  • Very often constructions with participles are used in official documents. Participle I can be translated as:
  • an attributive clause;
  • an adverbial clause;
  • a separate sentence.
  • The Nominative Absolute construction with Participle I and II can be translated in different ways depending on the form of the Participle and on the position of the construction in the sentence:Nominative Absolute construction with Participle I is in postposition and plays the function of an adverbial modifier of attending circumstances..g.

    У зв'язку з невдачею першоСЧ конференцiСЧ було прийнято рiшення про проведення ще однiСФСЧ зустрiчi на рiвнi мiнiстрiв.

    The second element of the Nominative Absolute construction can be also expressed by an infinitive. It can be related to the future action..g. With the Congress still to be elected, the Republican leadership is already moving to team up with the Southern Democrats, as it did in the palmy days of the New Deal.

    Хоча вибори до Конгресу ще попереду, керiвництво РеспублiканськоСЧ партiСЧ вже вживаСФ заходiв щодо об'СФднання з демократами з Пiвдня, як це було пiд час розквiту Нового курсу.

    The order of words with the subject after the predicate is called inverted order or inversion. While translating the target sentence retains the word order of the source sentence in many cases:.g. Of special interest should be the first article in Chapter 1.

    Особливий iнтерес маСФ становити перша стаття у главi 1.

    e.g. Also treated are such matters as theory construction and methodology.

    Subordinate clauses of concession with an inverted predicate often serve emphatic purposes and can be translated with the help of Ukrainian combinations хоч; хоч який би.

    e.g. Such a principle, strange as it may seem, is championed in one form or another by certain scholars.

    Такий принцип, хоч вiн i може видатися досить дивним, вiдстоюють деякi вченi.

    Our main task was to describe and analyze the special difficulties one could face while translating official documents. We have also risen very important aspect of business translation - cross - cultural theory, paying attention to it translator might avoid some mistakes. Every business document is first of all mean of communication, especially business letters - the beginning of business relationships. That is why one should be very aware while writing or translating business correspondence. As for the translation of contract it requires not only knowledge of economic aspects but also the peculiarities of grammar constructions and lexics. 'I he translation of official business papers is characterized by the solving of certain tasks; first of all is search of adequate grammar and syntactic structures. Sometimes it is necessary to use word-for-word translation to make target text authentic to source text. Having analyzed the distinctive features of Ukrainian and English business correspondence we have come to the conclusion that even such bookish and conservative texts like documents have national specific character which should be regarded in translation. So that in this paper we tried to analyze not only linguistic but also national side of business translation. Contract also belongs to legal documents because it maintains juridical power. Thus, translating contract into foreign language it is necessary to know legal peculiarities of the country into language of which you are going to translate the contract because the differences in legal system of two contracting parties could be sufficient. From the linguistic point of view it reflects in various termins which in different countries have different meaning and inadequate translation of which leads to misunderstanding and other serious problems.
