[01:00.38]史：請(qǐng)您具體談?wù)劇?/p>

[01:04.80]斯：可以，我們操作各類信用證，并且提供相應(yīng)的咨詢-例如建議哪些應(yīng)做不可撤銷信用證，

[01:20.21]史：因此，你們部負(fù)責(zé)確?？蛻艏皶r(shí)收到貸款。
[01:22.70]R:That's where we can help an exporter like your corporate.
[01:24.51]斯：對(duì)，是這樣。我們可以在托收貸款方面為像你們這樣的大公司提供服務(wù)。
[01:26.31]You see, it can happen any time that an exporter has to wait two or even three years before they are able to obtain their money after they ship goods to a buyer abroad.
[01:31.83]你想，有時(shí)候，出口商向國(guó)外發(fā)貨以后，要等到二年，甚至三年以后才能拿到貸款。這樣不愉快的事時(shí)有發(fā)生。
[01:37.36]It could be of any reason. That's why we always hear people say that exporting is easy;

[01:52.16]R：當(dāng)然，我們部并不總是客戶推銷我們的服務(wù)。
[01:54.16]A lot of the time we give advice and solve problems to our customers.
[01:56.82]大部分時(shí)間，我們給客戶一些參考意見并幫他們解決實(shí)際問題。
[01:59.48]H:What's a typical problem that you would expect a customer to come to you about?
[02:01.70]史：一般情況下，客戶會(huì)帶著什么問題來向你們咨詢呢?
[02:03.92]R:For example, just recently we had one with a contract that was signed to supply some machinery to a company in France.
[02:07.91]斯：就拿最近的例子來說吧。我們處理了一個(gè)向法國(guó)提供機(jī)械的合同。
[02:11.89]H:What happened? And what role did you play?
[02:13.39]史：怎么啦?你們?cè)谄渲杏职缪萘耸裁唇巧?
[02:14.90]R:The contract was originally drawn in USD, but the French company was not permitted to cover forward for any length of time.
[02:19.15]斯：當(dāng)初簽合同時(shí)，是以美元為計(jì)算單位的。但那家法國(guó)公司無權(quán)做任何時(shí)間范圍內(nèi)的期貨交易，
[02:23.41]They would have to buy the necessary USD to pay the bill.
[02:25.25]他們又必須買進(jìn)一定數(shù)目的美元付帳。
[02:27.10]H:I see.
[02:27.57]史：噢!
[02:28.04]R:So we bought currency for the customer and our customer could then work out his price in French francs instead of US dollars.
[02:32.01]斯：于是我們?yōu)檫@家法國(guó)客戶買進(jìn)了美元，這樣他們就可以用法郎而不是美元來計(jì)算貨款了。
[02:35.98]H:Fine. OK, I think we've covered everything now, haven't we?
[02:38.07]史：好，我想我倆已談得很詳盡了。
[02:40.16]R:Yes, I think so. It was good of you to see me.
[02:41.68]斯：是啊!很高興您來與我們商洽。
[02:43.21]H:My pleasure. Thank you for answering me so many questions.
[02:45.58]史：我也感到很愉快。謝謝您解答了我不少的疑問。
[02:47.94]I'm sure we'll buy your service in the near future.
