B: Well, as a rule, the contract will become voidautomatically, if both sides do not agree to renew it when time comes.
A: I got it, but nevertheless, what I was saying just now was that how to terminate the contract before its term's up?
B: Oh, I am sorry I misunderstood. Well,in that case, the contract can be canceled with a 2 month's notice.What do you say?
A: That sounds perfect for us.

重点讲解:
1. terminate v.
终止,终结,结束,解除(合同、协议等)

例句:In that case, you should come back at once. 那样的话,你就应该立刻回来。
4. What do you say? 你说呢?你认为怎么样?
一般在表达自己的观点之后征求对方的意见时使用,是一种个比较客气的、委婉的征求对方意见的用语。
参考译文:
A: 我想知道我们有一方向终止合同,怎么办?
B: 通常,理论上,合同在期满而双方无意续约时自动取消。
A: 我明白,但是我刚才想问的是在期满之前,要怎么办?
B: 哦,很对不起我误解了你的意思,那样的话,要在两个月前通知才能终止。你说呢?
A: 好的,没问题。
