具体用法如下：

以here为词根的旧体词

Here的意思是“这里”、“此处”，因此以“here”为词根的旧体词大部分的意思是“此……”、“这……”、“本……”等意思。

1.hereafter，hereinafter，hereunder

这三个词的含义和用法基本一致，翻译为“自此以后”、“此后下文中”、“以下”。Hereinafter更为正规、语气更重。

例句1: This contract is made on the 15th July, 2003 by ABC Corporation(hereinafter referred to as the Sellers )who agrees to sell and XYZ Corporation(hereinafter referred to as the"), who agrees to buy the following goods on the terms and conditions as below

例句2: Each payment to be made hereunder shall be made in American urgency.

翻译:以下规定的每项款额要用美元支付。

2.Herein，hereof，herewith

这三个词的含义和用法基本一致，翻译为“在……中”，但herein是“in this……”（在……之中），一般修饰动词；hereof是“of this……”（……中的），一般修饰名词；herewith是“with this……”（与……一道），一般也修饰名词。

例句1: The Sellers reserve the right to cancel this contract at any time if they cannot make the delivery as called for under the terms hereof by reason of circumstances beyond their control

翻译:如果卖方在本合同中规定的其自身无法控制的情况下不能交货时,卖方保留随时撤销

合同的权利。

此处 the terms hereof意思是" the terms of this contract"。

3.Hereby，hereto

Hereby 意思是“by this……”（据此、特此），hereto意思是“related to this……”（与此……有关）。

例句: As A desires to export to B the goods specified herein and B desires to import the goods from A, A and B hereby agree as follows:

翻译:整于甲方販向乙方出口本合同中所规定的物品,且乙方愿意从甲方进口上述货物,据此,甲方和乙方特意订立下列条款

Hereto最常见的就是the parties hereto agree as follows 意思是“合同双方达成一致意见如下”。

以there为词根的旧体词

There 的意思是“那里”、“那个方面”，因此，以there为此跟的旧体词在汉译的时候都有“那……”、“该……”、“其……”的意思。

1.Thereof

例句: All disputes, controversies or differences out of or in relation to this agreement, or to the execution thereof shall be settled through friendly consultation

2.Therein

例句: If after the contract made by and between the parties becomes effective there is no agreement therein on the terms and provisions regarding quality price or remuneration and place of performance, etc, or such agreement is unclear, the parties may, through consultation, agree upon supplementary terms and provisions

确的,可以协定补充

3.Therefrom

例句: If the safekeeping duration expires or the depositor claims and retrieves the article before the expiry date, the safekeeping party shall return to the depositor the original article and the interest generated therefrom

翻译:保管期屆满或者寄存人提前领取保管物的,保管人应当将原物及其孳息归还寄存人。

the interest generated therefrom意思是the interest generated from the original article"使用了 therefrom,句子变得简洁、专业

4.Thereafter

Thereafter强调的是“自.情况发生之日起15日内“,即“从那以后"的含义。
