商务英语口译Unit1 Passage 2
Passage 2Mr. Liu, shall we discuss the packaging now?Sure. Since this is the first time you purchase from us, I'd like to listen to your opinion about packaging for the products.Your products should be competitive not just in price and quality, but in packaging as well. I like the packaging which is novel and attractive. Could you tell me your usual way of packaging your garments when you export them?Actually we keep making improvements in our method of packaging in order to meet the needs of keen competition in the world market. Our packaging now is wrapping each garment in a transparent plastic bag first and then packing it in a small box which is exquisitely designed. The design of packaging has our own style. Our clients from other countries respond that the packaging is very competitive in their markets. As to the blouses you would like to order, we use a polythene wrapper for each article, all ready for window display.That's good. A wrapping that catches the eye will certainly help push the sales. To get an edge over our competitors, we have to make sure the merchandise is not only of good value but also looks attractive.You have got a point here. We will see to it that the blouses appeal to the eye as well as to the purse.I'm glad to hear that. Can I have a look at a packaging model?Very sorry,.I don't have a model at hand. But you may look at the pictures of some packaging models in this catalogue.Not bad. They are really beautifully designed. But perhaps I should say that your packaging lacks a sense of expensiveness. And I think the color of your packaging really should be more eye-catching. My opinion is that the packaging should give the buyer an idea of what is packed inside.That's really a good idea. I'll pass it onto our designers and ask them to improve it.Then what about the packing for transport?For the outer packaging, we usually use corrugated cardboard boxes. They are standard export cartons. We'll pack them 10 dozen to 1 carton, gross weight around 20 kilos a carton.I'm afraid the cardboard boxes are not strong enough for such a heavy load. Could you use something stronger for the packing, say, wooden cases?If you prefer wooden cases, we shall do as you request. But a wooden case is much heavier than a carton, and you may be aware that the ocean freight is by weight but not by size. That is to say, using wooden a case will cost you more. As a matter of fact, we have improved our cartons. Our new cartons are strong enough to stand even rough handling in transit. The cartons are comparatively light and therefor easy to handle. They won't be stowed away with the heavy cargo.Maybe you are right, but the goods are to be transshipped at Chicago or New York. If the boxes are moved about on an open wharf, the dampness or rain may get into them. That would make the blouses spotted or even ruin them.No need to worry about that. The cartons lined with plastic sheets are water-proof, and as the boxes are made of cardboard, they will be handled with care.I don't want to take any chance. Besides, cartons are easy to cut open, and this increases the risk of pilferage.Tampering with cartons is easily detected. I should say that this rather discourages pilferage.Maybe so, but I'm afraid that in case of damage or pilferage, the insurance company will refuse compensation on the ground of improper packaging, or packaging unsuitable for sea voyage.But in fact, cartons are quite seaworthy. They are extensively used in our shipments to continental ports. Never are there any complaints from our clients, and such packaging has also been approved by our insurance company for W.P.N and If you could guarantee compensation in case the insurance company refuses to honor a claim for faulty packaging, we would be quite willing to accept cartons.I'm sorry, but we accept no responsibility for matters that are beyond our functions and powers. We will make sure the packaging is seaworthy, but we can't commit ourselves to being responsible for every kind of mishap.I can understand your position. Perhaps I'm asking too much.We will use wooden cases if you insist, but the charge for packaging will be considerably higher, and it also slows down delivery.Can I get back to you on this later? I'll phone our head office for the final confirmation on the matter.Please do. I'll be waiting for your reply.刘先生，我们现在谈谈包装吧？好的。

Conversation:Meeting a foreign businessman at the airportMr. Wang: excuse me, sir, but are you Mr. Stone from New York?Mr. Stone: Yes, I am Michael Stone, the sales manager of ABC Import & Export Company, Ltd.Mr. Wang: I am Wang Qiang from Eastern Electronics Company.

White: nice to meet you too, Mr. Wang.Mr. Stone: I’m sorry to have kept you waiting for long, but the flight was delayed30 minutes. If it weren’t for the heavy fog, we would have been here by2:00 pm.Mr. Wang: never mind. I was stuck in traffic, too.Mr. Stone: where are we heading now?Mr. Wang: I guess you must be very tired after the long trip, so it is best if we go to your hotel to check in first.

Through beautiful negotiation we finally have all the disputes solved and the contract signed. I’m sure our initial transaction will pave the way for further cooperation between our two companies. We’ve been brought closer to each other by this transaction.It’s essential for us, or for a country, to strengthen economic contact with the outside world, isn’t it?Knox: I quite agree with you. In the long run, it makes sense for a nation to specialize in certain activities, producing the goods in which it has the most advantages and exchanging them for those in which it does not have the advantages.Wang: you seem to be an economist, Mr. Knox!Knox: you are to blame for it, Wang. If you hadn’t started this talk about a country’s…well, let’s drop this topic. Economist or not, I hope business between us will prosper. Then we’ll have more opportunities to meet each other.

商务英语口译unit1 Passage 1
Passage 1I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to visit your company. Just before I left my country, I learned from a newspaper that China's foreign trade has developed remarkably and exports have increased by a big margin this year. Now china has joined the WTO, I'm sure that you have bright prospects. I'm here to discuss with you the possibility of placing your products in our market.Thank you. I think you'll stand a chance of marketing our goods profitably there. As a matter of fact, the export of our products last year reached a record high and we are trying hard to further improve the quality and design to suint the international market. I'm sure you have seen the exhibits in the showroom. What is it in particular you are interested in?Yes, I have. I'm interested in your garments and embroidered tablecloths. We had an opportunity last evening to review your well-illustrated catalogues. I've seen the exhibits and studied your catalogues. I think some of your items will find a ready market in our country. Here's a list of requirements. I'd like to have your lowest quotations.Thank you for your inquiry. But could you give us a rough idea of the quantity you require so that we can work out the offer? You know, the price varies according to the quantity.OK, I'll do that. Could you give me an indication of the price?Here's the price list.Our prices compare very favorably with those offered by other suppliers. You'll see that from the price list. All the prices are subject to our final confirmation, naturally.Do you quote CIF or FOB?All our prices in the list are on a FOB basis.To tell you the truth, we are greatly surprised at your price. We had expected much lower prices.This year's prices are higher than last year's, but our prices are still very competitive. I don't think you stand a chance of getting better price elsewhere.I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I can show you other quotations that are lower than yours.When you compare the prices, you must take everything into consideration. Our products are of high quality, while the quotations you get from other sources are for goods of ordinary quality.I agree with you on this point. I grant that yours are of better quality. But still we don't think we can succeed in persuading our clients to buy at such high prices.If I were you, I wouldn't worry about that. Taking everything into consideration, I can assure you that the prices we offer are very favorable. I don't think you'll have any difficulty in pushing sales.Well, maybe... But it really depends on the price. Is there any commission included in your prices?As a rule, we don't allow any commission. But if the order is a sizable one, we'll consider it.You see, I do business on a commission basis. A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales. Even 1 to 2 percent would help.We'll discuss this when you place your order with us.有机会拜访贵公司，我深感荣幸。
高级综合商务英语2unit1译文
高级综合商务英语2unit1译文哎呀，今天真是个美好的早晨啊！阳光明媚，小鸟在枝头欢快地歌唱，仿佛在说：“早安，世界！”我迫不及待地穿上我的时尚运动装，准备去健身房锻炼一下。
你知道吗，保持健康的身体可是非常重要的哦！正所谓“身体是革命的本钱”，没有一个健康的身体，我们就无法享受生活的美好。
在去健身房的路上，我遇到了一位老朋友，他正在练习太极拳。
太极拳是我国传统的武术之一，有着悠久的历史和丰富的文化内涵。
它不仅能锻炼身体，还能调节呼吸、舒缓压力，真是一项非常有益的运动。
看着老朋友那熟练的动作，我不禁感叹：“真是岁月不饶人啊！”我们都曾经年轻过，也曾拥有过那样的梦想和激情。
如今，我们已经不再年轻，但我们依然可以保持对生活的热爱和追求。
抵达健身房后，我开始了一番热身运动。
这里有各种各样的器械，可以帮助我们锻炼身体的不同部位。
我先进行了一些简单的拉伸运动，以放松肌肉，预防运动损伤。
我开始使用哑铃进行力量训练。
你知道吗，力量训练对于增强肌肉力量、提高新陈代谢率和改善体型都有着非常好的效果。
我们在锻炼的过程中要注意安全，避免过度劳累或受伤。
锻炼完身体后，我来到了游泳池。
游泳是一项全身性的运动，能够锻炼到我们的心肺功能、肌肉力量和耐力。
在水中畅游，仿佛是在与水进行一场亲密的接触。
我喜欢游泳的感觉，它让我感受到了自由和快乐。
在这里，我想告诉你一个小秘密：其实游泳也是一项很好的减肥运动哦！只要坚持下去，你一定能收获理想的身材。
游泳结束后，我去了附近的一家咖啡馆休息片刻。
这里的环境非常舒适，让人感觉仿佛置身于一个温馨的小天地。
我点了一杯拿铁咖啡，慢慢地品味着那浓郁的咖啡香。
在这个宁静的时刻，我想起了那句著名的英语谚语：“Life is like a cup of coffee. It's all about the taste.” 生活就像一杯咖啡，味道如何全在于我们自己的心态。
只有保持乐观、积极的心态，我们才能品尝到生活的美好。

译文 《商务英语》UNIT1 LOGISTICS(物流)
UNIT I LOGISTICS第一单元物流PART ⅠThe Definition of LogisticsPART Ⅰ物流的定义The introduction of Logistics物流简介[Para1]“Logistics” is a term, which originates from both the army an d French. According to the French, the Baron of Jomini, who of Swiss origin who had served in Napoleon’s army before joining the Russians and who later founded the Military Academy of St. Petersburg, first used the term in the early 19th century. So in a m ilitary sense, the term ‘logistics’ encompasses transport organization, army replenishments and material maintenance.“物流”或“后勤”一词其实源于军队，对其词义解释亦有多个不同版本，根据法国人阐述之词义，该词早于十九世纪初被祖文尼男爵率先采用。
祖文尼是一名原藉瑞士的军官，他在投奔俄罗斯军队之前在拿破伦军中服役，其后一手创立“圣彼得堡军事学院”。
就军事意识而言，物流管理―词意即运输编制、军队补给和物料保养。
[Para2] In the business world however, the concept of “logistics” was applied solely to “Material Replenishment Programs” (MRP) and was confined to the manufacturing sector at the beginning. Therefore the extension of the concept to involve company operations is a relatively new one and the earliest usage dates back to the 1950s in the USA.然而在商务界中，“物流管理”的概念仅仅用于“物料需求计划”，并且最初是在制造业的部门开始使用。

高级综合商务英语2unit1课文翻译
高级综合商务英语2unit1课文翻译小约翰，柯夏克已料到，卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。
就在去年8月17日那个星期天，当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时，收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。
柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。
路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。
但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样，不愿舍弃家园，要他下决心弃家外逃，除非等到他的一家人一一妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。
为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策，他与父母商量过。
两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来，住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。
他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理？希尔的意见。
约翰的全部产业就在自己家里（他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。
公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼）。
37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的。
四年前，他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风（那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜）。
不过，当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低，高出海平面仅几英尺。
“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺，，’他对父亲说，“而且距离海边足有250码远。
这幢房子是1915年建造的。
至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。
我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。
”老柯夏克67岁，是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。
他对儿子的意见表示赞同。
“我们是可以严加防卫。
度过难关的，”他说？“一但发现危险信号，我们还可以赶在天黑之前撤出去。
”为了对付这场飓风，几个男子汉有条不紊地做起准备工作来。
自米水管道可能遭到破坏，他们把浴盆和提俑都盛满水。
飓风也可能造成断电，所以他们检查手提式收音机和手电筒里的电池以及提灯里的燃料油。
约翰的父亲将一台小发电机搬到楼下门厅里，接上几个灯泡。

商务英语unit1课文译文及练习答案
课文A世界经济发展世界经济比以往任何时候都更富裕，但是国家内部与国家之间财富显然分布不均衡。
世界上最富裕国家如卢森堡的年人均收入比世界最贫穷国家如塞纳里昂年人均收入高出一百多倍。
国与国之间经济发展不平衡倾向表现各异。
20世纪50、60年代，发展中国家经济获得了飞速而持续的发展。
然而，自80年代以来，除了少数几个主要亚洲国家经济成功地获得快速发展、更多全球开放市场外，其他发展中国家面临了经济不稳，社会福利收效甚微的问题。
全球化并没有缩小贫富国家收入差异。
富裕国家比贫困国家往往能更优先进入资本市场，吸引更多外国资本直接投资，更有弹性地应对全球商品市场。
现在，埃塞俄比亚居民平均收入不及出生于欧洲或美国居民的1/35，而在50年代，埃塞俄比亚人均收入是发达国家人均收入的1/16。
同样，美国目前人均收入比尼伯尔人均收入从50年代的19倍上升到了27倍。
世界上大多数最贫困国家或多或少在某种程度上相对滞后。
尤其是70年代中期以来，发展中国家经济增长进入停滞与不稳定的交替期，只有少数几个发展中国家在最近几十年能持续增长，这些国家中尤以两个世界人口大国中国和印度著名。
中国可以看作是成功进行体制改革的例子。
20世纪70年代后期改革开放以来，中国经济一直保持了高速发展。
除一些社会、经济不稳定因素之外，最近20年，中国经济改革所取得的成就解决了几千万人的温饱问题。
因为没有现存的改革经验可借鉴，中国经济改革的过程被看作是“摸着石头过河”。
实际上，经济发展是改革的落脚点和最终目标。
中国经济体制改革是以全面提高经济效益为目的，依靠发挥个人积极性，培育各种类型的市场竞争。
通常，中国向市场经济的转型过程是个缓慢的经济改革过程，表现在三个不同时期。
第一个时期从1978年至1993年，改革主要是改善激励机制和扩大市场对资源的配置范围。
这一时期以成功进行农业体制改革和双重价格体系改革为特点；第二个时期开始于1994年，这一时期中国政府决定把最终建立现代市场经济体制作为改革目标；最新时期，重点是处理好由于经济增长所带来的地区差异和贫富悬殊。
