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(yīng)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。
    參考譯文:
    A: 我想知道我們有一方向終止合同,怎么辦?
    B: 通常,理論上,合同在期滿而雙方無意續(xù)約時自動取消。
    A: 我明白,但是我剛才想問的是在期滿之前,要怎么辦?
    B: 哦,很對不起我誤解了你的意思,那樣的話,要在兩個月前通知才能終止。你說呢?
    A: 好的,沒問題。
