    A： Pleased to meet you too， Ms. Perless. I travel a lot every year on business， but this is my first visit to your country. I must say I have been much impressed by your friendly people.

    B： Thank you for saying so. Have you seen the exhibition halls？ On display are most of our products， such as silk， woolen knitwear， cotton piece goods， and g.mp3ents.

    A： Oh， yes. I had a look yesterday. I found some of the exhib its to be fine in quality and beautiful in design. The exhibition has successfully displayed to me what your corporation handles. I‘ve gone over the catalogue and the pamphlets enclosed in your last letter. I’ve got some idea of your exports. I‘m interested in your silk blouses.

    B： Our silk is known for its good quality. It is one of our tradi- tional exports. Silk blouses are brightly colored and beau- tifully designed. They‘ve met with great favor overseas and are always in great demand.

    —— 早上好！我叫布朗，澳大利亞人。這是我的名片。

    —— 謝謝。布朗先生，見到您非常高興。我是凱茜。佩利絲，是格林紡 織品進出口公司的代表。

    —— 佩利絲小姐，見到您我也很高興。我每年出差跑很多地方，但是，到 中國來還是頭一次。你們這里的人非常友好給我留下了深刻的印象。

    —— 謝謝夸獎。您參觀過展覽廳了嗎？展出的大部分是我們的產(chǎn)品，比如絲綢、毛織品、棉布匹和服裝等。

    —— 哦，對，昨天我去看過。有些產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量好，設(shè)計又美觀。展覽會成功向我介紹了貴公司所經(jīng)營的各種產(chǎn)品。我已看過你上次在信中所 附的目錄和小冊子，對貴公司的出口產(chǎn)品有了一些了解。我對你們 的絲綢女衫頗感興趣。

    —— 我們的絲綢以質(zhì)量好著稱。絲綢是我們的傳統(tǒng)出口商品之一。絲綢女衫色彩鮮艷、設(shè)計美觀，在國外很受歡迎，需求量一直都很大。

    A： Some of them seem to be of the latest style. Now I‘ve a feeling that we can do a lot of trade in this line. We wish to establish relations with you.

    B： Your desire coincides with ours.

    A： Concerning our financial position， credit standing and trade reputation， you may refer to Bank of Hong Kong， or to our local Chamber of Commerce or inquiry agencies.

    B： Thank you for your inf.mp3ation. As you know， our corporation is a state-operated one. We always trade with foreign countries on the basis of equality and mu- tual benefit. Establishing business relations between us will be to our mutual benefit. I have no doubt that it will bring about closer ties between us.

    A： That sounds interesting. I‘ll send a fax home. As soon as I receive a definite answer， I’ll make a specific inquiry.

    B： We‘ll then make an offer as soon as possible. I hope a lot of business will be conducted between us.

    A： So do I.

    —— 有些看來還是最新的式樣�，F(xiàn)在我感覺我們在這方面可以做不少買賣。我們希望同貴公司建立業(yè)務(wù)關(guān)系。

    —— 我們雙方的愿望是一致的。

    —— 關(guān)于我們的財務(wù)狀況、信用及聲譽，你們可以向香港銀行、或我們的當(dāng)?shù)厣虝�或咨詢社進行了解。

    —— 謝謝你所提供的情況。我們公司是國營公司，我們一向是在平等互利的基礎(chǔ)上進行外貿(mào)交易，我們之間建立業(yè)務(wù)關(guān)系將對雙方有利。我相信業(yè)務(wù)關(guān)系的建立也將使我們之間的關(guān)系更為密切。

    —— 太好了，我會發(fā)一份傳真回去。一收到肯定的答復(fù)，我就提供具體的詢價。

    —— 到時我們一定盡快報價。我希望我們之間能做成很多生意。

    —— 我也一樣。
