provided
that
释义:
但规定，规定；但是
用法:
常用于在合同的某一条款中需要作进一步规定时，或在作规定时语气上表示转折时。在中译英时，要注意该词组的使用。有时从中文上看，尽管没有“但规定”，“进一步规定”的词语，但英文写作时，应加上“provided
that”。参见例4，在中译英时，尽管中文中没有“但规定如果”，但根据上下文可看出在同一条款中包含了两个规定，后一句为对前一句的进一步规定，因此英文应加上“provided
that
if”。
例1
An
irrevocable
credit
shall
be
deemed
to
constitute
a

——Whatever

确实，不管你做什么，都不要放弃。
Indeed,whatever

坚持梦想，就算所有人都不支持你，这条路会很曲折，甚至以至于你会一度认为自己是不是选错了，但只要是坚持，就算最后没有成功，至少努力了，就不会有遗憾。我们怀揣梦想来到大城市，也许它不像我们想象中那么美好，也没有那么“善解人意”，但只要你相信，你爱它，有一天它终会回报你，回报你的梦想！
Adhere

if

people

road
will
be
very
tortuous,even

is

as
long
as
it

insisted,even
if
not
successful,at

try,there
will
be
no

We
have
a
dream

a
big
city,maybe
it

“understanding“,but
as

小兔子朱迪，在一群庞大动物群中寻求发展，努力的背后是自己的坚持。阴差阳错结识的狐尼卡，被小朱迪感化。在动物城，每一个动物都有无限的可能～在地球村，每一个独立的个体都有无限的可能！！

In

最欣赏小朱迪的一句话，我们唯一要害怕的就是害怕本身。的确，我们不是高富帅，我们不是白富美，没有傲气的身价。但是我们不能退缩，害怕来临时，唯一可以打败的不是逃避，而是向害怕招手，不做，你怎么知道你不可以呢？
The
one
thing
we
admire
most
about
little
Judi
is
that
the
only
thing
we
have
to
fear
is
fear
itself.
Indeed,we
are
not
rich
handsome,we
are
not
white
Formica,without
arrogance
worth.
But
we
can
t
shrink.
When
fear
comes,the
only
thing
that
can
be
defeated
is
not
to
escape,but
to
beckon
with
fear,not
to
do
it.
