申請(qǐng)人（即投標(biāo)人)盡管中標(biāo)，但完全出于其自身的多種原因不與受益人簽定合同，結(jié)果相應(yīng)的投標(biāo)保證書只好被受益人收回，在這種情況下，上述金額應(yīng)當(dāng)通過你們的銀行支付給受益人。

譯文注釋：
1.BID BOND投標(biāo)保證金，押標(biāo)保證，押標(biāo)保證金。本文指投標(biāo)契約，即投標(biāo)保證書。
2.In favor of, (f/o )以某某為受益人。金融業(yè)務(wù)中使用頻繁，f/o可譯作“受益人”。類似的縮寫如c/o由某人轉(zhuǎn)交，AD, a/d (after date)出票日后，發(fā)票后，期后，AS，a/s (after sight)見票后。
3.Subject to,這里Subject是副詞，須和to連用，意為“在……條件下”，或者譯為“條件是”等，本文譯作“只要符合……條件”比較恰當(dāng)。
4.Accountee原意指開證（信用證）申請(qǐng)人，被記帳人（匯兌）。這里指前面的申請(qǐng)人(applicant) 。
5.Be attributed to把……歸因于，把……歸咎于。根據(jù)上下文，這里譯作“出于……原因”。比較：Be attributable to，可以歸因
于……前者語氣肯定，后者不肯定，使用時(shí)，應(yīng)注意二者的區(qū)別。Fail不及物、及物動(dòng)詞。本文為及物動(dòng)詞，指舍棄，放棄。
