一、注重细节合同作为一种具有法律约束的文件，它的严谨性可想而知，所以在进行合同翻译时，需要认真把控好每一个细节，特别是在涉及到金额和时间这类词汇时，为了避免出差错，译员必须谨慎对待，仔细检查译文中金额的大小是否一致性、各个金额之间的标点符号是否准确，货币符号是否准确，起止时间是否界定清楚，否则一个小小的错误可能会给企业造成重大损失。二、酌情使用公文惯用副词合同属于法律性公文，所以合同中经常会用到一些公文语言、特别是公文语言中的惯用副词，而这类惯用副词对于译文的结构、逻辑有着很重要的作用，因此在翻译合同时，我们必须熟知这些公文惯用副词的准确译法，以避免影响合同翻译质量。然而这类公文语惯用副词为数并不多，常用的这类副词是由here、there、where等副词加上after、by、in、of、on、to、under、upon、with等副词，构成一体化形式的公文语副词。三、慎重使用易混淆词汇。众所周知，任何一种语言都存在这样的现象，同一词汇在不同的语境，有不同的含义，而某些相近的词汇，所表达的意思则完全相反。合同作为一种具有法律效力的文件，对于准确性要求非常严格，所以在进行合同翻译时，一定要避免因为选词不当，造成合同条款意思模糊或是词不达意，以致在日后的合作中引起一些不必要的争端，从而为企业带来经济上的损失。比如同样是表达截止时间，by指的是在某月某日之前，包含所写日期，而before指的是所写日期的前一天；例如：shippingadvice是“装运通知”是由出口商（卖主）发给进口商（买主），而shippinginstructions是进口商（买主）发给出口商（卖主），两者意思相近，但是所表达的贸易主体则完全相反。另外同样是表达“遵守”的意思，abideby的主语是“人”，comply with的主语是非人称。以上就是“合同翻译注意事项”的介绍，希望可以对大家有所帮助，合同翻译质量的好坏，直接关系到贸易双方的利益，所以对于合同的翻译一定要慎重。
