1.Buyer: How are you Mr. Wang? Glad to hear you again. We've settled the questions of price, quality and quantity. Now what about the terms of payment?

　　王先生，最近怎么样?很高兴再次和你通话。我们已经谈妥了价格，质量和数量的问题，该谈谈付款方式了吧?

　　2.SELLER: Morning, Mr. Smith. Thanks for calling me for payment negotiation.

　　早上好，史密斯先生。谢谢你为了这件事来电。

　　3.BUYER: Do you accept D/A or D/P?

　　承兑交单或付款交单的方式可以吗?

　　4.SELLER: Sorry. We only accept irrevocable Letter of Credit payable against shipping documents.

　　对不起，我们只接受不可撤销信用证的方式，见票付款。

　　5.BUYER: I see. But as you know, the Western market has been declining recently. Business is not easy as it used to be. As an old client of yours, I think we should enjoy your special treatment. I hope you would allow us to pay by D/A or D/P.

　　我明白。但你也知道，西方市场最近持续萎靡，生意不像之前那么好做了。我们也是贵公司的老主顾了，总该得到一点特殊对待吧。希望贵公司能同意以承兑交单或付款交单的方式付款。

　　6.SELLER: I understand your situation, Mr. Smith. As you pointed out, the Western economy is going down; the international financial market is not stable. To be on the safe side, we can't make exceptions.

　　我理解贵公司的处境，但你刚刚也说了，西方经济在逐步下滑;国际金融市场也处于不稳定的状态，为了安全起见，我们还是不能例外。

　　7.BUYER: It will increase our expenses to open the L/C and tie up our funds.

　　开信用证会增加我们的成本，这样我们的资金会更加紧张。

　　8.SELLER: Dear Mr. Smith, as one of our old customers, you know well that Chinese kites have enjoyed a good reputation in your market and will be selling well. The quick turnover will not only free your cost on L/C, but also benefit you a lot.

　　亲爱的史密斯先生，您作为我们的老主顾，应该很清楚我们中国的风筝质量在贵国市场上的声誉，肯定会畅销的。这不仅仅能缓解你开信用证的资金压力，也能大赚一笔呢。

　　9.BUYER: Your words sound OK, but we still feel that to pay by L/C is not reasonable, especially at present when the world market is inactive. In order to conclude this transaction, we both need to make some concessions. How about 50% by L/C, 50% by D/P? Otherwise we might turn to other suppliers.

　　你说的很有道理，但是我们还是觉得用信用证的方式付款不合理，尤其是在现在世界经济不活跃的情况下。为了谈成这笔生意，我们双方都需要做一些让步。一半用信用证一半用承兑怎么样?如果不行的话我们只能找别家了。

　　10.SELLER: Mr. Smith, as I said, we only accept L/C. Since you are our old customer and your order is quite large, how about 70% by L/C and 30% by D/P? This is not our normal practice. If you agree, we can make the deal. If not, I can't do anything else.

　　史密斯先生，我刚刚说过了，我们是非信用证不接受的。看在您是我们老主顾的份上，也看在您定了这么大量商品的份上，70%用信用证，30%用承兑汇票怎么样?我们这么做可算是例外了。如果你同意，那我们就成交，如果你不同意，那我也无能为力了。
