拒絕訂購(gòu)

職場(chǎng)心經(jīng)

場(chǎng)景應(yīng)用

由于原材料供應(yīng)不足，無(wú)法滿足生產(chǎn)，從而導(dǎo)致缺貨，所以程先生不得不拒絕了對(duì)方的訂貨。

A：Have you received our order?

B：Yes. But we're sorry that that kind of goods is not available from stock.

A：It is not so urgent. Could you deliver them at the end of this month?

B：While thank you for your order, we have to explain that the supplies of raw materials are difficult to obtain and we have no choice but to decline your order.

A：Oh, thank you. I have to ask other manufacturers.

B：It's regrettable. But I hope we will have the chance of cooperation in future.

A：Me too.

A：你們收到我們的訂單了嗎？

B：是的。但是很抱歉，這種貨物我們現(xiàn)在沒(méi)有存貨。

A：我們不是很著急，你們能在這個(gè)月底交貨嗎？

B：非常感謝你的訂單。但由于原材供應(yīng)不足，我們不得不拒絕你們的訂貨。

A：哦，謝謝。我得找其他廠商問(wèn)問(wèn)。

B：非常遺憾。我希望我們將來(lái)能有合作的機(jī)會(huì)。

A：我也是。

由于紅茶過(guò)于暢銷，所以缺貨無(wú)法供應(yīng)。但周先生向客戶推薦了自己公司的綠茶，并表示這也一樣會(huì)很受歡迎。

A：We've received your order for 40 tons of black tea, but we're sorry to say that it's not available for prompt shipment, as we are out of stock now.

B：Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Then, when can we expect to have the goods?

A：Well, it is hard to say. You know, our black tea has received a warm welcome in the world for its good quality and reasonable price. Demand always exceeds supply. Though we have tried our best to speed up the production, it still can not meet the increasing demand. If you're in urgent need of the goods, I'd like to recommend you our green tea. But I have to point out that even our green tea is limited in supply.

B：But your black tea is familiar to our clients. As to the green tea, can you promise that it can sell well in our market?

A：No, I can't. But I don't think you need to worry about that. In recent years, our green tea has been introduced to many other countries in Europe and has found a ready market there. So, I'm sure it will also do well there.

B：I hope so. But I'm still not sure of it.

A：Well, here is our sample. If you are satisfied with it, you can place a trial order with us. Once we have new stock of black tea, we will let you know as soon as possible.

B：Thank you.

A：我們已經(jīng)收到了你們40噸紅茶的訂單，可是非常抱歉，由于缺貨我們無(wú)法馬上供應(yīng)。

B：哦，太遺憾了。我們什么時(shí)候可以得到貨物呢？

A：這很難說(shuō)呀，你知道我們的紅茶以其優(yōu)良的品質(zhì)和合理的價(jià)格在世界市場(chǎng)上很受歡迎，需求總是大大地超過(guò)供應(yīng)。盡管我們已經(jīng)想盡辦法加快生產(chǎn)，可是依然趕不上日益增長(zhǎng)的需求?？晌覀兊目蛻粽毙璐素洝Ｈ绻慵敝?，我想推薦你們?cè)囉單覀兊木G茶。但我得說(shuō)，就是綠茶，我們的供應(yīng)數(shù)量也是有限的。

B：可是，你們的紅茶對(duì)我們的客戶來(lái)說(shuō)，已經(jīng)是很熟悉的了。對(duì)于綠茶，你怎能保證它在我們市場(chǎng)的銷路呢？

A：我雖然不能向你保證什么，但是我認(rèn)為你沒(méi)有必要擔(dān)心這一點(diǎn)。近一兩年來(lái)，我們的綠茶在歐洲的許多國(guó)家打開(kāi)了銷路，所以我想它一定能在你方市場(chǎng)上站得住腳的。

B：但愿如此，可是我還是不能確認(rèn)。

A：這是我們的綠茶樣品。如果合適的話，你可以試訂一批。一有紅茶新貨，我們將第一時(shí)間通知你。

B：好的，謝謝。
