B：We have just concluded a transaction.We'll import three textile machines from Japan.The Japanese party requires a confirmed，irrevocable L/G at sight.
A：I see.What's the total amount of the contract？
B：It's five million Renminbi yuan.
A：That's a large sum.But since you're a joint venture of some scale，you may have that sum，I think.
B：However，we don't have so large a sum on our account with your bank.Can you give us some credit？
A：Well，you may be required to offer some mortgage.
B：No problem.
A：Another solution is that you transfer some money on other accounts to the account you have with us.
B：That is a solution，but I think we would prefer to provide some mortgage.By the way，if you have opened the L/C for us，and we want to change some terms，for instance，the time of delivery，the documents required，can we amend it？Are the formalities complicated？
A：Of course，you can apply for amendment，and the formalities are very simple，but you need to fill in an application form for amendment and pay for it.
B：I see.
A：After we settle the issue of mortgage，you'll be required to fill out an application form for L/C.
B：Can you show me a blank one so that I can study it in advance？
A：Here it is.The form is very easy to fill out，since you have your contract to refer to，but you must be very careful.We'll issue the L/C according to the application form.When do you think is convenient for you to discuss the mortgage？
B：Tomorrow.I'll talk to the CFO this afternoon.The credit balance on our account is about three million yuan，so we'll have to provide two million worth of mortgage.
A：You're right there.See you tomorrow.
B：Thank you.Goodbye.
A：早上好，张先生。您需要什么服务？
B：很高兴见到您，王先生。我想为公司开立一个信用证。
A：您要开立什么类型的信用证呢？
B：我们刚刚达成一笔交易，将从日本进口三台纺织机。日本方面要求我方以保兑的、不可撤销的即期信用证来支付。
A：我明白了，那合同的总金额是多少呢？
B：价值500万元人民币。
A：那是相当大的一笔钱。不过贵公司是具有相当规模的合资公司，我想这笔钱该不成问题吧。
B：对，但是我们在贵行的存款账户上没有这么大笔数额的钱。您能给我们一些贷款吗？
A：那我们会要求您提供抵押品的。
B：没问题。
A：另一个办法是贵公司把其他账户上的钱转到高在我行的账户上。
B：那是一个办法，不过我想我们更愿意提供抵押品。顺便问一下，如果贵阳市行为我公司开立信用证以后，我公司想更改其中的一些条款，比如交货期、要求的单据等，我们能够更改吗？手续麻烦不麻烦？
A：当然可以，贵公司可以申请修改信用证，其手续不是十分复杂，但是需要填写一份修改信用证的申请表，并且支付一定的费用。
B：我清楚了。
A：等我们谈妥抵押事宜后，您需要填写一份为开立信用证的申请表。
B：您能把空白的申请表先给我看看吗？
A：好。你可以参照合同填写申请表，这会非常简单，不过您千万要仔细。我们会根据申请表来开立信用证。您认为什么时候方便讨论抵押事宜呢？
B：明天吧。今天下午我会跟财务处长商洽一下。我公司账上的贷方余额约300万元，所以我们得提供价值200万元的抵押。
A：对，那么明天见。
B：谢谢，再见。
A：Hello.Mr.Tang.Is there anything I can do for you？
B：Yes，please.I'm planning to buy a villa in Sunshine Estates in Hangzhou，but I'm short of money.So I'd like to know something about mortgage loans.Could you give me such information？
A：Yes.Our bank usually lends money on certain conditions.
B：What are the conditions then？
A：First，our bank offers loans to our long standing clients.Secondly，the house you want to buy is less than five years old.Thirdly，our bank generally lends sixth percent of the bank's appraised value of the house on a ten year mortgage.
B：I've been keeping banking relations with your bank since 1980.So I can meet the first condition，can't I？As for the second condition，the house I want to buy is only three years old.And I can agree to the third condition.
A：Very good.So you can fill out this application first.
B：Here you are.What else should I do？
A：Oh，it takes some time to complete a mortgage loan transaction.And here's our mortgage loan booklet which explains all the necessary things.
B：Thank you.
A：Our bank will go and see the villa you want to buy to appraise the value next Monday.
B：Fine，I'll be ready.By the way，what's the interest rate on mortgage loans？
A：It's about one point six percent for a long standing customer.
B：I see.Good bye.
A：Good bye.
A：您好，唐先生。有什么我能为您效劳的吗？
B：您好。我打算在杭州购买一套由阳光房地产公司推出的别墅，但是手头钱不够。我来是想咨询一下有关房屋按揭贷款信息的，您能提供一些信息吗？
A：当然可以。我行通常按照一定的条件来提供贷款。
B：这些条件怎样呢？
A：首先我们只向长期客户提供这项贷款。其实，您所购买的房屋从建成到现在不得超过5年。最后，我们一般只提供相当于房屋评估价格60%的贷款，按揭期限为10年。
B：我从1980年开始就一直与贵行保持业务联系，所以第一项条件我没问题，对吗？我要购买的房屋才建成3年，也符合第二项条件。对于第三项，我完全同意。
A：太好了。那请您先填写一下这张申请表。
B：好，给您。还有什么我要做的呢？
A：那还要花点时间完成按揭贷款手续。这是我们的按揭贷款手册，上面详细介绍了应该办的手续。
B：多谢。
A：我们会在下周一派人去评估您所要购买的别墅。
B：那好，我会做好准备。顺便问一下，按揭贷款的利息是多少？
A：我们对长期客户收取的利息大约是16%。
B：我清楚了。那回头见。
A：再见。

A：Sir.Can I help you？
B：I bought a television set here last week and now it doesn't work.I want my money back.
A：Do you have the warranty？
B：No.I've lost it.
A：Sorry，sir.We must have the warranty.
B：But this is ridiculous.You sold me the set...
A：What is the matter with it？
B：I don't know.When I turn it on，there's no picture.Can you fix it？
A：I'm afraid we don't do repairs here.
B：No repairs？This is unacceptable.I want my money back.
A：We don't give refunds.
B：But this is outrageous！My YOUR TV set doesn't work.
A：Bring the set in and we'll send it to the factory for repair.Without the warranty，you'll have to pay.It'll take three weeks.
B：Three weeks！That just won't do.I'll miss the football finals.
A：We can rent you another set while this one is being repaired.The charge is twenty dollars a week.
B：Twenty dollars a week！That's outrageous！Let me speak to the manager.
A：I am the manager.
A：先生，需要帮忙吗？
B：我上周在这儿买了一台电视机，现在坏了。我想退货。
A：你有保修卡吗？
B：没有，我把它弄丢了。
A：对不起先生，我们必须要保修卡。
B：但是这很可笑，你们卖给我的电视……
A：它出什么毛病？
B：我不知道，当我打开它的时候，没有图像，你能修理它吗？
A：恐怕我们不能在这维修。
B：不能修？这是不可接受的，我想你把钱找回来。
A：我们不会给你退款。
B：太不讲理了，是我从你们这里买的电视机坏了。
A：把电视机带来，我们将送到工厂里修，没有发票，你必须交钱，需要三个星期。
B：三个星期！那绝对不可以，我将会错过足球决赛。
A：当这个修的时候，我们可以租给你另外一台电视机，费用是$20每周。
B：每周20美元！太不讲理了！我要找经理说话。
A：我就是经理。
A： The accounts department is on the phone， asking if you received a duplicator last week. They've just got the invoice for it. Jane， they said that you signed the delivery note， didn't you？
B： Yes. I've got it here in my basket.
A： Silly girl！ Don't you know that's the only proof the accounts department has that the goods were delivered？
B： Sorry！ I'll run up there with it now.
(In the accounts department)
C： Hello， Jane. You're out of your usual territory.
B： I've brought you the delivery note for the duplicator， Mr. Brown. I didn't realize I should have given it to you as soon as it arrived. I'm terribly sorry.
C： Oh， you're the guilty party！ You've had us searching high and low ever since the invoice arrived.
B：The trouble is that I don't know anything about these documents-I thought it was just a receipt.
C：In a way， it's a sort of receipt， but it's also our only proof of delivery. We need to check it against our order and the invoice when it comes in.
B： I won't make the same mistake again.
C： Well， as you're here， I might as well explain the process to you， and yon won't make any more mistakes. Can you spare a few minutes？
B： Yes， of course. I'm sure it'll save time in the long run.
C： Well， now， a company might make a number of deliveries to us during the month， and each one will be accompanied by a delivery note and followed by an invoice. At the end of the month， they send us a statement listing the invoices and giving us the grand total of what we owe them for that month. We check the statement against the invoices， and then I pass it for payment.
B： Is that all there is to it？
C： There are a few more documents involved but they don't alter the basic process. For instance， if we have occasion to return goods or empties to a company， they will send us a credit note.
B： Oh，yes， I got a credit note when I returned a dress the other day to a store. They said I could exchange it for goods to the same value anytime within the next six months.
C： The principle is the same for us. They deduct the amount from our account. Alternatively， if they make a mistake in our account and undercharge us， they send us a debit note which means that our account is increased by that amount.
B： Well， thank you very much， Mr. Brown. You've made it much clearer.
A：会计科打电话，问您是否上星期接到了一台复印机。 他们得到它的发货票。 珍妮，他们说您签署了交货单，是吗？
B：是的。我在筐里找到它的。
A：傻女孩！ 你不知道这是唯一的证明会计科是否交付了物品的证据吗？
B：抱歉！ 马上去那儿处理它。 (在会计科)
C：你好，珍妮。 这不是你的工作区域吧。
B：我来给你送复印机的交货单，布朗先生， 我没想到应该立刻给你，我非常抱歉。
C：噢，原来就是你啊，你让我们从发票来了就开始到处找交货单。
B：问题是我不了解这个交货单--我认为它是收据。
C：在某一方面，它是一种收据，但是它也是我们仅有的收货证明。 当它到了时， 我们应该根据订货单和发票来核对它。
B：我不会再犯同这样的错误了。
C：你在这里，我不妨给你解释一下，这样以后就不会再犯错误。 你能否给我几分钟？
B：当然是。 从长远来看，这样会更节省时间。
C：在每个月，公司都会给我们很多交货单，每个交货单都会附上收据。 在月末， 他们会给我们寄来发票的列表并且告诉我们在当月我们应该还款的总额。我们会根据发票来核对他们的列表，然后就可以支付了。
B：这就是所有的了吗？
C：有更多的文件会被涉及，但是它们不会影响我们的基本步骤。 例如，如果我们有还回货物或者是空还的时候，他们将给我们发信用单。
B：噢，是啊，当我在第二天把裙子还给商店，我就得到了一个信用单。 他们说我可以在接下来的6个月里，兑换任何同价值的商品。
C：跟我们的原则是一样的。 他们从我们的账户扣除数额。 同样的， 如果他们在我们的账户上弄错了并且少算我们的钱了，那么他们会发给我们欠款单，告诉我们我们的账户根据那个数额而提高了。
B：布朗先生，非常感谢。 现在你让我明白多了。
A：Welcome to our company，Mr.Johnson.My name is Yan Hua，the secretary of Mr. Wang.
B：Thank you.
A：Would you like to have a cup of tea or coffee？
B：Thanks，I like Chinese tea very much.
A：Glad you like it.By the way，is this your first visit to China，Mr.Johnson？

A：I think you probably know China has adopted a flexible policy in her foreign trade.
B：Yes，I've read about it，but I'd like to know more about it.
A：Right，seeing is believing.
B：Sure.
A：欢迎光临本公司，约翰逊先生。我是颜华，王先生的秘书。

A：好的，百闻不如一见嘛。
B：对。
A：The North Electric Appliance Corporation，Mr.Brown speaking.
B：Hello，Mr.Brown.This is Miss Li.We've read your price lists.
A：And what is your decision？
B：We think your unit price is 30 yuan higher than we could accept.
A：Oh，I'm sorry to hear you say so.The cost of production has risen greatly this year.And you know，Miss Li，our products are of good quality.
B：I know.We only ask that your price to be reasonable.
A：Well，if your order is large enough，we may consider to reduce our price by 3 percent.
B：I'm afraid I don't agree with you.Since we're going to buy this kind of electric pan in large quantities，I hope you could consider to reduce your price by 5 percent.
A：All right.That's a bargain.You certainly have a way of talking me into it.Miss Li.
B：I'm glad that we've come to an agreement at last.
A：Good bye.
B：Good bye.
A：北方电器公司，我是布朗先生。
B：您好，布朗先生。我是李小姐，我们已经看了你方的报价单。
A：你有什么决定吗？
B：我们认为你们的单价比我们可以接受的要高30元。
A：噢，听到这些我感到很遗憾，生产成本今年涨了很多。你也知道，李小姐，我们的产品质量优良。
B：我知道，我们只是让你们把价格定得合理一些。
A：好吧，如果你们订购多的话，我们可以考虑降价3%。
B：恐怕我不能同意您的说法，既然我们想大量订购这种电饭锅，就希望你们降价5%。
A：好的，成交。你真有一套，把我说服了，李小姐。
B：很高兴我们达成了协议。
A：再见。
B：再见。

A Girl Just Like Mother
No matter which girl he brought home， the young man found disapproval from his mother． A friend gave him advice．“Find a girl just like your mother then she's bound to like her．”So the young man searched and searched， and finally found the girl．He told his friendly adviser： “Just like you said， I found a girl who looked，talked，dressed， and even cooked like mother．And just as you said，mother liked her”
“So，”asked the friend，“what happened？”“Nothing，”said the young man．“My father hates her！”
和母亲一样的女孩
无论带哪一个女孩回家，这位青年人总会遭到母亲的反对。一位朋友劝他说：“找一个和你母亲一样的女孩--那她一定会喜欢她。”于是这位青年人不停地找啊找，终于找到了这么个女孩。他对他友好的忠告者说： “正像你说的那样，我找到一个长相、谈吐、穿着打扮，甚至连烹饪都和我母亲一样的女孩。也正像你说的那样，我母亲喜欢她。”“那后来呢？”朋友问。“没什么，”青年人说。“我父亲讨厌她！”
