Terminate a contract 合同终止

A: Actually, I was wondering what we should do if either one of us would like to terminate the contract?

B: Well, as a rule, the contract will become void automatically, if both sides do not agree to renew it when time comes.

A: I got it, but nevertheless, what I was saying just now was that how to terminate the contract before its term's up?

B: Oh, I am sorry I misunderstood. Well, in that case, the contract can be canceled with a 2 month's notice. What do you say?

A: That sounds perfect for us.

重点讲解：

1. terminate v.

终止，终结，结束，解除（合同、协议等）

2. automatically adv.

自动地，自动化地

3. in that case 在那样的情况下，如果那样的话

例句：In that case, you should come back at once. 那样的话，你就应该立刻回来。

4. What do you say? 你说呢？你认为怎么样？

一般在表达自己的观点之后征求对方的意见时使用，是一种个比较客气的、委婉的征求对方意见的用语。

参考译文：

A: 我想知道我们有一方向终止合同，怎么办？

B: 通常，理论上，合同在期满而双方无意续约时自动取消。

A: 我明白，但是我刚才想问的是在期满之前，要怎么办？

B: 哦，很对不起我误解了你的意思，那样的话，要在两个月前通知才能终止。你说呢？

A: 好的，没问题。
