Dialogue 3
A: Good morning. My name is Mr. Brown. I’m from Australia. Here is my card.
B: Thank you. I’m pleased to meet you, Mr. Brown. My name is Kathy Perless, the representative of Green Textile Import and Export Corporation.
A: Pleased to meet you too, Ms. Perless. I travel a lot every year on business, but this is my first visit to your country. I must say I have been much impressed by your friendly people.
B: Thank you for saying so. Have you seen the exhibition halls? On display are most of our products, such as silk, woolen knitwear, cotton piece goods, and garments.
A: Oh, yes. I had a look yesterday. I found some of the exhib its to be fine in quality and beautiful in design. The exhibition has successfully displayed to me what your corporation handles. I’ve gone over the catalogue and the pamphlets enclosed in your last letter. I’ve got some idea of your exports. I’m interested in your silk blouses.
B: Our silk is known for its good quality. It is one of our tradi- tional exports. Silk blouses are brightly colored and beau- tifully designed. They’ve met with great favor overseas and are always in great demand.

-- 佩利絲小姐，見到您我也很高興。我每年出差跑很多地方,但是,到 中國來還是頭一次。你們這里的人非常友好給我留下了深刻的印象。
-- 謝謝夸獎。您參觀過展覽廳了嗎？展出的大部分是我們的產品，比如絲綢、毛織品、棉布匹和服裝等。
-- 哦，對，昨天我去看過。有些產品質量好，設計又美觀。展覽會成功向我介紹了貴公司所經營的各種產品。我已看過你上次在信中所 附的目錄和小冊子，對貴公司的出口產品有了一些了解。我對你們 的絲綢女衫頗感興趣。
-- 我們的絲綢以質量好著稱。絲綢是我們的傳統出口商品之一。絲綢女衫色彩鮮艷、設計美觀，在國外很受歡迎，需求量一直都很大。
A: Some of them seem to be of the latest style. Now I’ve a feeling that we can do a lot of trade in this line. We wish to establish relations with you.
B: Your desire coincides with ours.
A: Concerning our financial position, credit standing and trade reputation, you may refer to Bank of Hong Kong, or to our local Chamber of Commerce or inquiry agencies.
B: Thank you for your information. As you know, our corporation is a state-operated one. We always trade with foreign countries on the basis of equality and mu- tual benefit. Establishing business relations between us will be to our mutual benefit. I have no doubt that it will bring about closer ties between us.
A: That sounds interesting. I’ll send a fax home. As soon as I receive a definite answer, I’ll make a specific inquiry.
B: We’ll then make an offer as soon as possible. I hope a lot of business will be conducted between us.
A: So do I.
