  3.general idea
  A general idea 概況。(對應(yīng)于詳細情況 :in details,F(xiàn)ull details, all the details, important details, detail information)。
  4.Available
  Available 形容詞available放在它所修飾的名詞前或后都可以,如:Available quantity 或quantity available 可供數(shù)量。在外貿(mào)書信中放在后面比較普通,如:Do you have any sample available? 你們能給我們寄樣品嗎?
  5.Quotation
  quotation 做“報價”解時,常與動詞make, send, give 等連用:Please make (send, give) us your lowest quotation.
  另外,還可以用let us have 的結(jié)構(gòu):Please let us have your lowest quotation.
  “quotation”后面常跟介詞for,然后接所報的商品,在少數(shù)情況下,買方提及賣方的報價時用of.
  向?qū)Ψ秸埱髨髢r時,必用for: Please make us your lowest quotation for Chinese Folding Fans.請報中國折扇最低價。
  提到對方報來的價,即已形成了的報價用of: Your quotation of ChineseFolding Fans is too high to be acceptable.你方中國折扇報價太高,不能接受。
  6.結(jié)尾語
  We look forward to your favourable reply. 盼佳音。通常我們以“盼早復(fù)”“盼佳音”等來結(jié)束此類信件。
  第二課復(fù)習(xí)重點
  1.Quote
  與quotation 相對應(yīng)的動詞是 quote.
  做報價解時的基本結(jié)構(gòu)是:quote sb a price for sth: Please quote us your lowest price for walnuts.請向我方報核桃價。
  有時不說以介詞for短語表示的商品,就成為quote sb a price: Please quote us your lowest price. 請向我方報最低價。
  有時只要直接賓語,而省略其它部分就成為quote a price: Please quote your lowest price.
  2.Happen to
  這一結(jié)構(gòu)和動詞連用,可以用來強調(diào)一件事是偶然發(fā)生的。如:I happen to know your are wrong.
  但這一結(jié)構(gòu)和名詞連用,則表示“臨到……頭上”。如:If anything happens to him, let me know. 如果他遭到什么意外,請通知我。
  另外,happen to 也常與if 與should連用。If (Should) you happen to pass a breaker's, pick me up a brown loaf, would you? 如果你碰巧經(jīng)過面包店,請給我?guī)б粋黑面包。
  3.Desire
  desire n./v. 期望,渴望;要求,請求(比wish強烈)
  4.Information
  Information n. 消息,報道(不可數(shù)名詞,后常接介詞on或about, 也可以接regarding或concerning)We shall be glad to receive more information on (or: about) this matter. 我們愿得到有關(guān)此事的更多的消息。
  All necessary information 一切必要的情況。此句中提到的catalog 與sample books 在商業(yè)書信中都屬于information的范圍。
  Catalogue n. 目錄(本)[目錄本適用于一般商品,列名詳細規(guī)格及商品號碼等,有繪畫、照片或圖表者,稱為illustrated catalogue.
  單頁的商品說明書稱為leaflet. Sample books 樣品本 [把布匹、紙張等各種花樣,圖案的小塊剪樣(sample cuttings)裝訂成一本,注明商品號碼,稱為樣品本,寄供客戶選購之用。
  5.Acquaint
  so as to acquaint us with the material and workmanship of your supplies. 以便我公司熟悉你公司供貨的質(zhì)地和工藝。Acquaint sb. with sth. 等于 inform sb of sth; tell sb sth.
  6.Supply
  supply 可以用作名詞,也可以用作動詞。
  Supply 作名詞用時表示“供應(yīng)”或“供應(yīng)的貨物”。
  在使用中要注意:
  a.作名詞用: 表示抽象的概念以及一些習(xí)語中時,常用單數(shù):Supply now exceeds demand on our market.目前我方市場供過于求。The goods are in short (scarce, light, free, abundant, ample) supply. 該貨現(xiàn)供應(yīng)短缺(稀少,量少,量大,豐富,充分)。
  表示具體概念時,用單復(fù)數(shù)都可以:We are replenishing supply (or: supplies )。 我們正在補充貨源。 Buyers require additional supply (or: supplies) of wood oil. 買主要求再供應(yīng)些桐油。
  b.作動詞用:要注意句型:- We can supply you with all kinds of leather shoes. - We can supply all kinds of leather shoes. - We believe we shall be able to supply your requirements.
  7.Intend
  intend 打算,是正式用語, 指“心里已有做某事的目標(biāo)或計劃”, 含有“行動堅決”之意, 如: I intended to write to you.我要給你寫信。
  mean 也含有“想做某事”的意思,可與 intend互換, 但強調(diào)“做事的意圖”, 較口語化, 如: I mean to go to bed earlier tonight.今晚 我想早些睡覺。
  另外類似的詞還有propose,指“公開明確地提出自已的目的或計劃”, 如:I proposed to speak for an hour.我想講一小時。
  8.Appreciate
  appreciate指對…表示感激、感謝。如:I really appreciate your help.我真的很感激你的幫助。
  第三課復(fù)習(xí)重點
  1.under separate cover
  under separate cover表示“另封郵寄”,對應(yīng)于enclose.
  Enclose表示“隨函附寄”。除了under separate cover 還可以用by separate mail, by separate post ; 或by another mail, by another post
  注意:這幾個詞意思完全一樣,但搭配不同。
  2.Offer
  在國際貿(mào)易中,可作報價解的除quote與quotation外,還有一個常用詞,即offer.
  Offer作報盤解時,既可作名詞用,也可作動詞用。
  Offer作名詞用時,常與動詞make, send, give等連用,后接介詞for或on, 或of, 接 for最普通,接on較少見,買方提及賣方的報盤時,即說到對方已報某貨的盤或某數(shù)量的盤時,常用of.如:Please make (send, give) us an offer for (或 on) Walnuts. Your offer of wood oil is too high.(當(dāng)然,在這若用for或on也對,但用of較好)。
  Offer做動詞時,可以不及物,如: We will offer as soon as possible. 我方將盡早報盤。也可以及物。
  作及物動詞用時,賓語可以是人,可以是物,也可以有雙賓語。
  We hope to be able to offer you next week. 我們希望能于下周某一天向你方報盤。
  We can offer various kinds of cotton piece goods. 我們能報盤各式各樣的棉布。
  We can offer you Iron Nails at attractive prices. 我們能以具有吸引力的價格向你報盤鐵釘。
  嚴格講quote/quotation 與 offer不同,quote/quotation是報價,指某一商品的單價,offer是報盤,除單價外,還包括數(shù)量,交貨期,付款方式等等。
  另外,offer比較固定,賣方價格報出后,一般不能輕易變動,而quote/quotation則不同,賣方報價后,不受約束,可以根據(jù)情況略加調(diào)整。盡管有區(qū)別,但各國商人則往往把這兩個詞混用。這一點要特別注意。
  另外,在使用時,還應(yīng)注意下列習(xí)慣用法:Please offer us 500 Bicycles CIF London. Please quote us your lowest price for 500 Bicycles CIF London.
  注意:動詞quote 的基本用法:to quote sb. a price for sth. 動詞 offer 的基本用法:to offer sb. sth.
  3.In due course
  in due course 是商業(yè)書信中的成語,有時用副詞duly,意指情況正常按時到達。
  4.At seller‘s/buyer’s option
  at seller‘s option 表示由賣方?jīng)Q定,而at buyer’s option 則表示由買方?jīng)Q定。
  5.Acceptable,Accept, Acceptance
  acceptable 是形容詞,可接受的;accept是動詞,接受;acceptance是名詞,接受。
  在報盤有效期內(nèi)接受報盤的全部條款,達成交易。我們就說:We accept your offer of 2 000 kilos black tea. 或:We confirm our acceptance of your offer of …
  若買方只是說:Your offer is acceptable. We are accepting your offer.都不應(yīng)理解為業(yè)務(wù)已經(jīng)成交,對此必須特別注意,以免在實際業(yè)務(wù)中發(fā)生誤會。
  6.conformation
  confirmation 是名詞,表示確認。
  第四課復(fù)習(xí)重點
  1.to be indebted to somebody for something
  to be indebted to somebody for something 是這種句式基本語序,但在實踐中,如果somebody是一個比較長的短語,為了使整個句子讀起來更通順,更容易理解,就可以把它挪到句尾:to be indebted to somebody for something.
  如本課 We are indebted for your address to the Commercial Counselor's Office of the Algerian Embassy in Beijing. 我們得知你公司的地址,要感謝阿爾及利亞駐北京大使館商贊處。在這里,要感謝的人是the Commercial Counselor's Office of the Algerian Embassy in Beijing. 阿爾及利亞駐北京大使館商贊處,這是個比較長的短語,所以放在句尾。
  2.inform/advise
  They have informed us that……該處已經(jīng)告知我們……
  Inform 做通知講時,可與advise換用。
  常用結(jié)構(gòu):
  a. 賓語后接of短語: in form (advise) somebody of something. 不過近來國外來信有省略介詞of的現(xiàn)象。We shall in form (advise) you (of) the date of shipment.我們將把裝運日期通知你方。
  b. 賓語后接從句 inform (advise) somebody + that/what/which: We wish to inform (advise) you that business has been done at US$110 per metric ton. 我們已經(jīng)以每公噸110美元的價格成交,特此告知。
  c.茲通知(你們)……Please be informed (advised) that……: Please be informed (advised) that we have already sent the samples requested. 茲通知你方,我方已經(jīng)將所索樣品寄出。
  注意:如果省略賓語(人稱代詞)則不宜使用inform.如:Please advise the name of steamer. 請告知船名。Please advise what quantity you can sell a year.請告知每年可銷售的數(shù)量。在這種情況下,不能用inform,只能用advise.
  3.in the market for something
  in the market for something 是書面語言,表示想買進某物。如課文中:You are in the market for Chemicals. 你公司要購買化工產(chǎn)品。
  除此以外,in the market for something 也可以引申于“樂于接受某物”。如:I'm always in the market for good new ideas.我總是樂于接受有益的新建議。
  in the market 是想要買(或賣)的意思。如:Please advise us when you are in the market.當(dāng)你們想要買(或賣)時,請告知我們。
  In the market 還可以做“上市,出售,可以買到”解,同on the market可以相互替代。
  如:This is the best article on the market.這是市場上可以買到的最好的商品。
  又如:The article will be on the market.商品本周就會上市。
  其他一些在商業(yè)中會用到的market詞組:
  at the market 主要用于交易所,意思是:照市價,照當(dāng)前最好的行情。
  bring to market, put on the market, come into the market 都可以用來表示:在市場上出售,投放市場。如:The new color TV will come into the market soon. 新型彩色電視機不久將投放市場。
  lose one's market 失去做買賣的機會。如:We don't want to lose our market by sticking to have it at the market price. 我們不想因為堅持按市價購進而失去做買賣的機會。
  price out of the market (商品)定價過高而無人購買。如:If you don't accept a low profit, you'll price yourself right out of the market. 如果你不同意降低利潤,就只有漫天要價無人問津了。
  4.Enclose
  enclose 是動詞,表示“封入”。商業(yè)信件中常有在 enclose后加herewith的,如We enclose herewith a copy of our price list. 但最好不用,因enclose與herewith在意義上重復(fù)。
  表示附在某封信內(nèi),用介詞with 或 in: Please refer to the price list enclosed with (or: in) our letter of August 5. 請查閱8月5去信所附的價目表。
  過去分詞enclosed作表語時,常倒裝置于句首。如A copy of our Export List are enclosed.
  在課文中將enclosed 倒裝:Enclosed herewith is a copy of our Export List 現(xiàn)隨函附寄我公司出口商品表一份。
  過去分詞enclosed作賓語補足語時,也常倒裝置于句首或置于謂語動詞之后:Enclosed please find a copy of our price list. (或 Please find enclosed a copy of our price list.) 隨函附寄我公司價目表一份。
  過去分詞enclosed可作名詞,前面加定冠詞:We believe you will find the enclosed interesting. 我們相信你們對所附之件會感興趣。
  5.Requirements
  requirement 表示需要時,常用單數(shù),后接介詞of: We have noted your requirement of samples and catalogues.我們已經(jīng)注意到你們需要樣品和商品目錄。
  表示需要的貨物或需要量時常用復(fù)數(shù),后接介詞for或of: We can meet your requirements for Walnut meat.我們可以滿足你方對核桃仁的需要。Please let us know your annual requirements of Walnuts.請告知你方對核桃的年需求量。
  注意:表示滿足需要,除meet外,還可以用satisfy, fill, supply 等動詞。
  6.Promote
  to promote both business and friendship促進業(yè)務(wù)和友誼;
  可替代的用法是:to promote friendship as well as business .
  7.trade in 和trade with
  in our trade with customers in the Asian-African countries我們在同亞非國家的客戶進行貿(mào)易時;
  trade 做動詞用時,表示“從事貿(mào)易,做生意,經(jīng)營”。
  注意:和某人做貿(mào)易接with, 經(jīng)營某項商品接in. 如:They trade mainly in cotton piece goods.他們主要經(jīng)營棉布。
