2 引导词

2.1 前言引导词WITNESSETH, Whereas, Therefore;

witnesseth, vb. Shows; records. ● This term, usu.8 set in all capitals, commonly separates the preliminaries in a contract, up through the recitals9, from the contractual terms themselves, but modern drafters increasingly avoid it as an antiquarian relic10. Traditionally, the subject of the verb was This Agreement: the sentence, boiled down, was This Agreement witnesseth [i.e., shows or records] that, whereas [the parties have agreed to contract with on another], the parties therefore agree as follows …. Many modern contracts erroneously retain the Witnesseth even though a new verb appears in the preamble11: This Agreement is between [one party and the other party]. After the preamble is a period, followed by an all-capped WITNESSETH. It is an example of a form retained long after its utility, and most lawyers do not know what it means or even what purpose it once served.

whereas, conj. 1. While by contrast; although <McWilliams was stopped at 10:08 p.m. wearing a green hat, whereas the assailant had been identified at 10:04 p.m. wearing a black hat>. 2. Given the fact that; since <Whereas, the parties have found that their 1994 agreement did not adequately address incidental expenses …; Now, Therefore, the parties agree to amend the 1994 agreement as follows ….>. ● In sense 2, whereas is used to introduce contractual recitals and the like, but modern drafters increasingly prefer a simple heading, such as “Recitals” or “Preamble”, and in that way avoid the legalistic whereas. – whereas (recital or preamble), n.

therefore, adv. 1. For that reason; on that ground or those grounds <a quorum12 was not present; therefore, no vote was taken>. 2. To that end <she wanted to become a tax lawyer, and she therefore applied for the university’s renowned LL.M program in tax>. –Also termed thereupon.

2.2 结束引导词in witness/testimony whereof, NOW THESE PRESENTS WITNESS;

witness, n. 1. One who sees, knows, or vouches for something <a witness to the accident>. 2. One who give testimony, under oath or affirmation (1) in person, (2) by oral or written deposition, or (3) by affidavit13 <the prosecution called its next witness>. – witness, v.

3 指示词

3.2 下述指示follows, as below, the following;

3.3 依据指示according to, under, subject to, in accordance with, as per, as provided in, pursuant to , in compliance with;

as per. In accordance with; PER(3). ● This phrase has traditionally been considered a barbarism, per being the preferred form in commercialese <per your request>. But even per can be improved on <as you requested>.

3.4 范畴指示in respect of, in respect thereof, with respect to, as regards, pertinent, relevant;

pertinent, adj. Pertaining16 to the issue at hand; relevant <pertinent testimony>.

3.5 主体指示in favor of, on behalf of;

3.7 重申指示say, to-wit
