一．如何表達在漲價前訂貨
        Thank you for your letter of October 10 for business copiers. We are now sending you our price-list and catalog of the newest types that are under production and we can supply at once from stock. 

        We want to notice you that prices of copier parts and components have gone up steadily since the second half of the year. Though we have tried hard to keep our quotations down, we are afraid the margin for keeping on going like this will not long. Therefore, we suggest that you will let us have your order before further rises in costs, which will lead to a raise in prices very soon unavoidably.

        感謝貴方10月10日關(guān)于商用復印機的詢函。現(xiàn)隨函奉送本公司正在生產(chǎn)的、并有現(xiàn)貨供應(yīng)的最新型號的產(chǎn)品清單和價目表。

        我方想告訴貴方，自下半年以來，復印機的零、部件價格一直不斷增長。盡管我方盡量壓低報價，但恐怕有此余地的時間不會太久。因此，建議貴方在零、部件再次漲價，并不可避免地引起成品漲價之前便向我方訂貨。

        二．要求及時供貨 北京報關(guān)員考試
        We understand that you are the agent for the White Tiger ties. We enclose our order for 1000 dozens of the White Tiger ties. Please note that we need these goods rather urgently as Christmas is drawing near. If you could supply goods timely for seasons, we would make repeated orders, provided prices are reasonable. Payment for the enclosed order will be made on a draft at sight under our letter of credit opened in your favor on receipt of your confirmation that the goods are sent out, and can be delivered before 1, December, 2000.

        獲悉貴公司為“白虎牌領(lǐng)帶”的代理商。茲附上1000打白虎牌領(lǐng)帶訂單一份。

        請注意，由于圣誕節(jié)在即，本公司急需這批貨物。如果貴公司能夠及時供應(yīng)時令貨品，而且價格公道，我方將繼續(xù)訂貨。

        此票訂單之貨款，待確認貴方已于2000年12月1日前發(fā)貨之后，本公司即向貴公司開出見票即付的信用證。

        三．回復詢盤告知無貨
        Referring to your letter of 5 June, we very much regret that we are unable to make you an offer for the goods you demand. The reason is that the product you need has been out of stock. What’s more our manufacturers have declined orders because of shortage of raw materials.

        We shall, however, file your inquiry and cable you our offers as soon as we have got supplies.

        我方收到貴公司６月５日來函，但非常遺憾，我方無法對貴方所需產(chǎn)品報盤。其原因是，此貨品在我處已經(jīng)脫銷。而且，由于原料短缺，生產(chǎn)廠家已經(jīng)拒絕了我方訂單。

        我方已將貴方詢函備案，一經(jīng)有貨，我方將以電報報盤。

        四．如何追問買方意見

        In reply to your inquiry we sent you on May 25 a copy of illustrated catalog of our electric products. As we have not heard from you since, we would like to ask whether you have had received our reply and what opinion you have on our products. We are always ready to serve you and should be grateful for your reply.

        在５月２５日我方對貴方詢函的回函中，已寄去本公司電器產(chǎn)品的附圖目錄。因迄今尚未接到貴方的消息，特致函詢問，貴方是否已收到我方回函，并征求貴方對本公司產(chǎn)品的意見。我方隨時愿意效勞，若承蒙貴方惠賜回函，當不勝感激。

        五．如何詢問參展條件

        From yesterday’s Morning Paper we have learned that you are now taking applications from exhibitors for the 2000 Canton Fair. We hope you would send us a copy of detailed conditions for application, such as size of each booth, fees for rent, and time schedule for moving in, etc., as well as the time limit for application.

        從昨天《晨報》上獲悉，貴單位正在征集“2000年廣交會”的參展申請。希望貴方能將展位大孝租用展位價格、進場時間、最遲申請日期等詳細情況通知我方。

        六．如何索要產(chǎn)品目錄

        We get your name and address from your local Chamber of Commerce.We are an importer of plastic products and we would appreciate it if you would send us your catalogue in the new year.

        我方從貴公司的商會獲知你們的名稱與地址。

        本公司經(jīng)營塑料制品的進口業(yè)務(wù)，希望能夠得到貴公司明年的產(chǎn)品目錄。


        七．按樣品詢價 

        We have a large demand for the supply of 50,000 meters brown serge, whose sample is enclosed to show you the shade and quality we require. Please send your samples corresponding to our samples with the most reasonable price C.I.F. Singapore if you can supply within three months from now.

        本公司需要５萬公尺棕色斜紋布的大量供貨?，F(xiàn)隨函附送我方所需貨物的樣品，以示其色調(diào)及品質(zhì)。

        若貴公司能在３個月內(nèi)供貨，請送供貨樣品，并提供新加坡港C.I.F.最合理的報價。
