轮到你:讲数字
讲清 40 尺柜运费从 2,800 涨到 4,100 美元,CIF 单价每件涨约 0.45 美元,出厂价没变。
你想说的意思:宁波出发的 40 尺柜运费从 2,800 美元涨到 4,100 美元,摊到每件,CIF 大概涨 0.45 美元。我们的出厂价没变。
- 能说清A 40-foot container was 2,800 dollars. Now it's 4,100. So our CIF price goes up 45 cents a piece. Our factory price is the same.
- 自然Freight for a 40-foot container from Ningbo has gone up from 2,800 to 4,100 dollars. That works out to about 45 cents more per piece on CIF. Our factory price hasn't changed.
- 高密度Freight on a 40-foot container from Ningbo has jumped from 2,800 to 4,100 dollars. Spread over about 2,900 pieces, that works out to roughly 45 cents a piece on CIF. Our factory price hasn't changed at all.

| has jumped from … to … | 从……猛涨到……比 gone up 语气更强 |

听懂:writing that down 记下来 · orders we're discussing now 正在谈的订单
轮到你:说生效日
说明新价格 11 月 1 日起生效,10 月 31 日前确认的订单按老价格。
你想说的意思:新价格 11 月 1 日起生效。10 月 31 日前确认的订单,都按老价格。
- 能说清The new price starts on November 1st. Orders confirmed by October 31st keep the old price.
- 自然The new prices kick in on November 1st. Any order confirmed by October 31st stays at the old price.
- 高密度The new prices kick in on November 1st, but anything confirmed by October 31st is locked in at the old price, so there's still a window.

说实话,这时机太糟了。我们月底就要定下个季度的预算。
听懂:the timing's awful 时机太糟 · next quarter's budget 下个季度的预算
Can't the factory take half of it? Or is this take it or leave it?
工厂不能承担一半吗?还是说要么接受要么拉倒?
听懂:take half of it 承担一半 · take it or leave it 要么接受,要么拉倒
轮到你:给替代方案
委婉说明工厂没法分担,再给两个方案:改 FOB 由他们的货代订舱,或把两个小单拼成一个整柜摊薄运费。
你想说的意思:不是非此即彼。运费我们自己扛不了,但可以改成 FOB,让你们自己的货代订舱;或者把两个小单合成一个整柜,摊薄运费。
- 能说清It's not take it or leave it. We can't pay half. You can buy FOB and use your own forwarder. Or we put two small orders in one full container.
- 自然It's not take it or leave it. We can't really absorb it, but we could switch to FOB, and your forwarder books the ship. Or we combine two smaller orders into one full container.
- 高密度It's not take it or leave it. We can't absorb the freight ourselves, but we could switch to FOB and let your own forwarder book it, or combine two smaller orders into one full container to spread the cost.
| 值得记住的说法 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| It's not take it or leave it | 不是非此即彼直接回应对方的话,缓和气氛 |

But combining orders only works if both are ready to ship around the same time.
不过拼单只有在两张单差不多同时能出货时才行。
听懂:combining orders 拼单 · ready to ship 可以出货
Okay. I'm not agreeing to anything today. I want it in writing, and we have to decide by Friday anyway.
好吧。今天我什么都不答应。我要书面的,反正我们周五前也得定下来。
听懂:in writing 书面的 · decide by Friday 周五前做决定

答应会后把新旧报价对比表发给两位,并说周五前等他们的决定。
你想说的意思:没问题。会后我马上把新旧报价对比表发邮件给两位,两个方案也算好,周五前等你们的答复。
- 能说清Of course. After the call, I'll email you a table. It shows old and new prices. Please reply by Friday.
- 自然Of course. I'll send you both a side-by-side of the old and new quotes right after the call, and I'll wait to hear from you by Friday.
