Time of Shipment 裝運(yùn)時(shí)間 A: Let's exchange ideas in terms of shipment. I think you have enough time to effect shipment before late Match.
我們交換一下有關(guān)裝運(yùn)的意見。我們認(rèn)為你們有足夠的時(shí)間在3月底前裝運(yùn)。
B: Our factories have heavy backlog on their hands. It's very difficult for them to get the goods ready in March. However, there's another way to make earlier shipment.
我們的廠家目前交貨任務(wù)很重，他們?cè)?月份備齊貨物是很困難的。不過還有一個(gè)辦法可以提前裝運(yùn)。
A: What is that?
什么辦法？
B: To have the goods transhipped at Dalian.
在大連轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)。
A: Transshipment adds to the expenses, risks of damage, and some times may delay arrival.
轉(zhuǎn)運(yùn)會(huì)增加費(fèi)用和受損危險(xiǎn)，并且有時(shí)會(huì)延遲到貨。
B: That's true. In fact, we want to deliver the goods as quickly as possible, so that we can get paid early.
確實(shí)如此。其實(shí)我們也想提前交貨，以便更早得到貨款。
A: So let us settle the delivery in March. And please make sure that no late delivery can be made.
那我們就把貨期定在3月吧。另外，請(qǐng)保證不要延誤交貨期。
B: I can't say "yes" now. I have to contact our producer to see if they can manage to do it.
我現(xiàn)在還不能答應(yīng)，我必須和廠家聯(lián)系一下，看他們是否能夠辦到。
A: OK, I'll be waiting for your reply.
好的，我等你的答復(fù)。
B: If we can advance the shipment, you must open the L/C ahead of time.
如果我們可以提前裝運(yùn)，你們必須提前開出信用證。
A: No problem.
沒問題。
“in terms of”是“關(guān)于某事”的意思；“effect shipment”意為“完成裝船”；“make sure”確保完成某事，后面可以接that從句。例如：Make sure that you finish the task on time. （要保證準(zhǔn)時(shí)完成任務(wù)。）
