Comment: "经过进一步研究，发现此处是指未婚夫于婚前立下“财产转让契约”，以便在适当时候将财产转移给妻子。下面还有一对等的条款是由未婚妻立同样的契约，以便在适当时候将财产转移给丈夫。GuangLong的回答最接近原意，所以我选择他的答案。谢谢！同时也要感谢Julia和Wherestip！

“It is usually made on the prospect of marriage for the benefit of the married pair, or one of them, or for the benefit of some other persons, as their children. Such settlements vest the property in trustees upon specified terms, usually for the benefit of the husband and wife during their joint lives, and then for the benefit of the survivor for life, and afterwards for the benefit of children.”
