4.情景对话听一听
Dialogue 1
A: Today, I would like to talk about the packaging issues.
B: All right, I mean to discuss this with you as well. What a coincidence!
A: Yeah, great minds think alike, huh?
B: For this time, we plan to use a polythene wrapper for inner packaging, besides, in order to accommodate to the American consumer’s taste, we plan to print color embroidery patterns on the exclusively designed wrapping bag.
A: Perfect! A wrapping that catches the eye will certainly help push the sales.
B: Yeah, as you know, top products require top packaging.
A: You can say that again. As a matter of fact, with competition from similar pants, the merchandise must not only be of superb value, but also look attractive.
A:今天我想过来跟你谈谈关于包装的问题。
B:好的，我正准备和你谈这事呢，好巧啊。
A:对，英雄所见略同啊！
B:对于这次，我们用聚乙烯袋子来做内包装；另外，为了迎合美国消费者的口味，我们还特别印上了彩色的刺绣在包装袋子上，以显高贵。
A:好的，耀眼的包装往往有助于促销。
B:好的，一流的产品配一流的包装嘛。
A：你说得对极了。实际上，我们都明白，要在和相似同类产品竞争中立于不败之地，除了要有过硬的质量，还必须要有具有吸引力的包装。
Dialogue 2
A: Do you have anything to say about the outer packaging?
B: You mean cartons, don’t you? I’m afraid cartons are not strong enough.
A: But we’re only talking about shirts. They’re not fragile goods. Besides, cartons are light and easy to handle.
B: Well, I mean they’re easily breakable.
A: There’s no need to worry. We can reinforce the cartons with straps.
B: But, these goods will have to go a long way before they arrive at our port. What if dampness gets into the packages?
A: All the cartons are lined with plastic sheets, so they’re absolutely waterproof, I can assure you.
B: As I just said, it’s a long-distance transportation, I really don’t want to take any chances.
A: You need have no fears about that. Our way of packing has been widely accepted by other clients, and we have received no complaints whatsoever up to now.
B: Well, I suppose there is no other choice.
A:你觉得外包装如何？
B:你说的是纸箱吧？恐怕纸箱不够牢固。
A:但我们讲的只是衬衫。衬衫不是易碎物品。此外，纸箱轻便，容易搬运。
B:我是说纸箱容易破裂。
A:这个不用担心。我们可以用条带加固。
B: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？
A:所有纸箱都内衬塑料纸，我可以保证绝对防水。
B:我刚才说过，货物要经过长途运输，我可不想冒险。
A:你不用担心。我们的包装方式已经被其他客户广泛接受，目前为止还没有任何投诉。
B:好吧，看来只能这样了。
5.模仿对话说一说
Dialogue 1
A: Let’s exchange ideas on terms of shipment.
B: Go ahead.
A: To make it easier for us to get the goods ready, we’re willing to ship them in three lots.
B: The goods we ordered are seasonal goods’ therefore, you’d better ship them in one lot.
A: But it will cause a lot of problems in our shipment. And it is very difficult to book so much shipping space at once.
B: I understand your position, but you should try your best to make everything go smoothly.
A: We will contact shipping company to meet your need. I will phone you in the afternoon to tell you the results.
B: Good.
A:让我们交换一下关于装运的意见吧。
B:请讲。
A:为了便于我方备货装船，我们希望分3批装船。
B:我们订购的这批货都是季节性的商品，因此贵方最好能一次全部装运。
A:但是那将给我们的装运带来许多问题，并且很难一次订到那么多的舱位。
B:我理解你们的情形，但是你们应该尽力处理好每件事情。
A:我们将与轮船公司联系以满足贵方的需求。下午我会给你打电话告诉你结果。
B:好的。
Dialogue 2
A: I think it would be a good idea to transport by container vessels.
B: Yes, they are safe and can avoid constant handing of the goods. But not all ports have the facilities for loading and unloading them.
A: That’s not a problem. We can deliver the containers to a port with such facilities, then load the consignment onto trucks and take them to our customers.
B: Oh, that will involve much extra work and the cost will be much higher.
A: Don’t worry. I’ve contacted our port of delivery. They have the facilities to handle containers.
B: That’s good. But there is one more thing. What about the bill of lading?
A: We’ll be using a combine’s transport bill of lading in this case.
B: Our transaction is on a letter of credit basis, so we should advise our bank this document will be acceptable instead of the usual B/L.
A:我认为用集装箱装运是个好主意。
B:是的，这样安全，不用多次搬运货物，但不是所有的港都有装卸集装箱的设施。
A:这不是问题，我们可以把集装箱运到有这种设施的港口，然后用卡车把集装箱拉到客户那里。
B:哦，那样就会多加了一些旁务，费用就会高多了。
A:别急，我们与交货港联系过了，他们有装卸集装箱的设施。
B:那好，不过还有一事，提单怎么办？
A:我们这次用联运提单。
B:我们的交易是以信用证结算的，所以我该通知银行接收联运提单，而不是通常所用的提单。
