like to profit from a trial order. I hope you’ll be able to meet our requirements.

a:恐怕不行了，我们确实已做出了很大让步，无法再增加了。
B: 看来，这是我唯一能接受的条件了。
b: It seems this is the only proposal for me to accept.
A: I wish I could cut my price, even as a personal favor for you, but my hands are tied. My money people tell me this is our bottom line.

Sure. I don‘t think I can change it right now. I must talk to my office anyway.
a:等一下，等一下，别着急嘛。我不能立刻更改价格，我得先请示一下我的领导。 B：好的，我希望我们有共同的目标信念。
b: ok! I hope we can find some common ground on this.
A:Well, to get the business done, we can consider making some concessions in our price. But first, you’ll have to give me an idea of the quantity you wish to order from us, so that we may adjust our prices accordingly.
a: 好吧，为了成交，我们可以考虑作些让步，不过要请你先说明大概要订购多少，以便我们对价格作相应的调整。
B:我不知道怎样才能把这生意做成。我们各让一半吧。稍后我秘书会把订单数量报给你。 b：I don’t see how I can pull this business through, Mrs. Wang. Let’s meet each other half way. Mutual efforts will carry us a step forward. My secretary will send you the order quantity. A: OK, no problem.

B：可以考虑，您可以接受付款交单或承兑交单吗?
b: It can be considered. Now what about the payment? Could you accept D／P or D／A?

a: 恐怕不行，通常我们只接受不可撤销的信用证，凭装运单据付款。
B: 您知道这么大的金额的信用证，费用很大，同时积压我们的资金。如果您能接受付款交单或承兑交单的话，我们会很感激的。

A: All right
a: 好吧。
B：我想了解一下你们的常规包装方法。
b:And,I'd like to know your usual way of packing

a: 当然是纸箱了。我们通常还用尼龙带加固。
B: 我同意，包装必须十分坚固，以承受粗鲁的搬运。
