问题: 语法

Both parties promised to adhere to the contract to be signed next week.
请分析一下 the contract to be signed
我翻译的时候写的是 the contract which will be signed
还有,这里的 parties 是"当事人"的意思吧?

解答:

the contract to be signed 的意思是“即将签署的合同”。这其实是“the contract (which is )to be signed”的省略形式,省掉了which is。

你翻译成the contract which will be signed 意思是对的,但不够地道,商务语言意味不如“the contract to be signed”。

parties的意思是“合同里的各方”,原文说的是“both parties”,所以意思是“双方”。
