几种保函
保函的格式的内容、用途和格式不都一样，外国的和中国的在行文格式上也有所差别。这里选出几种供读者参考。
范例之一
偿还贷款保函 致：
不可撤消保函号码
鉴于你方向借款人提供了一笔贷款，我行特此为借款人出具本保函并保证如下：
1．我行在此无条件地不可撤消地保证，借款人在贷款到期或发生加速还款或其他情况下，按时偿还贷款协议(包括经我行书面同意的对该协议的修改和补充)项下现时或将来的到期款项。保证金额最高不超过_____ 美元(即贷款本金加利息的110％)。如果借款人到期不能归还该等款项，我行将凭你方书面索赔立即偿还。除非有明显的错误，由你方授权官员签发的载明该等应还款细节及到期日的任何声明应是终局的并对我行具有约束力。
2．本保函自开立之日起生效，直至_____(贷款协议到期后6个月)失效。随着贷款协议项下本金的每一期偿还，我行的担保责任亦应相应递减。我行在本保函项下的担保责任将不受下列事件的影响：对借款人给予延期还款等优惠；或贷款人不行使对借款人享有的权利；或由于本款规定可能影响我行在本保函项下责任的其他原因或情况，但前提是对该贷款协议的任何修改或补充须经我行事前书面确认，我行亦保证不会不合理地耽搁或拖延此种确认。对本保函项下的索赔可随时进行，贷款人在向我行索赔前，无须采取任何措施以实现其对借款人或其继承人的权利。
3．本保函项下索赔款的支付不得包括任何抵消、反索赔、限制以及豁免于任何现有或将来的税收或其他扣减或任何性质的预留。如果在索赔款的支付中必须包含任何扣减或预留，我行除索赔款金额外，还将支付该等必要的附加费用，从而确保贷款人得到应收回的足额还款。
4．我行在此确认已获得对本保函或与本保函有关的所有法人同意，认可以及相应政府部门或其他有关当局的批准，该等批准是充分有效的。本保函的条款构成我行合法、有效并具有约束力的责任，我行在本保函项下的责任将在任何时刻至少与我行其他未担保以及非从属债务处于同等地位，我行保证为此目的的全部必要授权一直是充分的、有效的。
5．贷款人在本保函项下疏于或怠于行使任何权利或补救措施等，均不应视为对该等权利的放弃；任何单项或部分行使上述权利也不能排除贷款人进一步采取行动或行使其他权利或补救措施的权利。如果在任何时候本保函的任何条款已是或变为非法、无效或在任何方面不可执行，本保函其他条款的合法性、有效性及可执行性均不应受到影响或相应降低。
6．我行将偿付贷款人因行使其在本保函项下权利而发生的全部合理费用(包括律师费用)。7．我行将对本保函项下的任何迟付金额按借款人应用的利率水平支付利息，该付息期间的计算从你方索偿之日起，直至实际付款日止(在判决前或判决后)。
8．未经我行事前书面同意，本保函项下的权益不可以转让，我行亦确认不会不合理地拖延该等同意。
9．本保函应确保贷款人和其相应后继者的权益。不论我行或我行相应后继者的组织和机构有任何变化，在保函项下的义务对我行及我行后继者持续具有约束力。在不违反上述第8条的情况下，贷款人可以将其在本保函项下或由于本保函、贷款协议及其他担保契约(根据贷款协议的定义)而派生的权利或权益全部或部分地转让给任何他人。
10．我行在此确认本保函的签定和执行是一种商业行为，并同意放弃采取与本保函有关的任何法律行为或程序的豁免权。
11．本保函受中华人民共和国法律管辖并按其法律解释，我行将不可撤消地接受中华人民共和国法院的司法管辖。

对译文的评述：
译文中括弧内带阴影部分是原有译文，读者可以比较并发现 其错误所在：
1．应为“按时偿还”。2．应为“应偿还”。
3．应指“贷款协议的日后修改和补充”，而不是“随时修改或补充的贷款协议”。4．应为“偿还”。
5．应用定语从句，同时用过去分词(被动)和现在分词(主动)短语作定语有点别扭。
6．应改用„„变得”，或者将后面的On改成as from／as of／from。原文意为“仅在签约当日有效”。
7．这里指„„失效日”，due date指约定，预定，应支付的日期。8．应用to，原文搭配不当。
9．undertake 1)承担，后跟名词或不定式动词宾语。2)保证，后跟从句。“保证不做”改译成从句。
10．not to withhold or delay不能做undertake的宾语。11．any调到setoff之前修饰四个名词。12．免除税款。
13．指必须包含在内。
14．together with…应紧接其修饰对象金额之后。15．指索赔款。
16．不能说ensure sb．do sth．，后应接从句或名词。17．与别处单数不一致。
18．生造词，应为insubordinate。19．确认。
20．多余，应去掉。21．去掉fees and。22．律师费。
23．利率不能被支付，只能被采用，可改用applicable。24．改用assure sb．of sth． 25．同17条。
26．英语中可用人称代词，故译成他或他们的权益。27．同17条。
28．subject…调句首更接近主语。29．答定。

鉴于根据ABC(卖方)和XYZ(买方)于×年×月×日签订的第×××号造船合同及其×年×月×日合同修改(附件)卖方同意为买方建造一艘×××吨位的单桨柴油发动机集装箱轮船，该船名称为××号，地点广州造船厂，其条款和条件见合同，鉴于根据造船合同第×条第1段规定，卖方同意获取一份银行按照造船合同上的条款和条件向买方出具的担保函，为此现在，我们，下面签署人××银行，凭相应的对价并应卖方的要求，特此不可撤消地保证：
1．如果发生这样的情况，即：卖方变得有义务支付该轮船、其船体、机械和部件、设备维修和/或更换任何劣质部件(担保项目)的有关费用，而这些项目正是卖方根据造船合同第×条规定所保证的项目，2．如果发生卖方未能按照本保函的条款支付上述费用的情况，则我们应在收到你方书面索赔后×工作日之内向你方支付这样的一笔或数笔等额款项，但该书面索赔应附带下列材料： A．(1)买方致卖方信件的副本，该信件通知了卖方买方已经索赔的劣质项目，同时说明其性质以及由此造成的损害程度，并附带：
a．卖方确认根据保函规定对劣质项目应加以补救的信件；
b．买方出具的证明，申明在上述通知后×日内没有得到卖方的回应；和
(2)买方致卖方信件的副本，该信件告诉卖方将要修理或已经修理某一项或数项的时间和地点；和
(3)下列二者之一
a．有关造船厂、制造商或供货人出具的一张或数张原始发票(一式两份)并经船厂质量保证工程师签署(按造船合同规定)或
b．有关造船厂、制造商或供货人出具的一张或数张原始发票(一式两份)，连同经信誉良好的损坏评级机构鉴定员签署的证明书。
B．根据造船合同第×条和保函规定所指定的仲裁或仲裁委员会出具的以买方为受益人的仲裁书公证副本。
3．本保函项下我们承担的义务总值无论如何不应超过×××美元(大写×××)，并且该金额应随着卖方和/或我们按照本保函的条款和条件不时支付给买方的金额自动递减。4．就本保函而言，根据本保函第2项提出的索赔并附带所规定的单据，对于卖方向买方支付上述第1项所指的费用的义务应当是最后的(结论性的)，只要不是在索赔函附带有按上述第2项B点要求的仲裁裁决书或上述A(1)点要求的卖方的信函的情况下，我们在收到该索赔后×工作日之内并未得到卖方关于此种义务存在争议的信函或电传通知。

担保人：_____
译文注释：
1．英语中商务合同、协议、保函等常采用“WHEREAS…。NOW THEREFORE(鉴于……，因此现在)”这样的文件格式，但汉语中则习惯用“为了……，双方”格式。
2．第1项开头(in the event that…)出现情况的定语很长，无法按原文顺序直译出来，就必须将其切短，翻译成同位语从句，用“即”字连接。第2项的定语较短，按原文直译成“如果发生卖方未能按照本保函的条款支付上述费用的情况”。
3．第4项中provided(以……为条件，假如)连词，通常都放在主句后面，其同义词providing则通常放在句首。本文中它所连接的是一个很长而复杂的复合句子作为前面主句的条件从句，如果译成“以……为条件”或“假如……”放在主句后面，不符合汉语习惯。这里译成“只要……”，也可改为“条件是……”。
4．IN WITNESS WHEREOF在那里作为证人。西方在协议、合同等文本结尾一段开头习惯用这一格式化套语，即“在那里作为证人签署”。通常译作“以资证明”。

担保人：(签字、盖章)译文注释：
1．bond多义词，和金融相关的有：契约、公债、债券、(付款)保证书、保证人、证券纸等。因此履约保函习惯叫PERFORMANCE BOND，译成GUARANTEE FOR PERFORMANCE OF CONTRACT未尝不可，但显太长。2．第(1)条开头的On the Seller's failure to…即On the condition that．in the event that在……条件下，如果出现……，在……的时候。3．第(2)条中hereunder副词(在下面)，类似的副词还有hereby，herein，hereon，hereto，herefrom，heretofore，hereunder，herewith，hereupon，hereinafter，hereinabove，hereinbelow．hereinto和副词there构成的thereby，therefor，therefrom，therein，thereof，thereunder，thereupon，thereafter，therein。therewith，thereto，thereabout，thereupon，therewith等。这些合成副词在法律、法规、协议、合同等中使用最频繁，翻译成中文时，通常都要把所省略的东西补充出来。如Please refer to the enclosures herein。请参阅本文(这里)的附件。因此A payment hereunder(=The payment which is under this Guarantee)译成“在本保函项下的付款”，而不是“在这下面的付款”。4．第(4)条中valid and in full force and effect。这里可改为valid and effective。法律文件中使用多个同义或近义词表达同一个意思的情况比比皆是，使其非常严谨，无懈可击，无漏洞可钻。有的是固定词组，翻译成汉语时，一般都无法照样重复。如null and void无效，等于零，无用的，作废的。授权书中常出现to do and execute the following acts and matters(执行下列事项)，to manage and control all matters in respect Of…(管理和……有关的事项)。范例之五

1．第2段中his。英语中常常碰到不知性别的人，如果需要使用物主代词所有格，通常可用男性的his。本文的贷款人既可是法人，也可是自然人。如果确知是自然人，但并不知其性别，这时通常同时使用his／her。指法人时习惯用his或their，如合同当事人任何一方及其继承人，受让人：Either party to a contract and his／their successor(s)，assignee(s)．但汉语在指人以外的事物时习惯用“该、其”等指示词并重复原有名词，如该厂、其机器设备，而很少用代词“它的，它们的”。
2．第4段中become effective on the date。表达何时生效还有几个固定词组：come into force，come／go into effect，take effect，enter into force。put in／into force，bring into force等，有人用make force，take force，make effect是不对的。范例之六

译文注释：
1．本合同中有些术语容易搞错，如抵押人(出押者)、抵押权人(接受抵押者)、按揭是港澳台地区对楼寓等物业抵押贷款的俗称，楼寓即个人住宅，楼寓按揭贷款，即住房抵押贷款。楼花相对于现楼。楼花指尚未完工的住宅楼。开发商为了筹集资金，甚至提前出售图纸，如同有的单位分房分图纸一样，翻译比较困难，只好意译成“building under construction”(在建楼)或“uncompleted／incomplete building”(未竣工楼)。现楼指已竣工并可以人住的楼房。2．共同签定：译为mutually agreed and entered into a contract作插人语。
4．第二段末原文省略“两种”二字，但译作Housing loan(secured)may be one 0f the two types。5．末尾倒数第二段中抵押权人同意接受的是两点：一是抵押人以所获权益作抵押从而获得贷款，二是担保人所承担的担保责任。因此译文用：MORTGAGEE agrees to accept…，and…前一个宾语接一个复杂的定语从旬。房地产开发商通常译为property developer.
