terminate a contract 合同終止
a: actually, i was wondering what we should do if either one of us would like to terminate the contract?
b: well, as a rule, the contract will become void automatically, if both sides do not agree to renew it when time comes.
a: i got it, but nevertheless, what i was saying just now was that how to terminate the contract before its term's up?
b: oh, i am sorry i misunderstood. well, in that case, the contract can be canceled with a 2 month's notice. what do you say?
a: that sounds perfect for us.
重點講解:
1. terminate v.
終止,終結(jié),結(jié)束,解除(合同、協(xié)議等)
2. automatically adv.
自動地,自動化地
3. in that case 在那樣的情況下,如果那樣的話
例句:in that case, you should come back at once. 那樣的話,你就應該立刻回來。
4. what do you say? 你說呢?你認為怎么樣?
一般在表達自己的觀點之后征求對方的意見時使用,是一種個比較客氣的、委婉的征求對方意見的用語。
