Discount 談論打折
A:Now, let's come to the point. I'm afraid we have to talk more about the price you've offered. Anyway, if you're prepared to give me a 5% reduction, we'd like to increase our original order to 100 sets.
我們言歸正傳吧。恐怕我們還得就你方的要價再談一談。不管怎么樣，如果你打算減價5%的話，我們將原來的訂購增加到100臺。
B:Well, that's really a large order.
嗯，數量的確相當大。
A:It certainly is.
當然。
B:But you know we've never lowered the price that much. You can't expect us to make such a large reduction.
但你知道我們從來沒有降價那么低。你不要指望我們打這么大的折扣。
A:In that case there is no need for further discussion.
如果那樣，就沒有必要再討論下去了。
B:Let's not be hasty. Perhaps it's unwise for either of us to insist on his own price. How about meeting each other half way?
我們不要太著急。我們任何一方堅持自己的價格也許都不是不適合的，各自做一些讓步怎么樣？
A:Well, what about your suggestions?
那么你們有什么好意見啊？
B:We go in for business on the basis of mutual benefit. How about splitting the difference, 2% off?
好吧，我們主張在互利的基礎上做生意，那么我們各自讓一半，減價2%怎么樣？
A:That is hardly half way. Let's both make a further concession, say 3%?
這還沒有達到妥協。我們雙方做進一步的讓步，3%怎么樣？
B:You are really a hard bargain. Are you going to place an order now?
你真會還價。你現在要訂貨嗎？
A:Yes, of course.
是的。
