apart from information already publicly available other than due to a violation of this agreement Explanation: 除了非由于对本协议书的任何违反而已经 公开可得的信息之外,任何一方对于另一方向其披露的与执行本协议书有关的一切信息都应严格保密 Approx translation: either side must keep all information disclosed by the other side relating to the execution of this agreement strictly confidential, apart from information already publicly available other than due to a violation of this agreement 非由于: literally means "not owing to". ie information publicly available, but not disclosed in violation of this agreement. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2007-05-26 18:41:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I wrote "due to" in the suggested translation, as this is considered more and more acceptable (see Bartleby.com where a guide to US English style discusses this question). In conservative English it should be "owing to". Or just as I wrote in the para immediately above this note it could be "in" violation, thus avoiding the due to/owing to problem altogether. I just wanted you to get this note because of the controversy over the use of "due to" in certain circumstances. |
