之间。如果说是在三者之间订立合同，就用 “by and among” 。例如，如果本句被修改为 “THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT is entered into by and among A, B, C” ，则本句应该翻译为 “ 本购买协议由 A 、 B 和 C 公司共同订立 ” 。 “effective as of” ，系指从某日开始生效。 “hereby” 相当于中文中的 “ 特此 ” ，类似的词还有： hereof ( 本文件中 ) 、 thereof （该文件中）、 whereby （据此，由此）。

注释：翻译中，有些词需要省略，例如“ under number [XXX to be filled in] ”中的“ under ”在翻译时就已经被省略；“ whose registered office is located [location] , [country] ”中的“ whose ”在翻译成“ 注册地位于 [ 县 ][ 地 ] ”已经省略，“ acting in his capacity of [position] ”中的“ acting in his capacity of ”在翻译为“职位为 [****] ”时已经被省略。“ Hereafter referred to as ”一般翻译为“以下简称为”。

参考译文： 本生产场地租赁协议（下称本“协议”）由以下各方于 [.] 订立：
（ 1 ） ABC 有限公司 ，一家正在中国 [ = ] 组建和登记的公司，其主要营业场所将为中国 [ = ] ，（下称“合营公司”或“承租方”），其正式代表为其两个投资人， EFG 有限公司 （下称“ EFG ”，一家依据中国法律组建的公司，其注册地址位于 [******] ， 由其正式授权代表法籍 [******] 先生代表其谈判签署本协议）和 EFG, 共同代表该合营公司并以该合营公司的名义行事；
与
（ 2 ） EFG 有限公司 （下称“ EFG ”）， 一家依据中华人民共和国法律成立的公司，其注册地址为 [******] ，由其正式授权代表中国籍 [ = ] 先生正式代表其谈判并签署本协议；
与
（ 3 ） KLM 有限公司 （下称“ KLM ”）， 一家依据中国法律成立的公司，其注册地址为 [******] ，由其正式授权代表中国籍 [ = ] 先生正式代表其谈判并签署本协议；
承租方和出租方单独称为“一方”，和称为“各方”。
注释：由于英文法律词汇同义词比较多，法律文件为了表述全面经常使用同义词。例如本例中的“ is made and entered into ”，其含义统一翻译为“订立”。“ in the process of incorporation and registration ”此处翻译为“正在组建和登记”，省略了“ in the process of ”，目的是为了在中文译文中表述更为通顺。这也是一种省词的翻译技巧。又例如，“ having its registered office at ”翻译为“其注册地址”就省略了“ having ”一词。
“ duly represented by ”的表面含义是指“由 …… 正式代表”，此处为了中文译文表述更为通顺，翻译为“其正式代表”。这也是翻译的一种技巧，即可以为了译文上下文的需要，翻译时可以改变原词的词性，如本例中将动词变更为名词。“ its duly empowered representative ”的含义是“正式授权代表”，也有表述为“ its duly authorized representative ”。“ be referred to individually as ”一般翻译为“单称”，“ be referred to collectively as ”一般翻译为“统称”。
