您好，請找威爾遜先生。
Thank you. It’s very kind of you to come and meet me at the airport, Miss Wang.
謝謝，王小姐。您特地到機場來接我，真是太客氣了。
It’s my pleasure. I hope you’ve had an enjoyable trip.
樂意效勞。一路上很好吧！
Yes, thank you.
很好，謝謝。
I’m glad to hear that. Is this your first trip to China, Mr.Wilson?
很高興您這么說。威爾遜先生，您是初次來中國嗎？
Yes, the very first.
是的，的確是第一次。
Excuse me, are you Mr.Wilson from the United States?
請問，您是從美國來的威爾遜先生嗎？
Yes I am.
是的，我是。
I’m Wang Lan, the secretary of the Qingdao Textiles Import & Export Corporation.
我叫王嵐，青島紡織進出口公司的秘書。
How do you do, Miss Wang.
你好，王小姐。
How do you do, Mr.Wilson. Welcome to China.

你能推薦別的選擇嗎？
Can I suggest a similar model?
我可以建議類似的型號嗎？
The alternative model is not what I wanted, so I’ll have to cancel the order.
另外的型號不是我需要的，因此我不得不取消訂單。
What does this mean for the consumer?
這對消費者意味著什么？
It’s not company policy to give credit without previous arrangement.
不經(jīng)事先安排就發(fā)放信貸不是本公司的策略。
Could you give us another month to settle an account?
你能再寬限我一個月結帳嗎？
If we don’t receive payment immediately, we will start proceedings against you.
如果我們不能立即收到付款，我們將對你動用法律程序。
I’m a very good customer.
我是一個聲譽良好的客戶。
All I’m asking for is a small discount.
我所要求的是很小的折扣。
It’s too big./It’s not big enough.

The problem is the zip isn’t working.
問題是拉鏈壞了。
I wanted to discuss my company’s outstanding account.
我想談一下我公司豐厚的利潤。
Payment is now four days overdue.
付款期已超過四天了。
We have some cash flow problems at the moment.
目前，我們有一些現(xiàn)金流通問題。
Shipment in October. Payment by irrevocable sight L/C. Other terms will be the same as our previous contract.
10月裝運，以不可撤銷的即期信用證付款，其它條件與上筆合同相同。
Perfect. But what I’m concerned about most is the time of delivery.
完全正確。但我最關心的是交貨時間。
You may rest assured that shipment will be effected within the time limit stipulated in the contract.
你們盡可以放心，我們會按合同期限及時交貨。
But there is also one point I’d like to stress.
但我也有一點想強調(diào)一下。
Yes?
是什么？
I’ll be here at 2 o’clock sharp.
2點鐘我準時到。
So, now we have covered all the important points.
我們現(xiàn)在所有的主要問題都已經(jīng)討論過了。
Yes. I think so.
我想是的。
Before we draft the contract, let’s examine the details.
在起草合同之前，我們先檢查一下所有的細節(jié)。
OK. Under this contract, we will supply you 1,000 dozen T-shirts, S,M and L equally assorted at US $80 per dozen, CFR Barcelona.
好的。根據(jù)這項合同，我們將向你們出售1,000打T恤衫，大、中、小號平均搭配，每打80美元，成本加運費巴塞羅那價。
Shipment in October. Payment by irrevocable sight L/C. Other terms will be the same as our previous contract.
10月裝運，以不可撤銷的即期信用證付款，其它條件與上筆合同相同。
Perfect. But what I’m concerned about most is the time of delivery.
完全正確。但我最關心的是交貨時間。
You may rest assured that shipment will be effected within the time limit stipulated in the contract.
你們盡可以放心，我們會按合同期限及時交貨。
But there is also one point I’d like to stress.
但我也有一點想強調(diào)一下。
Yes?
是什么？
I’ll be here at 2 o’clock sharp.
2點鐘我準時到。
So, now we have covered all the important points.
我們現(xiàn)在所有的主要問題都已經(jīng)討論過了。
Yes. I think so.
我想是的。
Before we draft the contract, let’s examine the details.
在起草合同之前，我們先檢查一下所有的細節(jié)。
OK. Under this contract, we will supply you 1,000 dozen T-shirts, S,M and L equally assorted at US $80 per dozen, CFR Barcelona.
好的。根據(jù)這項合同，我們將向你們出售1,000打T恤衫，大、中、小號平均搭配，每打80美元，成本加運費巴塞羅那價。
Of course. Within the validity of the agency agreement, you will not supply your product to any other buyer in Canada.
當然。在協(xié)議有效期內(nèi)，你們不能向加拿大其他買主供貨。
And we, on our part, shall not handle competitive products offered by other by other suppliers either.
當然我們也不能經(jīng)營其他供貨商提供的競爭性產(chǎn)品。
Sure. Let’s call it a deal.
當然。就這么定了。
When do we sign the agreement?
我們什么時候簽協(xié)議？
We’ll have the agreement made out within two days. Please come along at 2 p.m. the day after tomorrow.
我們兩天之內(nèi)就可以備好協(xié)議，請于后天下午2點過來簽字。
Do you mean to say that if we entrust you with the agency, you will sell $1,000,000 each year?
你的意思是說如果我們指定你們?yōu)榇�理，你將每年銷售100萬美元？
I couldn’t have said it any better. But we expect a 10% commission, of course.
就是這個意思。當然我們要求10%的傭金。
Our agents in other areas usually get a 5-7% commission.
我們給其它地區(qū)代理的傭金通常是5-7%。
But your product is still new to our market, and we need to do a lot of work and spend a lot of money on sales promotion.
但我們市場對你們產(chǎn)品仍然不太了解，我們在推銷過程中需要做很多工作，花很多錢。
A 10% commission won’t leave us much.
10%的傭金剩不下多少。
As you know, we are a well-established firm in the line of textiles, and we enjoy good relations with all the wholesalers, chain stores and distributors in Canada.
你知道，我公司在紡織業(yè)有良好的信譽，跟加拿大所有的批發(fā)商、連鎖商店和分銷商都保持很好的關系。
You’ll find it most worthwhile if you appoint us as your sole agent.
如果指定我們?yōu)槟銈兊莫毤掖�理，你們會覺得特別值。
Thank you for your intention to help promote the sales of our products, and we are quite satisfied with your performance in the last two years.
感謝你們推銷我方產(chǎn)品的意愿，對你們過去兩年的表現(xiàn)我們也非常滿意。
But honestly, an annual sales volume of $500,000 does not justify a sole agency agreement.
但說實在的，50萬美元的年銷售量并不證明你們能勝任獨家代理的工作。
If we are granted the sole agency, we can assure you that we’ll double the turnover.
如果我們得到獨家代理權，我們保證銷售量可翻一番。
I’ve come to talk about an agency agreement.
我是來談代理協(xié)議的。
What do you have in mind?
你們有什么想法？
Ever since your product entered our market two years ago, it has shown a great market potential.
你們產(chǎn)品自從兩年以前進入我們市場以來，顯示出了很大的潛力。
But you can do even better if you develop some kind of sales network there.
但如果你們能在那兒開發(fā)出某種銷售網(wǎng)絡，將會賣得更好。
To tell you the truth, I was just thinking of that.
說實話我也正在考慮這事。
Additional premium? That’s not a problem. There’s no harm in doing things on the safe side.
額外保險費？這沒問題。做事保險一些總沒壞處。
Then we will cover War Risk for you.
這樣我們就替你投保戰(zhàn)爭險。
Good. One more thing. What if I want a 130% coverage?
好的。還有一件事，如果我按130%投保呢？
You mean 130% of the invoice value? This can be done, but you will have to pay the extra premium too.
你是說發(fā)票金額的130%嗎？可以，但也要交額外保險費。
In this case I’d rather have 110%.
這樣的話，我還是投保110%吧。
We usually insure against All Risks for 110% of the invoice value.
我們通常按發(fā)票金額的110%投保一切險。
Does All Risks include War Risk?
一切險也包括戰(zhàn)爭險嗎？
No. War Risk is a special additional risk, and it has to be arranged separately.
不。戰(zhàn)爭險是一種特殊附加險，必須單獨投保。
But judging from the recent situation in Kosovo, I think War Risk should be covered.
但是從科所沃目前的形勢看，我認為應該投保戰(zhàn)爭險。
We can certainly do this, but it is subject to an additional premium, because our CIF quotation doesn’t include this risk.
我們當然可以做到，但戰(zhàn)爭險要交額外保險費，因為我們CIF報價沒有包括這種險別。
What about W.P.A.?
水漬險呢？
W.P.A. has a broader coverage. It covers everything in F.P.A. plus partial loss caused by natural calamities.
水漬險范圍廣一些，除了平安險的范圍外，還包括自然災害引起的部分損失。
And All Risks?
那么一切險呢？
All Risks means WPA plus additional risks, or extraneous risks, risks not incidental to transport by sea.
一切險就是水漬險加上附加險，附加險即不是由于海上運輸本身的特性所帶來的風險。
I see. Now, for this particular article, what risks do you usually cover?
我明白了。那么我們這批貨，你們通常投保什么險呢？
I have to say that I know every little about this clause. Can you explain it a little?.
我得說我對這個條款了解很少。你能不能解釋一下？
OK.OMCC provides coverage of three basic, some additional risks and some special additional risks.
好的�！逗Ｑ筮\輸貨物保險條款》承保三種基本險、一些附加險和一些特殊附加險。
The three basic risks are Free from Particular Average (F.P.A.), With Particular Averaged (W.P.A.) and All Risks (A.R.).
這三種基本險是平安險、水漬險和一切險。
What do they mean respectively?
它們分別是什么意思？
Well, roughly speaking, F.P.A. covers total loss resulting from both natural calamities and accidents, and partial loss caused by accidents.
大體上說，平安險包括自然災害和意外事故造成的全部損失和意外事故造成的部分損失。
I’m afraid I’m not in a position to give you an answer. I’ll have to consult our head office.
恐怕我無權給您答復，我得和我們總公司聯(lián)系一下。
Well, my head office says the best we can do is to accept 60 days L/C.
總公司說我們最多只能接受60天信用證。
60 days? That’s all right.
60天？好吧。
But we wish to point out that it is only with a view to encouraging future deals with you that we are accommodating you this time.
但是我們想指出的是，我們只是為了鼓勵將來的交易才給你這個通融的。
We always insure our goods with the People’s Insurance Company of China as per their Ocean Marine Cargo Clause, Jan.1, 1981 revision.
我們總是按照中國人民保險公司1981年1月1日的《海洋運輸貨物保險條款》向他們投保。
I understand your position. But at the moment, I do have some difficulty.
我理解您。但目前我確實有困難。
I would like to bend the rules a little if possible.
如果可能的話，我是愿意通融一下的。
We’d be willing to give you a 10% down payment.
我們愿意先付10%的定金。
And the balance by 90 days L/C?
余額用90天信用證支付嗎？
yes
是的。
Don’t worry. We’re only asking for cash this time.
別擔心。我們只是這次要現(xiàn)金。
Well, I think I have no other choice.
那么，我只好答應了。
Then that’s settled.
好，就這么定了。
Yes. I have to admit that you are very astute.
只好這樣啦。我不得不承認您很精明。
As this is the first deal between us, I hope we can trade on customary terms, i.e.,letter of credit payable against sight draft.
由于這是我們之間進行的第一筆交易，我很希望能夠遵照慣例，也就是說，用即期信用證付款。
You don’t mean to say you want cash, do you?
您不是在說您想要現(xiàn)金吧？
Actually, that’s just what I wanted to say.
實際上，這正是我想要說的。
Don’t you think a letter of credit is just as good as cash? And you can discount it at any time, if you like.
您不認為信用證跟現(xiàn)金差不多嗎？ 而且如果您愿意，什么時候都是可以貼現(xiàn)的。
The problem, you see, is that we are now at the turn of the century. We’re worried about the millennium bug. To be on the safe side, I think cash is the only thing we can accept.
您知道，問題是我們正處在世紀之交，千年蟲讓我們擔憂。所以為保險起見，我們只接受現(xiàn)金。
Will you still ask for cash in the future, I mean, after we enter the new century?
將來，我是說進入新世紀以后，你們?nèi)匀灰�現(xiàn)金嗎？
I’m sorry. I have to think it over. As you are probably aware, the international money market is not so stable nowadays.
很抱歉，我得好好考慮考慮。您可能有所警覺，當前國際貨幣市場不太穩(wěn)定。
Don’t you trust me? I believe that our pleasant cooperation over the years has proved us trustworthy partners.
您難道不相信我嗎？我相信過去幾年的愉快合作已經(jīng)證明，我們都是值得信賴的業(yè)務伙伴。
Yes, I know it. But I’m not worrying about your reliability …
這我知道，但我擔心的不是你的信譽……
Let’s consider another way, say, letter of credit. Do you think that’s acceptable?
那么我們來考慮另一種方式，比如說信用證，您認為可以接受嗎？
A letter of credit should have been all right. But as you know, interest rates are changing from minute to minute. And we can not be assured that …
信用證本來是可以的。但您知道，利率時刻都在變化，不能保證我們…
Then when is the earliest shipment we can expect?
那么最早什么時候可以裝運呢？
By the middle of October, I think.
我想要到十月中旬。
It’s too late. You see, November is the season for this commodity in our market, and our customs formalities are rather complicated.
那太遲了。你知道，在我們那兒十一月是這個商品上市季節(jié)，另外我們的海關手續(xù)相當復雜。
I understand.
我明白。
In terms of payment, would you like to accept D/P?
付款方式方面，您愿意接受付款交單嗎？
As I just said, it’s a long-distance transportation. I really don’t want to take any chances.
我剛才說過，貨物要經(jīng)過長途運輸，我實在不想任何冒險。
You need have no fears about that.
你不用擔心。
Well, I suppose there is no other choice.
好吧，看來只能這樣了。
Now that we’ve settled the terms of payment, is it possible to effect shipment during September?
我們已經(jīng)談妥了付款條件。是否能在九月份裝運？
I don’t think we can.
我看不行。
But we’re only talking about shirts. They’re not fragile goods. Besides, cartons are light and easy to handle.
但我們講的是襯衣。襯衣不是易碎物品。而且紙箱輕便，容易搬運。
Well, I just mean they’re easily breakable.
我是說紙箱容易破裂。
There’s no need to worry. We can reinforce the cartons with straps.
這個不用擔心。我們可以用條帶加固。
Look, these goods will have to go a long way before they arrive at our port. What if dampness gets into the package?
但這些貨物必須經(jīng)過長途運輸才能抵達我港。包裝受潮怎么辦？
All the cartons are lined with plastic sheets, so they’re absolutely water-proof, I can assure you.
所有紙箱都內(nèi)襯塑料袋，我可以保證絕對防水。
Most of them do. But the background color should be a little lighter.
大多數(shù)人是的。但底色好象應該再淡一些。
No problem. What do you think of our logo?
好。你覺得我們的標識怎么樣？
Very good. Maybe you should move it a little closer to the middle. 很好。
很好。再往中間靠一靠更好一些。
Alright. Do you have anything to say about the outer packaging?
好。外包裝如何？
You mentioned cartons, didn’t you? I’m afraid cartons are not strong enough.
你說的是紙箱吧？恐怕紙箱不夠牢固。
Please don’t worry. All the bags are beautifully designed to come in line with the local market preference at your end.
沒問題。所有袋子都設計得很精美，符合你們當?shù)厥袌龅目谖丁?
Have you got any samples here? I’d prefer to have a look.
這兒有沒有樣品？
Here you are.
請看。
It does look good. Especially the little swan.
確實漂亮。尤其是這個小天鵝。
Thank you. We understand that your people regard swans as a symbol of good luck.
多謝。我們聽說你們那兒的人把天鵝當成幸運物。
Thank you. Let’s call it a deal.
謝謝。那么成交了。
Excellent.
太好了。
Can we discuss the packing today?
我們今天談一談包裝好嗎？
Sure. We usually pack our skirts individually in polythene bags, ten dozen to one carton.
好的。我們的襯衣通常每件單獨裝一塑料袋，10打裝一紙箱。
Acceptable. But please pay attention to the design of the inner packing. All the packages must be ready for window display.
好。但請注意內(nèi)包裝的設計，所有的包裝都必須適于櫥窗展示。
Oh, I’m afraid the price you give is too low. The best I can do is 2%.
哇，恐怕你給的價格太低了。我頂多降價2%。
You say 2% and I say 4%. How about splitting the difference and meeting each other half way? Let’s settle at 3%.
你說2%，我說4%，我們來折中一下，雙方各讓一半怎樣？就降3%吧。
No. I’m afraid it’s still not acceptable.
不行，恐怕我還是不能接受。
What do you say to 2.5%, then?
2.5%怎么樣？
Hmm…I appreciate your efforts and sincerity in this transaction. As a token of our cooperation, we accept your bid.
噢……我非常感謝您在這筆生意中所做的努力和誠意。為表示我們愿意合作，我們接受您的遞價。
I’m sorry to say we can’t close business at that price. Aren’t we old friends?
我很抱歉，以這樣的價格我們無法成交。我們都是老朋友了吧！
Well, in view of our good cooperation over the past years, we can take some considerations, but only for this order.
好吧，鑒于我們過去多年的友好合作，我們可以做些考慮，但盡限這批訂貨。
Then how much can you go down?
那么你能減多少？
1% off the original price.
原價的1%。
1%! Your reduction is too modest. What about 4%?
1%! 你的降價幅度太小了。4%怎么樣？
Other companies are also saying that their products are the best.
別的公司也都說他們的產(chǎn)品是最好的。
Let’s meet each other half way. I’ll cut another 5%. That’s definitely my rock bottom price.
我們來折中一下吧。我再降5%。這絕對是最低價格了。
All right. That’s settled.
好吧。就這么定了。
Unfortunately your price appears to be higher than ever.
很遺憾，您的價格比以往都高。
Yes, we know. Because of the price hike in raw materials, we were forced to adjust our prices accordingly.
是的，我們知道。但由于原材料漲價，我們不得不相應調(diào)整產(chǎn)品的價格。
Then what’s your idea of a good price?
那你覺得什么價格合適？
I would say 20% off the listed price.
標價減20%。
impossible. We won’t make any profit at that price. 10% is the best we can do.
那不可能。這樣我們就無錢可賺了。最多降10%。
It’s still too high.
還是太高。
Our quality is far beyond comparison. Besides, the market is advancing. Our goods can always find a good sale.
我們的質(zhì)量是無與倫比的。而且行情上漲，我們的貨物銷路一直很好。
We are surprised to find that your price is 25% higher compared with other companies.
發(fā)現(xiàn)你們的價格比其他公司的高25%，我們很吃驚。
25%？ You can’t be serious!
25%? 你不是開玩笑吧！
That has been confirmed by our survey. I’m afraid I’ll have to cancel the deal unless you reduce your price.
我們調(diào)查證實過了。恐怕我將不得不取消這筆生意，除非您降價。
But you know fully well that our product is of superior quality. Other products can’t be compared with it.
但您很了解我們的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量上乘，其他產(chǎn)品無法與之相比。
True. But it’s also a fact that your price is too high.
是的。但您的價格太高了，這也是一個事實。
But even for such products we have minimum quality requirements that must be met.
即使是這些產(chǎn)品，我們也規(guī)定了必須達到的最低質(zhì)量要求。
Indeed, they are not bad, indeed. Do you do them in any other colors?
確實不錯。還有其他顏色嗎？
Yes, there is dark blue, light gray, desert tan, all available in a full range of sizes.
有的，還有深藍、淺灰、土黃 — 這些顏色尺碼都齊全。
The color won’t fade, will it?
不會褪色吧？
No, it’ll last very well.
不，不會褪色。
If you can produce fashionable styles of such fine quality, your shoes will win great popularity in our market.
如果那么你們能生產(chǎn)品質(zhì)這么優(yōu)良款式有新穎的鞋子，它們在我們市場上將會大受歡迎。
Quality is something we never neglect. Good quality ensures continued sales.
我們一直十分重視質(zhì)量。商品質(zhì)量好，才能不斷有銷路。
Indeed. I see you’ve got some nice walking shoes too.
確實是。我看你們還有些便鞋也挺不錯。
They’re remarkably comfortable. By the way, Mr. Smith, isn’t there room in your market for lower grade shoes?
這種鞋穿著非常舒服。順便問一下，史密斯先生，比較低檔的鞋在你們那里有銷路嗎？
Even highly demanding markets require a wide range of quality and price levels for any group of products.
即使要求很高的市場對不同種類的商品，也需要有各種檔次的貨色和價格。
And durable as well.
而且也耐穿。
Oh, durability is not too important nowadays, especially for women’s shoes, it’s a style conscious market.
噢，耐穿在當今時代已經(jīng)不大重要了，尤其是女鞋，講究式樣翻新。
Yes, we’ve noticed that.
是的，我們已經(jīng)注意到了。
Some of your shoes are satisfactory to your domestic market, but they would need to be adapted for the export market or they wouldn’t be acceptable.
你們的一些鞋，對你們國內(nèi)市場來說是不錯的，但是作為外銷，就要有些改動，要不然，國外不會接受的。
We can produce shoes modeled after the fashions of different markets or according to buyers’ samples.
我們能按不同市場的流行款式或客戶來樣，制作不同款式的鞋子。
Your L/C must be opened at least one month before the time of shipment, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to catch the ship.
你方信用證必須在裝貨前一個月開出，否則我們將趕不上船。
No problem. I’ll have the covering L/C opened as soon as I get back.
沒問題。我一回去，就馬上安排開立有關信用證。
Fine. I’m very glad our negotiations have arrived at a successful conclusion.
好，我很高興我們的談判取得了成功。
Me too. I hope this initial deal will result in further transactions between us.
我也是。我希望這首筆生意會帶來更多的交易。
Of course. We will have the Sales Contract made out in two days.
當然了。兩天后銷售合同就準備好。
Please remember to use both English and Chinese versions and both versions should be equally valid.
請記住用中英兩種文字繕制合同，兩種文本同樣有效。
Naturally. Each of us keeps one original and two copies.
那是當然。我們每人保留一份正本和兩份副本。
Then I’ll come along two days later to put my signature on it.
那么兩天后我再來簽字。
Good.
好的。
Well Mr.Chen, it’s been very pleasant talking with you.
陳先生，跟您談話真是非常愉快。
Thanks. By the way, do you have any plans for tonight?
謝謝。順便問一下，今晚有什么安排嗎？
None whatsoever. I’m at your disposal.
一點兒也沒有呢。我得聽你安排。
Why don’t we have dinner together to celebrate the success of our first deal. There is a very nice restaurant round the corner.
咱們一起吃晚飯，慶祝我們的首次交易成功，好不好？附近有一家飯店非常不錯。
I’d love to!
太好了！

We’ll meet you at the gate of the hotel at six this evening.
晚上六點，我們在飯店門口等你們。
Thank you for your invitation.

請預訂一桌八個人的酒席。
