易貨貿易
[00:02.11]We are sorry to say that we can't import your grain this year because we are short of foreign exchange.
我們很抱歉,今年不能進口你們的谷物了,因為我們缺少外匯。
[00:08.85]That's too bad. Your country is a big market for our grain and so we will also suffer a great loss if you import nothing.
太糟糕了。你們的國家使我們出口糧食的大市場,所以如果你們不能進口,我們的損失也很大,
[00:18.00]Maybe we can find a way out.
或許我們能想出辦法來。
[00:20.38]What do you think of conducting a barter trade?
您認為易貨貿易如何?
[00:23.74]That can be a solution. What commodities do you have to exchange for our grain?
這倒行得通。貴方用什么商品來交換我們的貨物?
[00:30.48]There are so many goods. Our country exports huge quantities of timber, wool, leather and mutton.
那可多了。我國出口大量木材、羊毛、皮貨和羊肉。
[00:39.49]Which commodity would you prefer?
您喜歡什么商品?
[00:46.38]We would like to exchange our grain for you timber.
我們想用我們的谷物來換取你們的木材。
[00:47.75]Excellent. The total import of grain would roughly equal your purchase of timber.
太好了。我們進口的糧食與你們購買的木材是等額的。
[00:52.13]It would be a little difficult for us to sign two contracts simultaneously.
我們同時簽訂兩個合同有點困難。
[00:58.10]We could sign two sales contracts in a month, one for grain and the other for timber.
我們可以在一個月內簽訂兩個合同,一個是谷物的銷售合同,另一個是木材合同。
[01:04.95]Then the L/C should be opened against one another though not necessarily at the same time.
那么信用證采用對開的形式,不必同時開立。
[01:12.02]What tolerance will be allowed for the counter purchase?
補償購買允許多大的差額?
[01:17.52]We usually allow a tolerance of plus or minus 10%.
一般我們允許有正負10%的差額。
[01:22.40]Then we have solved the problem of our shortage of foreign exchange.
我們已經解決了缺少外匯的問題。
