Agreement of Responsibility


Explanation:
“Agreement of Responsibility” 网上很多见。应为是双方签署的,Agreement 远比 letter准确。

Liability有具体的法律含义,对于这种文件来说,Liability有点过。 Document of Responsibility.就等于说Responsibility,Document没有具体含义,Document of Responsibility就同于Responsibility。

要说英文的对应词,其实这种文件更像一份MOU。

既然这个单位签字了,就形成了agreement,是否为主管部门强制签署的,已经不那么重要了。

Asker: 但是agreement好像是双方共同达成,责任书则感觉是主管部门强制签署的

Asker: MOU一般有双方责任,但是责任书则只规定单方的责任

责任书实际上是责任方用于声明自身责任义务的承诺书。

Liability agreement


Explanation:
从内容目录来看,这文件主要涉及到发生不幸之后,责任追究和责任分配的问题,这时候英文要用 liability 而非 responsibility。

全称:Liability agreement for the safe operation and maintenance of hazardous equipment

简称: Laibility agreement

另外,Gareth 提出的 letter of undertaking 也是很常见的笼统说法,译者用这个策略可以避免拘泥于具体内容的问题。
