A： Now we've given a CIF. Shanghai price for some steel plates. What insurance rate do you suggest we should get？

B：因为他们不是针对货物的并且不太可能在途中被损坏。我认为FPA就足够了。
A：那我可以理解为FPA并不包括特别是平均性质的部分损失，对吗？
B：说得很对。在另一方面，WPA的政策，包括在所有情况下的部分损失。
A：在海洋政策方面是否有任何其他规定？
B：哦，那太多了！例如，战争风险，TPND和SRCC。
A：好的，谢谢你提供的信息。你现在能不能给我一个寄售的报价？
B：你今天要邀约吗？
A：是的，我的客户正急需钢盘。
B：好的。
A：谢谢。
B：当然。
A：What coverage will you take out for the goods I've ordered？
B： Did we conclude the business on CIF basis？
A： Yes， CIF.
B： Then we'll only insure WPA.

Hospitality
The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving an apple pie without any cheese. The little boy of the family left the room quietly for a moment and returned with a piece of cheese which he laid on the guest's plate. The visitor smiled， put the cheese into his mouth and then said： “You must have better eyes than your mother， sonny. Where did you find the cheese？” “In the rat trap， sir，” replied the boy.
好客
由于客人在吃苹果馅饼时，家里没有奶酪了，于是女主人向大家表示歉意。这家的小男孩悄悄地离开了屋子。过了一会儿，他拿着一片奶酪回到房间，把奶酪放在客人的盘子里。 客人微笑着把奶酪放进嘴里说：“孩子，你的眼睛就是比你妈妈的好。你在哪里找到的奶酪？” “在捕鼠夹上，先生。”那小男孩说。
