(c) is for the benefit of the obligor, and does not prevent the assignee from acquiring rights against the assignor or the obligor from discharging his duty as i f there were no such prohibition.

The manifestation may be made to the other or to a third person on his behalf and, except as provided by statute or by contra ct, may be made either orally or by a writing.

(2) An order which directs the drawer to render a performance without reference to any duty of the draw is not of itself an assignment, even though the drawee is under a duty to the drawer to comply with the order and even though the order indicated a particular account to be debited or any other fund or source from which reimbursement is expected.
(1) 债权人对债务人而开立的书面单据经签署后交付给他人即为转让,该转让以付款人依据转让单证向出票人负有支付义务的存在为条件的,并且出票人作出意思表示除出票人之外的人仍然应为履行行为。
(2) 如果转让单证指定出票人作出与开立单证义务无关的履行行为,则该单证本身并不代表转让行为,尽管付款人依照该单证对出票人承担责任,并且尽管 该单证指出了将要记入贷方的特殊帐目或打算用于偿付的任何其他资金。
 
 §326.PARTIAL ASSINMENT部分转让
 
(1) Except as stated in Subsection (2), an assignment of a part of a right, whether the part is specified as a fraction, as an amount, or otherwise, is operative as to that part to the same extent and in the same manner as of the part ha d been a separate right.

(1) 除了(2)小节的规定外,不管是点、数还是其他形式的部分权利,在与独立权利相同的范围内,以与独立权利相同的方式对该部分权利的转让对该部分权利 而言是有效的。
(2) 如果债务人没有订立合同以单独履行被转让的部分权利,则法院不得支持转让人或受让人对提出反对意见的债务人提起的诉讼,除非所有对该履行行为 享有权利的人联合起来起诉,或者除非联合起诉并不可行,并且不提起联合诉 讼会导致不公平的结果。
 
§327. ACCEPTANCE OR DISCLAIMER BY THE ASSIGNEE

转让文字的解释;接受转让的法律后果
 
(1) Unless the language or the circumstances indicate the contrary, as in an a ssignment for security, an assignment of “the contract” or of “all my rights under the contract” or an assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of the assignor’s rights and a delegation of his unperformed duties under the contract.
(2) Unless the language or the circumstances indicate the contrary, the acceptance by an assignee operates as a promise to the assignor to perform the assignor’s unperformed duties, and the obligor of the assigned rights is an intend ed beneficiary of the promise.
(1) 除非合同语言或当时的情况表明了相反的意思,在为担保而进行转让的文书中,含有“合同的转让”或“合同项下我所有的权利”或使用类似通用术语 表达的转让书所转让的是转让人享有的合同权利,转托的是转让人未履行的合 同义务。
 (2) 除非合同语言或当时的情况表明了相反的意思,如果受让人接受了转让行为,则表明受让人向转让人允诺履行转让人未履行的义务,并且被转让权利的 义务人成为了该允诺的意向中的受益人。
 
§329. REPUDIATION BY ASSIGNOR AND NOVATION WITH ASSIGNEE
转让人的毁弃行为以及与受让人义务的更新
 
(1) The legal effect of a repudiation by an assignor of his duty to the obligor o f the assigned right is not limited by the fact that the assignee is a competent and has promised to perform the duty.
(2) If the obligor, with knowledge of such a repudiation, accepts any performance from the assignee without reserving his rights against the assignor, a novation arises by which the duty of the assignor is discharged and a similar duty of the assignee is substituted.
(1) 如果受让人有能力并且允诺履行转让人的义务,转让人仍然可以毁弃其对于被转让权利的义务人所承担的义务。
(2) 如果债务人明知毁弃事实存在,并且在没有保留其对转让人所享有的权利的情况下,接受了受让人的履行行为,则转让人的义务被解除,受让人的类似 义务被取代。

有关将来转让的合同或将来转让已经获得的收益
 
(1) A contract to make a future assignment of a right, or to transfer proceeds to be received in the future by the promisor, is not an assignment.
(2) Except as provided by statute, the effect of such a contract on the rights and duties of the obligor and third persons is determined by the rules relating t o specific performance of contracts.
(1) 如果合同约定在将来转让某个权利或约定转让允诺人在将来获得的收益, 则此合同并不属于转让合同。
