总公司说我们最多只能接受60天信用证。
60 days? Thats 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.

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 …

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.

Alright. Do you have anything to say about the outer packaging?
好。外包装如何？
