喜樂美語
  1. 1r/ˌhɪrˈbaɪ/ · /ˌhɪəˈbaɪ/特此；茲

    正式by this statement or writing — used when you officially do or say something in a formal paper or speech.

    「hereby」是正式／法律文件裡的「特此、茲」——說話的人用「這份文件／這句話本身」來完成一個正式動作。常見句型：I hereby agree…、I hereby declare…、notice is hereby given…。核心畫面可以想成「靠著這份文件／這句話」來正式做成一件事；平常聊天幾乎不用。跟 thereby 容易搞混：hereby 指「憑這份／這句（here＝這裡）」；thereby 指「因此／藉著那件事（there＝那邊）」。

Wiktionary

Picture a sentence that does not describe an action but performs it: the moment the words are said or signed, the thing is done. Hereby is the word that points at the document itself and says "by these very words" — which is why it lives almost entirely in contracts, notices, and ceremonies.

可以想成：一句話不是在描述一個動作，而是說出口的同時就把那個動作做完了——念完、簽完，事情就成立了。hereby 的作用就是指著這份文件本身說「就憑這幾個字」。也因為這樣，它幾乎只出現在合約、公告和典禮上，日常講話用不到它。
