    【例題9.1】翻譯海運(yùn)提單 [2006年真題]
    解析：Marine bill of lading。提單是用以證明海上貨物運(yùn)輸合同和貨物已由承運(yùn)人接收或裝船，以及承運(yùn)人保證據(jù)以交付貨物的單證。
    2．課文：Definitions of the Bill of Lading vary from country to country. Broadly, the bill of lading has been defined as receipt for goods shipped on board a ship, signed by the person （or his agent） contracts to carry them, and stating the terms on which the goods were delivered to and received by the ship.（海運(yùn)提單的定義）

    vary from：不同
    broadly：寬廣地，廣泛，總體而言
    on board：在船上
    state：陳述，申明
    譯文：每個(gè)國(guó)家對(duì)于提單的定義各有不同。總體而言，提單是貨物裝船的收據(jù)；它由達(dá)成貨物運(yùn)輸協(xié)議的承運(yùn)人簽字，上面記載貨物裝到船上及被船方接收的條款。
    注：我國(guó)《海商法》對(duì)提單的定義：提單，是指用以證明海上貨物運(yùn)輸合同和貨物已經(jīng)由承運(yùn)人接收或者裝船，以及承運(yùn)人保證據(jù)以交付貨物的單證。提單中載明的向記名人交付貨物，或者按照指示人的指示交付貨物，或者向提單持有人交付貨物的條款，構(gòu)成承運(yùn)人據(jù)以交付貨物的保證。
    3．課文：It is not the actual contract, but forms excellent evidence of the terms of the contract.
    注釋?zhuān)?BR>    actual：實(shí)際的，真實(shí)的
    excellent：極好的，卓越的
    evidence：證據(jù)，憑證
    譯文：提單本身不是運(yùn)輸合同，而是對(duì)運(yùn)輸合同條款的充分證明。
