★★★★★ Very Common
Neutral
意味: To formally agree to a contract by writing your signature on it
签署合同
firmar un contrato
契約を結ぶ
계약서에 서명하다
We say 'sign a contract' not 'write a contract' (which means to create one). The verb 'sign' is the natural collocation for formally agreeing to legal or business documents.
我们说'sign a contract'而不是'write a contract'（那是指起草合同）。动词'sign'是正式同意法律或商业文件的自然搭配。
Decimos 'sign a contract' y no 'write a contract' (que significa redactarlo). El verbo 'sign' es la colocación natural para aceptar formalmente documentos legales o comerciales.
「sign a contract」と言い、「write a contract」（作成するという意味）とは区別します。動詞「sign」は法的・商業的な書類に正式に同意する際に自然に使われます。
'write a contract'(이것은 계약서를 작성한다는 뜻)가 아니라 'sign a contract'라고 합니다. 'sign'은 법적 또는 비즈니스 문서에 공식적으로 동의할 때 자연스럽게 어울리는 동사입니다.
例文
- Both parties signed the contract yesterday. 双方昨天签署了合同。Ambas partes firmaron el contrato ayer.両当事者は昨日契約書に署名しました。양 당사자가 어제 계약서에 서명했습니다.
- Make sure you read everything before you sign the contract. 签合同之前一定要把所有内容都看清楚。Asegúrate de leerlo todo antes de firmar el contrato.契約書に署名する前に必ず全て読んでください。계약서에 서명하기 전에 반드시 모든 내용을 읽으세요.
- They signed a contract for three years. 他们签了一份三年期的合同。Firmaron un contrato de tres años.彼らは3年間の契約を結びました。그들은 3년 계약을 체결했습니다.
