详细讲解


仲裁是指争议双方当事人将其争议提交给中立的第三方（即仲裁员arbitrator）来审理并做出裁决的争议解决方法。 首先，如果想要表达“提交仲裁”，我们可以用submit for arbitration来表示。其他如arbitration agreement（仲裁协议）；umpire（首席仲裁员）；award（仲裁裁决）；arbitrator（仲裁员）；arbitration association（仲裁协会）；arbitration clause（仲裁条款）；arbitration board（仲裁庭）这些术语表达也十分重要。下面，我们通过几则实例，来更好地了解一下这个词。


例1：Any dispute arising from or in connection with the Contract shall be settled through friendly negotiation. In case no settlement is reached, the dispute shall be submitted to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC),Shenzhen Commission, for arbitration in accordance with its rules in effect at the time of applying for arbitration. The arbitral award is final and binding upon both parties.


【参考译文】凡因本合同引起的或与本合同有关的任何争议应协商解决。若协商不成应提交中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会深圳分会，按照申请时该会当时施行的仲裁规则进行仲裁。仲裁裁决是终局的，对双方均有约束力。


例2： Arbitration expenses shall be borne by the losing party.


【参考译文】诉讼费用由败诉方承担。


例3： Where no settlement can be reached the disputes shall he submitted for arbitration. If the Sellers are the plaintiff，the arbitration shall take place in Stockholm.


【参考译文】争议协商不成的，应提交仲裁。如果卖方为原告，仲裁应在斯德哥尔摩进行。


[短评] 这里面，读者要尤其注意award在这里并非“奖励”，而是“仲裁裁决”。此外，首席仲裁员除了可以翻译为umpire外，有时也称为umpirage。
