对话 - 1

A: 3% is too low, I think. You see, we have a lot of work to do in promoting the sales, such as advertising on radio or TV, printing booklets, leaflets, catalogues and so on. It all costs. 3% is not enough. 我认为百分之三太低了。你知道，为了推销你方的产品，我们要做 很多的工作。比如，在电台或电视上做广告，印刷小册子、传单和 商品目录等。这一切花销，百分之三是不够的。

B: Don ' t worry. We ' ll allow you a higher commission rate if your sales score a substantial increase. 别担心，如果你们的销量大幅度增长，我们会给予更高的佣金。

A: You mean to say …… 您的意思是……

B: Now, if you sell US$ 2 million worth of hand-tools annually, we can only allow 3% commission. If the annual turnover exceeds US$ 5 million, you can get 5% commission. What do you think of that? 如你方手工工具的年销量为二百万美元，我们只能给百分之三的佣金。如果年销量超过五百万美元，你就可得到百分之五的佣金，你看如何？

A: It sounds OK. Then how do you pay the commission? 这还差不多。那么，佣金如何支付？

B: We may deduct the commission from the invoice value directly or remit it to you after payment. 我们可以直接从发票金额中扣除佣金，或在付款后汇给你方。
