商務(wù)英語(yǔ)300句 - Unit 6 Price 價(jià)格

1、Brief Introduction對(duì)外貿(mào)易中的商品單價(jià)通常由四個(gè)部分組成，即計(jì)量單位、單位價(jià)格、計(jì)價(jià)貨幣和價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)。國(guó)際貿(mào)易中使用的價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)很多，其中以 F.O.B、C.I.F、及C.F.R三種價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)最為常用。對(duì)于這三種價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)，國(guó)際上有多種解釋，現(xiàn)將這三種價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)扼要解釋如下：1.F.O.B 該價(jià)格叫裝運(yùn)港船上交貨價(jià)，簡(jiǎn)稱“船上交貨”。F.O.B是 Free On Board的縮寫。采用這一價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)時(shí)要在其后注明裝運(yùn)港名稱。2.C.I.F 該價(jià)格叫成本加保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)、運(yùn)費(fèi)價(jià)。C.I.F是Cost Insurance Freight的縮寫。采用這種價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)的時(shí)候，應(yīng)在C.I.F后注明目的港名稱。

2、3.C.F.R該價(jià)格叫成本加運(yùn)費(fèi)價(jià)。采用這種價(jià)格術(shù)語(yǔ)時(shí)，也應(yīng)在 C.F.R后注明目的港名稱。Basic Expressions1.

Let me see . here it is. 100 cases Houston Bristles, 57 mm, at 10 pounds sterling pe

7、r kilogram, C.I.FEuropean Main Ports, for shipment in June 2001. The offer is valid for five days.A: Why, your price has soared. Its almost 25% higher than last years. It would be impossible for us to push any sales at such a price.B: Im a little surprised to hear you say that. You know very well th

8、at markets for bristles have gone up a great deal in recent months. The price we offer compares favorably with quotations you can get elsewhere.- 我是來(lái)聽(tīng)取你們對(duì)豬鬃的報(bào)盤。- 我們已為你準(zhǔn)備好了報(bào)盤。讓我找一找，啊，在這里，100箱57毫 米休斯敦豬鬃，每公斤成本加運(yùn)費(fèi)保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)到歐洲主要口岸價(jià)10英 鎊，2001年6月交貨。報(bào)盤五天有效。- 為什么你方的價(jià)格猛漲，幾乎比去年高出25%？按這種價(jià)格，我方 實(shí)在難以銷售。- 你這樣說(shuō)讓我有點(diǎn)驚訝。近月來(lái)豬

9、鬃市價(jià)漲了很多。我方所報(bào)的價(jià)格與你從別處能獲得的價(jià)格相比，是較為便宜的。A: Im afraid I cant agree with you there. I must point out your price is higher than some of the quotations weve received from other sources.B: But you must take the quality into consideration. Everyone in the trade knows that USs bristles are of superior quality

10、to those from other countries.A: I agree that yours are of better quality. But theres competition from synthetic products, too. You cant very well ignore that. Prices for synthetic bristles havent changed much over the years.B: Theres practically no substitute for bristles for certain uses. Thats wh

11、y demand for natural bristles keeps rising in spite of cheaper synthetic ones. To be frank with you, if it were not for the long- standing relationship between us, we would hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.A: Well, well have a lot of difficulties in persuading our clients to

12、buy at this price. But Ill have to try, I suppose.- 恐怕我不同意你的說(shuō)法，你們的價(jià)格比我們從別處所得到的一些報(bào)價(jià)高。- 但是你方必須考慮到質(zhì)量的問(wèn)題。同行中人人皆知美國(guó)豬鬃質(zhì)地優(yōu)于其他國(guó)家的供貨。 - 我承認(rèn)你們的豬鬃質(zhì)量高，但還有人造制品的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。你恐怕不能忽視這一點(diǎn)吧。今年來(lái)，人造制品的價(jià)格并無(wú)多大變化。- 在某些用途方面，幾乎沒(méi)有東西可以代替豬鬃。盡管人造制品價(jià)格 便宜，但對(duì)天然豬鬃的需求還在不斷增長(zhǎng)，原因就在這里。老實(shí) 說(shuō)，如果不是為了我們雙方長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)的關(guān)系，我們不大可能以這樣 的價(jià)格向你方報(bào)實(shí)盤的。- 唉，要說(shuō)服客戶以這個(gè)價(jià)格購(gòu)買，對(duì)

13、我們來(lái)說(shuō)還真不容易。不過(guò)看來(lái)，我得試一試。Dialogue 2A: I believe youve studied our proposal for fertilizers.B: Yes, Mr. Smith. And were very much interested.A: Its almost twenty years since we first supplied you with ourproducts in 1984. To our regret, for one reason or another, business between us has failed to develop

14、. I hope well succeed in concluding some business this time.B: As weve repeatedly stated, US does business on the basis of equality, mutual benefit and exchange of needed goods. If these principles are adhered to, Im certain that mutually beneficialbusiness will result.- 我相信你們已經(jīng)仔細(xì)研究過(guò)了我們的肥料報(bào)盤。- 是的，史密

15、斯先生，我們對(duì)此很感興趣。- 我們于1984年首次向你方供應(yīng)產(chǎn)品至今差不多已有20年之久。由于種種原因，我們之間的業(yè)務(wù)未能繼續(xù)下去，對(duì)此我們感到很遺 憾。希望我們這次能達(dá)成一些交易。- 我們一再說(shuō)明，美國(guó)是在平等互利、互通有無(wú)的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行貿(mào)易 的。若遵循了這些原則，我確信能夠達(dá)成對(duì)雙方都有利的交易。A: May we hear your comments on your products?B: We find the quality of your samples well up to standard and suitable for our requirements. On the oth

16、er hand, were received offers for higher quality products. So business depends very much on your prices.A: Taking everything into consideration, youll find that our prices compare favorably with the quotations you can get elsewhere.B: Im not sure of that. Before coming to the discussion of price, ma

17、y I point out that we would like to have you quote us on a F. O.B. basis?A: I dont quite understand. For bulk goods such as chemical fertilizers, its the sellers who arrange the shipping space. It is more convenient for us, as well as for you.B: Well, we prefer to have the US National Chartering Cor

18、poration take care of the shipping. It doesnt make a difference to you, does it?A: Well, it does make a slight difference, but well do as you request.- 請(qǐng)對(duì)我們的產(chǎn)品提提意見(jiàn)好嗎？- 我們認(rèn)為你們的樣品質(zhì)量符合標(biāo)準(zhǔn)而且適合我們的需要，但是另一 方面，我們已收到高檔貨的報(bào)盤，所以業(yè)務(wù)能否成交在很大程度上 要看你方的價(jià)格。- 如果把各種因素都加以考慮，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的價(jià)格比別處報(bào)的要 便宜。- 這點(diǎn)我不敢肯定，在談判價(jià)格之前，我想提出，我們希望你方

19、報(bào)船 上交貨的價(jià)格，行嗎？- 我不大明白，象化肥這一類的大宗貨得由賣方安排艙位。這對(duì)你我 都方便。- 喔，我們寧愿由美國(guó)租船公司去負(fù)責(zé)裝船。這對(duì)你方?jīng)]有多大 區(qū)別，對(duì)不對(duì)？- 喔，稍稍有點(diǎn)區(qū)別，但我們可以照你的意見(jiàn)辦。Dialogue 3A: I have here our price sheet on a F.O.B. basis. The prices are given without engagement.B: Good, if youll excuse me, Ill go over the sheet right now.A: Take your time.B: I can tel

20、l you at a glance that your prices are much too high.A: Im surprised to hear you say so. You know that the cost of pro- duction has been skyrocketing in recent years.B: We only ask that your prices be comparable to others. Thats reasonable, isnt it?A: Well, to get the business done, we can consider

21、making some concessions in our price. But first, youll have to give me an idea of the quantity you wish to order from us, so that we may adjust our prices accordingly.- 這是我們船上交貨價(jià)的價(jià)目單。所報(bào)價(jià)格沒(méi)有約束力。- 很好。如果可以，我馬上把價(jià)目單看一遍。- 請(qǐng)便。 - 我一看這份價(jià)目單就知道你們的價(jià)格太高了。- 你這么說(shuō)我很吃驚。你知道近年來(lái)生產(chǎn)成本迅速上漲。- 我們只要求你方的價(jià)格能和別人差不多就行了。這個(gè)要求很合理，對(duì)

22、不對(duì)？- 好吧，為了成交，我們可以考慮作些讓步，不過(guò)要請(qǐng)你先說(shuō)明大概要訂購(gòu)多少，以便我們對(duì)價(jià)格作相應(yīng)的調(diào)整。B: The size of our order depends greatly on the prices. Lets settle that matter first.A: Well, as Ive said, if your order is large enough, were ready to reduce our prices by 2 percent.B: When I say your prices are much too high, I dont mean they

23、are higher merely by 2 or 3 percent.A: How much do you mean then? Can you give me a rough idea?B: To have this business concluded, I should say a reduction of least 10 percent would help.A: Impossible. How can you expect us to make a reduction to that extent?B: I think you are as well - informed as

24、I am about the market for chemical fertilizers. Its unnecessary for me to point out that sup- ply exceeds demand at present and that this situation is apt to continue for a long time yet. May I suggest that you call your home office and see what they have to say?A: Very well, I will.- 我們要訂的數(shù)量很大程度上取決

25、于價(jià)格，就讓我們先解決價(jià)格問(wèn) 題吧。- 好吧，如果你們的訂貨數(shù)量很大，我們準(zhǔn)備減價(jià)百分之二。- 我說(shuō)你們的價(jià)格太高，并不是說(shuō)僅僅高出百分之二或三。- 那么你說(shuō)是多少呢？能不能說(shuō)一個(gè)大概的數(shù)字？- 為了促成交易，我認(rèn)為大約給百分之十的折扣才行。- 不可能，你怎么能要求我們給那么大的折扣呢？- 有關(guān)化肥的行情，我想你和我一樣都很了解。用不著我來(lái)指出， 目前的情況是供過(guò)于求，而且這種情況還要延續(xù)很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間。 我建議你打個(gè)電話給你們公司，看看他們有什么意見(jiàn)？- 好吧，我打個(gè)電話問(wèn)問(wèn)。 Notes1. be apt to 有傾向的2.
