Unit 5 About Products 产品问题 - B-3
对话 - 2

B: The quantity you ordered is much smaller than those of others. If you can manage to boost it a bit, we'll consider giving you a better discount. 你们订的数量比其他客户少很多。如果你们能试着增加一点数量, 我们会考虑给予适当折扣。

A: As far as a trial order is concerned, the quantity is by no means small. And generally speaking, we like to profit from a trial order. I hope you'll be able to meet our requirements. 做为试购,这个数量绝不算少了。一般来说,试购总应得到些利润,希望你方能满足我们的要求。

B: Well, as this is the first deal between us, we agree to give you an one-percent discount as a special encouragement. 由于这是我们的第一次交易,我们同意作为特殊照顾给予你们百分之一的折扣。

A: 1%? That's too low a rate. Could you see your way to increase it to 2%? 百分之一?那太少了。能不能想办法增加到百分之二?

B: I'm afraid we have really made a great concession, and could not go any further. 恐怕不行了,我们确实已做出了很大让步,无法再增加了。

A: It seems this is the only proposal for me to accept. I'll come again tomorrow to discuss it in detail. 看来,这是我唯一能接受的条件了。明天我再来和你们讨论细节问题。

B: All right. See you tomorrow. 好吧!明天见。
