标文件”（常说的“标书”）明确区分开来。国内出版物常有将之误译成“标书”者。而汉语中的“标书”实为投标人提交的对招标文件作出实质性反应的投标资料。 International Competitive Bidding： “国际竞争性投标”
Invitation For Bids： “投标邀请函”，不宜译为“招标邀请公告”或“招标通告” Force Account：自营工程，是指借款人因项目要求，先自行完成经批准的土木工程，然后再由贷款银行对该工程费用进行归垫。一般辞书很少出现。 Negotiating Bids：尽管国内出版物常将其译为“议标”，实质上不属于招投标范畴，因为此种采购不具备招投标活动的最基本特征。应按实定名，改译为“谈判采购”。我国招投标法中就将此种“议标”排除在招投标范围之外。
Joint Venture：并非常说的“合资企业”，而应该指多个投标人为了满足相应资格要求而暂时结成联营体，作为单一投标人参加投标和履行合同，合同履行完毕即解散，这种联合仅是暂时的，多个投标人所拥有的资产也不合并。因此译作“联营体”更为合适。
