A: I’m interested in all kinds of your products, but this time I would like to order some fireworks and mosquito coil incense10. Please quote us C.I.F. Rangoon.

B: Please let us know the quantity required so that we can work out the premium11 and freight charges.

A: I’m going to place a trial order for 1,000 units of a dozen fireworks and 500 cartons of mosquito coil incense.

B: All right. Here are our F.O.B. price lists. All the prices are subject to our final confirmation12.

A: Your price is reasonable but I wonder if you would give us a discount. You know for the products like yours we usually get 2% or 3% discount from European suppliers.

B: We usually offer on a net basis only. Many of our clients have been doing very well on this quoted price.

 

-- 我对你们所有的产品都感兴趣,但这次我想购买烟火和蚊香。请报 CIF仰光到岸价。

-- 我们打算试订一千打烟火和五百箱蚊香。

-- 好吧!这是我们的FOB价目表。所有的价格都以我方最后确认为准。

-- 你方的价格很合理,但我想知道你们能否给一个折扣?像这样的 商品,我们通常从欧洲供货商那里得到百分之二到百分之三的折 扣。

-- 我们通常只报净价。我们的许多客户在这个报价上都做得很好。

 

A: Discounts will more or less encourage us to make every effort to push sales of your products.

A: As far as a trial order is concerned, the quantity is by no means small. And generally speaking, we like to profit from a trial order. I hope you’ll be able to meet our requirements.

B: Well, as this is the first deal between us, we agree to give you an one-percent discount as a special encouragement.

A: 1%? That’s too low a rate. Could you see your way to increase it to 2%?

B: I’m afraid we have really made a great concession13, and could not go any further.

A: It seems this is the only proposal for me to accept. I’ll come again tomorrow to discuss it in detail.

B: All right. See you tomorrow.

 

-- 折扣或多或少能给我们一些鼓励,能使我们更加努力地推销贵方的 产品。

-- 由于这是我们的第一次交易,我们同意作为特殊照顾给予你们百分 之一的折扣。

-- 百分之一?那太少了。能不能想办法增加到百分之二?

-- 恐怕不行了,我们确实已做出了很大让步,无法再增加了。

Dear Sirs:

 

We confirm email exchanged between us regarding fireworks and mosquito-repellent incense and are glad that we have come to an agreement on the price. Your last email informed us that you could offer us 500 units of a dozen fireworks and 300 cartons of mosquito-repellent incense, which we think is not enough. More and more clients in our country like to buy Chinese products because of their good quality. If we do not take care of the supply of our market, they will naturally turn somewhere else for their needs. So we do hope you can offer us at least 1,000 units of a dozen fireworks and 500 cartons of mosquito-repellent incense.

 

We appreciate your efforts and cooperation and believe this order will lead to considerable business in the future.

 

We look forward to your early reply.

 

……Import Corp.

兹证实我们双方关于烟火和蚊香的往来电报。我们很高兴在价格方面达成了协议。你在上一封电报里通知我们,只能报五百打烟火和三百箱蚊香,这个数量是不够的。由于中国商品质量好,我们越来越多的客户喜欢购买它。如我们不能充分供应市场,他们势必会从别处购买。因此,我们希望你至少能报一千打烟火和五百箱蚊香。

 

我们感谢你方的努力和合作,相信这次订货将会带来今后更多的交易。

 

盼早复。
