Daily Dialogue 日常會話

Payment

Mariah： Well, we've settled the question of price, quality and quantity. Now what about the terms of payment ?

Austin： We accept payment by irrevocable letter of credit payable against shipping documents, prompt cash and spot cash. If it's OK with you, we would like payment prior to delivery, since this is your first order.

Mariah： I understand why you would like it that way, but we demand payment after delivery, because these goods are very expensive.

Austin： I know they are very expensive, but why does that mean you should get arrears before delivery?

Mariah： It's a large order. If we give an advance payment , we will have money trouble, because it will take several months to sell the goods and make a profit .

Austin： I understand, but we must pay to make the goods, and then must wait several months for you to pay, we will have money trouble, too.

Mariah： Let's make concession . We will pay in installments , with the first payment in half a month after delivery, then once a month after that.

瑪利亞： 因?yàn)檫@批貨為數(shù)不小。如果我們預(yù)先付款的話，會有財務(wù)困難，而且賣這些貨需要三四個月才能開始獲利。

奧斯?。?我了解，可我們先花錢生產(chǎn)產(chǎn)品，又得等到幾個月才能拿到貨款，那我們也會有財務(wù)困難。

瑪利亞： 我們都讓一下步。我們就分期付款！交貨后半個月付首期款，以后則每個月付一次。
