2.should such negotiations fai丨是虛擬語氣條件句的倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)，譯為“如果......”。
3.such disputes may be referred to按照中文習(xí)慣，可以調(diào)整邏輯主語的位置，將“disputes”放到賓語的位置，譯為“可將爭議提交”。

【賞析】
1.required or permitted和set forth above為過去分詞作后置定語，翻譯時(shí)前置。
2.shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient使用兩個(gè) shall，語氣正式不容置疑，翻譯的時(shí)候也應(yīng)采用相同的語氣。
3.“such...as”譯為“像……一樣的……”，as后面的that引導(dǎo)介詞賓語從句，譯為“該方書面指定的其他地址”。
