美国公证词认证书怎么翻译？

美国的公证文件属于法律文书翻译，里面有不少用词及期用法比较难以理解，例如 to  administer oaths、and that full faith and credit may and ought to be given to said Clerk’s official acts等等。下面我们就引述美国纽约州的公证书做为翻译示例，供大家参考下：

United States of America

State of New York

Department of State

美利坚合众国

纽约州

州政府

It is hereby certified, that XXX was Clerk of the County of New York in the State of New York, and Clerk of the Supreme Court therein, being a Court of Record, on the day of the date of the annexed certificate, and duly authorized to grant same; that the seal affixed to said certificate is the seal of said County and Court; that the attestation thereof of said Clerk is in due form and executed by the proper officer; and that full faith and credit may and ought to be given to said Clerk’s official acts.

兹证明，XXX，于所附证明所载日期当日，系纽约州纽约郡职员以及纽约州审判法庭（属记录法庭）职员，且其拥有出具该证明之适当授权；该证明中所盖印章系上述郡和法庭之印章；该职员所作证明形式适当并经合适的官员签署；该职员之职务行为是完全可信和诚信的。

In Testimony Whereof, the Department of the State seal is hereunto affixed.
