仲裁是解決對外貿(mào)易爭議的一種方式。按照國際慣例和我國對外貿(mào)易的經(jīng)驗，買賣雙方發(fā)生爭議時，可能有四種解決爭議的途徑：協(xié)商、調(diào)解、仲裁和訴訟。在我國進出口業(yè)務(wù)中，絕大多數(shù)的爭議是通過友好協(xié)商解決的，但當交易雙方無法以友好方式解決問題時，通常選擇事先約定的仲裁機構(gòu)來對當事人協(xié)商決定。

在商品買賣合同中，一般都制定仲裁條款，其主要內(nèi)容包括仲裁地點、仲裁機構(gòu)、仲裁程序和仲裁費用。

apple of discord爭端，禍根

apple of discord的字面意思是爭端，禍根。弗提亞王珀琉斯（Peleus, King of Pithier）和海中仙女芯提斯（Thetis）舉行婚禮時忘了邀請不和女神厄里斯（Eris）。她深感不快，于是挑起事端。她在婚宴上投下一只金蘋果。上面寫著“獻給最美者”。結(jié)果天后赫拉（Hera），智慧女神雅典娜（Athena），愛與美女神阿佛洛狄芯（Aphrodite）為了得到蘋果而發(fā)生爭執(zhí)。此事導(dǎo)致了漫長的特洛伊戰(zhàn)爭（the Trtojan War）。后來apple of discord后被喻為“不和的種子，禍根”。例如：His great and wealthy enterprise constantly formed an apple of discord.（他龐大而富有的公司時常成為爭論的中心。）

由于即將在中國進行仲裁，所以布朗先生對相關(guān)的情況進行了了解，以便從容應(yīng)對。

A：You're welcome here for consultation.

B：We faxed you our concerns yesterday afternoon, and I believe you understand the purpose of my visit to you.

A：Yes, we studied your fax very carefully, and I think you have known some of the basic working principles of arbitration in China. I'd like to tell you that your case is just within our jurisdiction.

B：Since I'll be the defendant, and the plaintiff is Chinese, and in accordance with the stipulations of the contract, the arbitration has to be taking place in China.

A：I know what you are worried about. To be frank with you, I'd say it's not necessary for you to worry about the impartiality. As anywhere else, facts speak louder.

B：May I have my own lawyer attend the hearings?

A：Of course, it's our right. What I'd like to tell you is you have to prepare all the necessary documents ready for your statement. What we believe in is nothing but factual evidence. I thing you've understood what I meant.

B：Thank you for your kind explanations.

A：歡迎您來這里咨詢。

B：昨天下午我們就所關(guān)心的問題給你們發(fā)了傳真，我相信你明白我此行的目的。

A：是的，我們認真研究了你們傳真的內(nèi)容，我想你也了解中國仲裁的一些基本原則。我想告訴你，你這個案子屬于我們審理權(quán)限范圍內(nèi)。

B：因為我將作為被告人，起訴人為中方，按照合同規(guī)定，仲裁要在中國進行。

A：我知道你擔心什么。坦率地說，你沒必要擔心公正問題。和在任何其他地方一樣，事實最有說服力。

B：我可以有我的律師聽證嗎？

A：當然可以，這是你的權(quán)利。我要告訴你的是，你要準備好所有應(yīng)訴的必要文件材料。我們相信的是事實證據(jù)。我想你明白我的意思。

B：謝謝你給我做的耐心解釋。
