　　Steven H. Gifts編著的“Law Dictionary”中將contract 定義為“contract is a promise， or a set of promises， for breach of which the law gives remedy， or the performance of the which the law in some way recognize as a duty.”根據(jù)這一定義，合同是一種承諾，違反承諾可以得到法律救助，某種意義上法律將履行該承諾看做是一種補償。

　　L.B Curzon 在其編撰的字典“A Dictionary of Law”給contract的定義：“Contract is a legally binding agreement”根據(jù)這一定義，合同就是有法律約束力的協(xié)議。

　　綜合起來，有一個相同點，就是“Contract is an agreement”，即可將合同說成是“An agreement which binds the parties concerned”或者說合同說成是“An agreement which is enforceable by law”， 也可以說：Contracts are promises that the law will enforce.

　　何謂“Agreement”？

　　L.B “A consensus of mind， or evidence of such consensus， in spoke or written form， relating to anything done or to be done.”

　　根據(jù)這一定義，協(xié)議是對已經(jīng)做或準備做的相關事宜，經(jīng)過談判、協(xié)商后取得一致意見，以口頭或書面形式做出的約定，

　　Black "Law Dictionary"有兩個定義。一個是：“A concord of understanding and intention between two or more parties with respect to the effect upon their relative rights and duties， of certain past or future facts or performance”根據(jù)這一定義，協(xié)議即雙方或多方京某些過去或將來某些事實的相關權利、義務或相關權利、義務的履行而達成的一致理解和愿望。

　　另一個是：“The consent of two or more persons concurring respecting the transmission of some property， right or benefits， with the view of contacting an obligation， a mutual obligation.”根據(jù)這一定義，協(xié)議即兩個或多個當事人，為了約定單方責任或相互責任，就財產權利、利益的轉移取得的一致同意。
