elusty

合同签字的print和type到底是什么意思呢？
专门查了查词典：
7 X3 e, s( W$ Q2 `" q% S+ y
4 V% F& ^0 L, W; F$ _print: 即以正体（类似汉字所说的正楷）手写。
* r8 Q; `5 S! c2 b: V各词典解释和比较：
+ h  P3 Z& [$ O4 }SOED6：Write (letters) separately in the style of printed characters.
各字母独立地书写，方式如印刷字体。
+ g% \4 h& M# r) \COD：write (words or letters) without joining, in imitation of typography.
1 g* L7 u! m1 s) Y不连笔书写，如印刷字体一样。
  E- M- c" |& G0 YW3：
to form manually in unjoined characters resembling those of ordinary type.
4 ^; u' K" l  v, n. N% T手写，字母不连笔，类似普通印刷字体。这个解释的亮点是manually，说明用手，但是form这个词增加了理解难度。
# i+ R! Y9 M* m$ AWBD：
to write (something) in words or letters that are not connected by lines and look like printing type instead of writing with flowing strokes and the letters joined.
解释较长，后面的flowing stroke增加了理解难度。
Kernerman：
3 E  B( ~2 x6 A/ Lto write words without joining the letters (i.e. not in cursive)
书写，不连笔（即字与字之间不连在一起）
8 J+ ~- I. @$ z4 G" c* MCALD3:
( I1 z: S3 c7 P6 Z to write without joining the letters together.
简单明白
MED：to write by hand using individual letters that are not joined together.
! |0 T3 R+ e  U% m. ?点出了hand，各字母独立(individual),怕读者不清楚，又加了not joined together.

4 @$ G. k% Z: }0 G" I3 U$ {0 h综上所述，本人认为，print一字的解释MED胜出。另外几个词典用了write，须知它也有印刷或打印的意思。
请看：
3 }! R) W! E! PCALD：to make marks which represent letters, words or numbers on a surface, such as paper or a computer screen, using a pen, pencil or keyboard, or to use this method to record thoughts, facts or messages 计算机打字也可以用write(当然，这个有点儿矫情)。

type：
Write with a typewriter.
