商貿文書中常見翻譯錯誤續
在一些由中文翻譯的英語樣本、合同、廣告和其他文件材料中常見一些翻譯錯誤，現僅舉幾個出現頻率較高的例子，試作分析，謹供讀者朋友參考。
5. 歡迎您參觀我們交易會
原譯文：Welcome you to visit our fair!
注：譯文中welcome是動詞，因此此句是祈使句形式，省略的主語為第二人稱你（你們），而不是中文所含的我（我們）之意。應譯為：
We welcome you to visit our trade fair!
更簡潔地道的譯法是：Welcome to our trade fair!
6. 我公司出口工業產品、化工產品、醫藥等。
原譯文：Our company exports industrial products, chemicals, medicines and etc.
注：etc.等于and so on或and others，已含有and的成分，上述譯文無需加上and一詞。應譯為：Our company exports industrial products, chemicals, medicines, etc.
7. 我們將委托貴公司作為我公司在毛里求斯的業務代理。
原譯文：We hereby entrust your company to be our business agent in Mauritius.
注：entrust一詞在作委托解時用法為entrust somebody with something or entrust something to somebody.應譯為：
We hereby appoint your company to be our business agent in Mauritius.
8. 本合同簽訂之后，簽約雙方中任何一方不得將合同內容泄露給第三方。
原譯文：Any of the two parties can not divulge the contents of the contract to a third party after the conclusion of the contract.
注：雙方中任何一方為either of the two parties，三方（或三方以上）中任何一方才用any of the parties，因本句為否定句，應譯為：Neither of the two parties can divulge the contents of the contract to a third party after the conclusion of the contract.
9. 在雙方簽約之后，各方應嚴格遵守本協議。
原譯文：After this agreement is signed by the two parties, all parties shall strictly abide by it.
注：與上一條相類似，在協議當事方為三方（或三方以上）時，各方為all parties，而當事方為兩方時應用both parties.應譯為：
After this agreement is signed by the two parties, both parties shall strictly abide by it.
