The problem is the zip isn’t working.
问题是拉链坏了。
I wanted to discuss my company’s outstanding account.
我想谈一下我公司丰厚的利润。
Payment is now four days overdue.
付款期已超过四天了。
We have some cash flow problems at the moment.
目前，我们有一些现金流通问题。
Shipment in October. Payment by irrevocable sight L/C. Other terms will be the same as our previous contract.
10月装运，以不可撤销的即期信用证付款，其它条件与上笔合同相同。
Perfect. But what I’m concerned about most is the time of delivery.
完全正确。但我最关心的是交货时间。
You may rest assured that shipment will be effected within the time limit stipulated in the contract.
你们尽可以放心，我们会按合同期限及时交货。
But there is also one point I’d like to stress.
但我也有一点想强调一下。
Yes?
是什么？
I’ll be here at 2 o’clock sharp.
2点钟我准时到。
So, now we have covered all the important points.
我们现在所有的主要问题都已经讨论过了。
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，我们先检查一下所有的细节。
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。根据这项合同，我们将向你们出售1,000打T恤衫，大、中、小号平均搭配，每打80美元，成本加运费巴塞罗那价。

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。根据这项合同，我们将向你们出售1,000打T恤衫，大、中、小号平均搭配，每打80美元，成本加运费巴塞罗那价。
Of course. Within the validity of the agency agreement, you will not supply your product to any other buyer in Canada.
当然。在协议有效期内，你们不能向加拿大其他买主供货。
And we, on our part, shall not handle competitive products offered by other by other suppliers either.
当然我们也不能经营其他供货商提供的竞争性产品。
Sure. Let’s call it a deal.
当然。就这么定了。
When do we sign the agreement?
我们什么时候签协议？
We’ll have the agreement made out within two days. Please come along at 2 p.m. the day after tomorrow.
我们两天之内就可以备好协议，请于后天下午2点过来签字。
Do you mean to say that if we entrust you with the agency, you will sell $1,000,000 each year?
你的意思是说如果我们指定你们为代理，你将每年销售100万美元？
I couldn’t have said it any better. But we expect a 10% commission, of course.
就是这个意思。当然我们要求10%的佣金。
Our agents in other areas usually get a 5-7% commission.
我们给其它地区代理的佣金通常是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.
但我们市场对你们产品仍然不太了解，我们在推销过程中需要做很多工作，花很多钱。
A 10% commission won’t leave us much.
10%的佣金剩不下多少。
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，我公司在纺织业有良好的信誉，跟加拿大所有的批发商、连锁商店和分销商都保持很好的关系。
You’ll find it most worthwhile if you appoint us as your sole agent.
如果指定我们为你们的独家代理，你们会觉得特别值。
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.
感谢你们推销我方产品的意愿，对你们过去两年的表现我们也非常满意。
But honestly, an annual sales volume of $500,000 does not justify a sole agency agreement.
但说实在的，50万美元的年销售量并不证明你们能胜任独家代理的工作。
If we are granted the sole agency, we can assure you that we’ll double the turnover.
如果我们得到独家代理权，我们保证销售量可翻一番。
I’ve come to talk about an agency agreement.
我是来谈代理协议的。
What do you have in mind?
你们有什么想法？
Ever since your product entered our market two years ago, it has shown a great market potential.
你们产品自从两年以前进入我们市场以来，显示出了很大的潜力。
But you can do even better if you develop some kind of sales network there.
但如果你们能在那儿开发出某种销售网络，将会卖得更好。
To tell you the truth, I was just thinking of that.
说实话我也正在考虑这事。
Additional premium? That’s not a problem. There’s no harm in doing things on the safe side.
额外保险费？这没问题。做事保险一些总没坏处。
Then we will cover War Risk for you.
这样我们就替你投保战争险。
Good. One more thing. What if I want a 130% coverage?
好的。还有一件事，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.
你是说发票金额的130%吗？可以，但也要交额外保险费。
In this case I’d rather have 110%.
这样的话，我还是投保110%吧。
We usually insure against All Risks for 110% of the invoice value.
我们通常按发票金额的110%投保一切险。
Does All Risks include War Risk?
一切险也包括战争险吗？
No. War Risk is a special additional risk, and it has to be arranged separately.
不。战争险是一种特殊附加险，必须单独投保。
But judging from the recent situation in Kosovo, I think War Risk should be covered.
但是从科所沃目前的形势看，我认为应该投保战争险。
We can certainly do this, but it is subject to an additional premium, because our CIF quotation doesn’t include this risk.
我们当然可以做到，但战争险要交额外保险费，因为我们CIF报价没有包括这种险别。
What about W.P.A.?
水渍险呢？
W.P.A. has a broader coverage. It covers everything in F.P.A. plus partial loss caused by natural calamities.
水渍险范围广一些，除了平安险的范围外，还包括自然灾害引起的部分损失。
And All Risks?
那么一切险呢？
All Risks means WPA plus additional risks, or extraneous risks, risks not incidental to transport by sea.
一切险就是水渍险加上附加险，附加险即不是由于海上运输本身的特性所带来的风险。
I see. Now, for this particular article, what risks do you usually cover?
我明白了。那么我们这批货，你们通常投保什么险呢？
I have to say that I know every little about this clause. Can you explain it a little?.
我得说我对这个条款了解很少。你能不能解释一下？
OK.OMCC provides coverage of three basic, some additional risks and some special additional risks.
好的。《海洋运输货物保险条款》承保三种基本险、一些附加险和一些特殊附加险。
The three basic risks are Free from Particular Average (F.P.A.), With Particular Averaged (W.P.A.) and All Risks (A.R.).
这三种基本险是平安险、水渍险和一切险。
What do they mean respectively?
它们分别是什么意思？
Well, roughly speaking, F.P.A. covers total loss resulting from both natural calamities and accidents, and partial loss caused by accidents.
大体上说，平安险包括自然灾害和意外事故造成的全部损失和意外事故造成的部分损失。
I’m afraid I’m not in a position to give you an answer. I’ll have to consult our head office.
恐怕我无权给您答复，我得和我们总公司联系一下。
Well, my head office says the best we can do is to accept 60 days L/C.
总公司说我们最多只能接受60天信用证。
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.
但是我们想指出的是，我们只是为了鼓励将来的交易才给你这个通融的。
We always insure our goods with the People’s Insurance Company of China as per their Ocean Marine Cargo Clause, Jan.1, 1981 revision.
我们总是按照中国人民保险公司1981年1月1日的《海洋运输货物保险条款》向他们投保。
I understand your position. But at the moment, I do have some difficulty.
我理解您。但目前我确实有困难。
I would like to bend the rules a little if possible.
如果可能的话，我是愿意通融一下的。
We’d be willing to give you a 10% down payment.
我们愿意先付10%的定金。
And the balance by 90 days L/C?
余额用90天信用证支付吗？
yes
是的。
Don’t worry. We’re only asking for cash this time.
别担心。我们只是这次要现金。
Well, I think I have no other choice.
那么，我只好答应了。
Then that’s settled.
好，就这么定了。
Yes. I have to admit that you are very astute.
只好这样啦。我不得不承认您很精明。
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.
由于这是我们之间进行的第一笔交易，我很希望能够遵照惯例，也就是说，用即期信用证付款。
You don’t mean to say you want cash, do you?
您不是在说您想要现金吧？
Actually, that’s just what I wanted to say.
实际上，这正是我想要说的。
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.
您不认为信用证跟现金差不多吗？ 而且如果您愿意，什么时候都是可以贴现的。
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，问题是我们正处在世纪之交，千年虫让我们担忧。所以为保险起见，我们只接受现金。
Will you still ask for cash in the future, I mean, after we enter the new century?
将来，我是说进入新世纪以后，你们仍然要现金吗？
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，我得好好考虑考虑。您可能有所警觉，当前国际货币市场不太稳定。
Don’t you trust me? I believe that our pleasant cooperation over the years has proved us trustworthy partners.
您难道不相信我吗？我相信过去几年的愉快合作已经证明，我们都是值得信赖的业务伙伴。
Yes, I know it. But I’m not worrying about your reliability …
这我知道，但我担心的不是你的信誉……
Let’s consider another way, say, letter of credit. Do you think that’s acceptable?
那么我们来考虑另一种方式，比如说信用证，您认为可以接受吗？
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 …
信用证本来是可以的。但您知道，利率时刻都在变化，不能保证我们…
Then when is the earliest shipment we can expect?
那么最早什么时候可以装运呢？
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.
那太迟了。你知道，在我们那儿十一月是这个商品上市季节，另外我们的海关手续相当复杂。
I understand.
我明白。
In terms of payment, would you like to accept D/P?
付款方式方面，您愿意接受付款交单吗？
As I just said, it’s a long-distance transportation. I really don’t want to take any chances.
我刚才说过，货物要经过长途运输，我实在不想任何冒险。
You need have no fears about that.
你不用担心。
Well, I suppose there is no other choice.
好吧，看来只能这样了。
Now that we’ve settled the terms of payment, is it possible to effect shipment during September?
我们已经谈妥了付款条件。是否能在九月份装运？
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.
但我们讲的是衬衣。衬衣不是易碎物品。而且纸箱轻便，容易搬运。
Well, I just mean they’re easily breakable.
我是说纸箱容易破裂。
There’s no need to worry. We can reinforce the cartons with straps.
这个不用担心。我们可以用条带加固。
Look, these goods will have to go a long way before they arrive at our port. What if dampness gets into the package?
但这些货物必须经过长途运输才能抵达我港。包装受潮怎么办？
All the cartons are lined with plastic sheets, so they’re absolutely water-proof, I can assure you.
所有纸箱都内衬塑料袋，我可以保证绝对防水。
Most of them do. But the background color should be a little lighter.
大多数人是的。但底色好象应该再淡一些。
No problem. What do you think of our logo?
好。你觉得我们的标识怎么样？
Very good. Maybe you should move it a little closer to the middle. 很好。
很好。再往中间靠一靠更好一些。
Alright. Do you have anything to say about the outer packaging?
好。外包装如何？
You mentioned cartons, didn’t you? I’m afraid cartons are not strong enough.
你说的是纸箱吧？恐怕纸箱不够牢固。
Please don’t worry. All the bags are beautifully designed to come in line with the local market preference at your end.
没问题。所有袋子都设计得很精美，符合你们当地市场的口味。
Have you got any samples here? I’d prefer to have a look.
这儿有没有样品？
Here you are.
请看。
It does look good. Especially the little swan.
确实漂亮。尤其是这个小天鹅。
Thank you. We understand that your people regard swans as a symbol of good luck.
多谢。我们听说你们那儿的人把天鹅当成幸运物。
Thank you. Let’s call it a deal.
谢谢。那么成交了。
Excellent.
太好了。
Can we discuss the packing today?
我们今天谈一谈包装好吗？
Sure. We usually pack our skirts individually in polythene bags, ten dozen to one carton.
好的。我们的衬衣通常每件单独装一塑料袋，10打装一纸箱。
Acceptable. But please pay attention to the design of the inner packing. All the packages must be ready for window display.
好。但请注意内包装的设计，所有的包装都必须适于橱窗展示。
Oh, I’m afraid the price you give is too low. The best I can do is 2%.
哇，恐怕你给的价格太低了。我顶多降价2%。
You say 2% and I say 4%. How about splitting the difference and meeting each other half way? Let’s settle at 3%.
你说2%，我说4%，我们来折中一下，双方各让一半怎样？就降3%吧。
No. I’m afraid it’s still not acceptable.
不行，恐怕我还是不能接受。
What do you say to 2.5%, then?
2.5%怎么样？
Hmm…I appreciate your efforts and sincerity in this transaction. As a token of our cooperation, we accept your bid.
噢……我非常感谢您在这笔生意中所做的努力和诚意。为表示我们愿意合作，我们接受您的递价。
I’m sorry to say we can’t close business at that price. Aren’t we old friends?
我很抱歉，以这样的价格我们无法成交。我们都是老朋友了吧！
Well, in view of our good cooperation over the past years, we can take some considerations, but only for this order.
好吧，鉴于我们过去多年的友好合作，我们可以做些考虑，但尽限这批订货。
Then how much can you go down?
那么你能减多少？
1% off the original price.
原价的1%。
1%! Your reduction is too modest. What about 4%?
1%! 你的降价幅度太小了。4%怎么样？
Other companies are also saying that their products are the best.
别的公司也都说他们的产品是最好的。
Let’s meet each other half way. I’ll cut another 5%. That’s definitely my rock bottom price.
我们来折中一下吧。我再降5%。这绝对是最低价格了。
All right. That’s settled.
好吧。就这么定了。
Unfortunately your price appears to be higher than ever.
很遗憾，您的价格比以往都高。
Yes, we know. Because of the price hike in raw materials, we were forced to adjust our prices accordingly.
是的，我们知道。但由于原材料涨价，我们不得不相应调整产品的价格。
Then what’s your idea of a good price?
那你觉得什么价格合适？
I would say 20% off the listed price.
标价减20%。
impossible. We won’t make any profit at that price. 10% is the best we can do.
那不可能。这样我们就无钱可赚了。最多降10%。
It’s still too high.
还是太高。
Our quality is far beyond comparison. Besides, the market is advancing. Our goods can always find a good sale.
我们的质量是无与伦比的。而且行情上涨，我们的货物销路一直很好。
We are surprised to find that your price is 25% higher compared with other companies.
发现你们的价格比其他公司的高25%，我们很吃惊。
25%？ You can’t be serious!
25%? 你不是开玩笑吧！
That has been confirmed by our survey. I’m afraid I’ll have to cancel the deal unless you reduce your price.
我们调查证实过了。恐怕我将不得不取消这笔生意，除非您降价。
But you know fully well that our product is of superior quality. Other products can’t be compared with it.
但您很了解我们的产品质量上乘，其他产品无法与之相比。
True. But it’s also a fact that your price is too high.
是的。但您的价格太高了，这也是一个事实。
But even for such products we have minimum quality requirements that must be met.
即使是这些产品，我们也规定了必须达到的最低质量要求。
Indeed, they are not bad, indeed. Do you do them in any other colors?
确实不错。还有其他颜色吗？
Yes, there is dark blue, light gray, desert tan, all available in a full range of sizes.
有的，还有深蓝、浅灰、土黄 — 这些颜色尺码都齐全。
The color won’t fade, will it?
不会褪色吧？
No, it’ll last very well.
不，不会褪色。
If you can produce fashionable styles of such fine quality, your shoes will win great popularity in our market.
如果那么你们能生产品质这么优良款式有新颖的鞋子，它们在我们市场上将会大受欢迎。
Quality is something we never neglect. Good quality ensures continued sales.
我们一直十分重视质量。商品质量好，才能不断有销路。
Indeed. I see you’ve got some nice walking shoes too.
确实是。我看你们还有些便鞋也挺不错。
They’re remarkably comfortable. By the way, Mr. Smith, isn’t there room in your market for lower grade shoes?
这种鞋穿着非常舒服。顺便问一下，史密斯先生，比较低档的鞋在你们那里有销路吗？
Even highly demanding markets require a wide range of quality and price levels for any group of products.
即使要求很高的市场对不同种类的商品，也需要有各种档次的货色和价格。
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，耐穿在当今时代已经不大重要了，尤其是女鞋，讲究式样翻新。
Yes, we’ve noticed that.
是的，我们已经注意到了。
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.
你们的一些鞋，对你们国内市场来说是不错的，但是作为外销，就要有些改动，要不然，国外不会接受的。
We can produce shoes modeled after the fashions of different markets or according to buyers’ samples.
我们能按不同市场的流行款式或客户来样，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.
你方信用证必须在装货前一个月开出，否则我们将赶不上船。
No problem. I’ll have the covering L/C opened as soon as I get back.
没问题。我一回去，就马上安排开立有关信用证。
Fine. I’m very glad our negotiations have arrived at a successful conclusion.
好，我很高兴我们的谈判取得了成功。
Me too. I hope this initial deal will result in further transactions between us.
我也是。我希望这首笔生意会带来更多的交易。
Of course. We will have the Sales Contract made out in two days.
当然了。两天后销售合同就准备好。
Please remember to use both English and Chinese versions and both versions should be equally valid.
请记住用中英两种文字缮制合同，两种文本同样有效。
Naturally. Each of us keeps one original and two copies.
那是当然。我们每人保留一份正本和两份副本。
Then I’ll come along two days later to put my signature on it.
那么两天后我再来签字。
Good.
好的。
Well Mr.Chen, it’s been very pleasant talking with you.
陈先生，跟您谈话真是非常愉快。
Thanks. By the way, do you have any plans for tonight?
谢谢。顺便问一下，今晚有什么安排吗？
None whatsoever. I’m at your disposal.
一点儿也没有呢。我得听你安排。
Why don’t we have dinner together to celebrate the success of our first deal. There is a very nice restaurant round the corner.
咱们一起吃晚饭，庆祝我们的首次交易成功，好不好？附近有一家饭店非常不错。
I’d love to!
