Discussion about Inspection 商檢協商
A: There is another point which should be discussed and cleared up. That's the commodity inspection. How will the clause of inspection be stipulated in the contract?
還有一點要討論和澄清，這就是檢驗問題，檢驗條款在合同中應如何規定？
B: The goods under the contract will be inspected by the Commodity Inspection Bureau, at the port of loading before they are shipped and the certificate of quality and quality/weight issued by the Bureau shall be regarded as final and binding upon parties.
本合同項目下的貨物于裝船前在裝運港由商檢局進行檢驗，該局簽發的品質和數量或重量證書為最后依據，對雙方有約束力。
A: Do you mean that you sell on shipped quality and quantity? But what about the case of disqualification or short weight on arrival?
這意思是說你們按離岸時品質和數量賣貨嗎？但如果貨到后發現質量不合格或短貨怎么辦？
B: I can assure you that is not likely to happen. Our goods must be up to export standards before the inspection bureau releases them. And as you may know, the Commodity Inspection Bureau enjoys international reputation for impartiality.
我向你保證不會發生這樣的情況，我們的貨物只有在符合出口標準后商檢局才會放行。你也許知道，此商檢局的公正全球聞名。
A: We have heard about the reputation of both CIB and your products and never doubt them. But what in case there is short weight or disqulification? Would you tell me whether the buyers have the right to reinspect the goods when goods arrive? Are we entitled to lodge claims?
對貴方產品及商檢局的良好信譽我們已有所聞，因此并不懷疑，但是萬一發生短重活質量不符合怎么辦？貨物抵達后買方是否有權復查？我們是否有權提出索賠？
B: Yes, of course. You have the right of reinspection. But for this particular item, we follow the international practice that the reinspection should be made within 7 days upon the arrival of the goods and if any discrepancies are found you may lodge claims with us within 30 days.
當然有權。你方有權復查，但是根據國際慣例，對該商品的復查應在貨物抵達后7天內進行。如有索賠，必須在30天內提出。
A: Well, I suppose I'm clear about this point. Thank you for being patient with me.
我想對這點我已經清楚了，謝謝你的耐心解釋。
B: Don't mention it. That's what I'm here for.
別客氣，我在這里就是做這工作的。
“clear up”這里是“澄清”的意思；CIB是“Commodity Inspection Bureau”的縮寫，意為“商檢局”；“be up to”是“達到……的標準”的意思；
“be entitled to”是“有權利做某事”的意思，例如，If you fail three times, you will be not entitled to try anymore.（如果你失敗三次，你便無權再嘗試了。）
