  HouYan Hui(2010) point out that, The international trade of abbreviations in English translation strategies. Although the abbreviation surface is simple, but rich in content, simple form and complex content contradiction in translation. Due to its semantic value is fixed, the translation of the English abbreviations do meaning equivalence is easy, but the English acronym itself does not have a literal meaning, in the form of do equivalence is more difficult. So, from the Italian Ze method, transliteration, translation or free translation, extended translation, zero translation, transliteration and free translation with six English abbreviation translation method is emphatically discussed. 

Shi Wen Shi described The terms of the trade contract are strict and formal, detailed and accurate, and every clause is made for a specific content, especially to the product price, payment, product specification and quantity, delivery date, etc..So the acronym itself is has a clear meaning of vocabulary in the text of the contract, due to this in order to achieve the communicative purpose, the translator must make the source text and the target text coherence, completely and accurately express the meaning of the word represented by, and not subjective speculation.

Chen Jian Ping(2006)thinks the English abbreviations form different such as truncated word (clipped word), first letter abbreviations (initialing), first letter of Pinyin word (acronym) and portmanteau words (blend), and so on. Abbreviations appear in the English trade contract in high frequency, but mainly led by acronyms and truncated words. The price, payment and insurance contract in international trade is in the form of acronyms.

In addition, economic and trade contracts in some units of measurement and Related words is usually in the form of truncated words appear, such as CTN carton or container), PC (piece), no (number), V (vessel), m (meter), cm (centimeter), max (maximum), kg (kilogram), t (ton), etc..

To accurately translated such abbreviations, the key lies in the usual accumulation, and are familiar with the full name of the acronym, understand its meaning, it is also drafting, translation business contract should have the basic conditions.

Ma Qun(2009) state the Abbreviations (mainly led by acronyms, clipped words) with its norms, concise, time-saving features and is widely used in business contracts: price, payment and insurance, currency, a measuring scale, common important institutions or organizations, companies, and countries etc., mostly in the thumbnail morphological type. For example, t / T (Telegraphic transfer telegraphic transfer), FOB (free onBoard on board the ship delivered), wa (with average WPA), a/r (all risks insurance), atherosclerosis (after sight sight), ACN air consignment air consignment note), ICC (International Chamber of Commerce International Chamber of Commerce). Interpretation of these terms in the international practice, so the meaning of a single, accurate, applicable to the business contract, this particular style. Therefore, familiar with the acronym name, understand its meaning, has become the drafting and translation of business contract should have the basic conditions.

Guo Jing Lu(2012) said that In English business contracts, abbreviations appear relatively high frequency. These abbreviations are usually composed of the first letter of a few words, the significance of a single fixed, is typically used to occasions of international trade. Advantage of using abbreviations is, often a simple abbreviations will be able to trade in the process of the requirements clear, greatly improves the work efficiency. The acronym generally according to the International Chamber of Commerce "Incoterms 2000" explanation.

Due to the characteristics of their own needs and social abbreviations, it will show its growing vitality. The application of a large number of abbreviations in English for international trade, the abbreviations learning is particularly important.
