Good morning. I've got the letter of credit from Harwood Outdoor here: forty-eight thousand US dollars, payable at sight. How can I help?
早上好。Harwood Outdoor 开来的信用证我这儿调出来了:48,000 美元,即期付款。需要我帮什么忙?
听懂:letter of credit 信用证 · payable at sight 即期付款
轮到你:说明来意
说明来意:确认这份信用证、金额 48,000 美元,并说想核对几项条款。
你想说的意思:对,就是这份。我来确认一下,金额是 48,000 美元,另外想跟您过几项条款。
- 能说清Yes, that's it. I'm here to confirm it. It's for forty-eight thousand US dollars, right? I want to check some terms.
- 自然Yes, I'm here to confirm the letter of credit. It's for forty-eight thousand US dollars, at sight, right? I'd like to go through a few terms with you.
- 高密度That's the one. I'm here to confirm it's for forty-eight thousand US dollars, at sight, and to go through a few terms with you.
| 值得记住的说法 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| I'm here to confirm … | 我来确认……开门见山说来意 |
| it's for … | 金额是……说票据、合同金额很常用 |
| go through a few terms with you | 跟您过几项条款go through=逐条过一遍 |
Certainly. The amount matches our records. So, which terms are worrying you?
好的。金额和我们的记录一致。那么,您担心的是哪些条款?
听懂:matches our records 和我们的记录一致 · terms 条款
轮到你:改装运期
说清装运日冲突:证上最迟 5 月 15 日,合同是 5 月 31 日,工厂 5 月 20 日才能出货,问能不能改。
你想说的意思:证上写最迟装运日 5 月 15 日,可合同约定的是 5 月 31 日,工厂最早 5 月 20 日才能出货。这个能改吗?
- 能说清The latest shipping date is May 15th. Our contract says May 31st. The factory can ship on May 20th. Can we change it?
- 自然The main issue is the latest shipping date. It says May 15th, but our contract says May 31st, and our factory can't ship before May 20th. Can that be changed?
- 高密度The main issue is the latest shipping date. It says May 15th, but we agreed May 31st in the contract, and the factory can't ship before May 20th. Is there a way to change it?
| 值得记住的说法 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| The main issue is … | 最主要的问题是……先点出重点,再展开 |
| we agreed … in the contract | 合同里约定的是…… |
| can't ship before … | ……之前出不了货说最早出货时间 |
| Is there a way to … | 有没有办法……比 Can you 更客气,留余地 |
I see. We can't change any dates ourselves. Your buyer has to request an amendment through us. Anything else on the documents?
明白。日期我们自己改不了,得由买家通过我们申请改证。单据方面还有别的吗?
听懂:request an amendment 申请改证 · on the documents 单据方面
轮到你:问检验证书
问证里“买方签字的检验证书”是什么意思,说明这个你们自己拿不到。
你想说的意思:还有,证里要的“买方签字的检验证书”具体是什么意思?这个我们自己拿不到,我担心以后会出问题。
- 能说清Yes. It asks for an inspection certificate signed by the buyer. What does that mean? We can't get it ourselves.
- 自然Yes, what exactly does 'inspection certificate signed by the buyer' mean? That's out of our control. We can't get it ourselves.
- 高密度Yes, what exactly does 'inspection certificate signed by the buyer' mean? That's out of our control, so I'm worried it could cause problems later.
| 值得记住的说法 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| what exactly does … mean? | ……具体是什么意思加 exactly 表示要问清楚 |
| That's out of our control | 这不在我们控制范围内 |
| I'm worried it could … | 我担心它会……委婉地提出风险 |
Sorry to jump in. That clause means the buyer checks the goods and signs. If they won't sign, you can't present it.
不好意思插一句。这一条的意思是买家验货后签字。买家要是不签,您就交不了这份单据。
听懂:clause 条款 · present it 交单(把单据交给银行)
And then we'd have to refuse payment. That's my biggest worry: it's completely in the buyer's hands.
那样我们就只能拒付。这是我最担心的:主动权完全在买家手里。
听懂:refuse payment 拒付 · in the buyer's hands 由买家说了算
Many sellers ask to replace it with a certificate from an independent inspection company. Was there anything else?
很多卖家会要求换成独立检验机构出的证书。还有别的问题吗?
听懂:replace it with … 把它换成…… · independent inspection company 独立检验机构
轮到你:算时间
问交单期限(装运后 21 天)和有效期(6 月 10 日)算下来时间够不够。
你想说的意思:时间上:交单期是装运后 21 天,信用证 6 月 10 日到期。算下来时间够吗?
- 能说清About the timing. We have twenty-one days after shipping. The credit ends on June 10th. Is that enough time?
- 自然On timing, we've got twenty-one days after shipping to present documents, and the credit expires on June 10th. Is that enough time?
- 高密度On timing, we've got twenty-one days after shipping to present, and it expires on June 10th. Does that leave us enough time, realistically?
| 值得记住的说法 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| On timing, … | 时间方面……换话题时先点明要谈什么 |
| expires on … | ……到期 |
| Does that leave us enough time | 这样时间还够吗leave=剩下、留出 |
Honestly, it's tight. Your last day for documents could land right on the expiry date. No room for a single mistake.
说实话,很紧。您交单的最后一天可能正好撞上到期日,一点差错都不能有。
听懂:expiry date (信用证)到期日 · No room for a single mistake 一点差错都不能有
I'd suggest one amendment covering everything: shipping date, certificate and a later expiry date. Fewer fees that way. Does that work?
我建议一次改证全部改完:装运日、检验证书,再把到期日往后延。这样手续费也少。您看行吗?
听懂:one amendment covering everything 一次改证全部改完 · Fewer fees that way 这样手续费更少
轮到你:确认改证
确认改证要由买家通过这家银行提出,并问费用谁出、大概几天能收到修改。
你想说的意思:可以。我确认一下:改证要由买家通过你们提出,对吧?费用谁出?一般几天能收到?
- 能说清Okay. So the buyer must ask you for the change? Who pays the fee? How long does it usually take?
- 自然Makes sense. Just to confirm, the request has to come from the buyer through you? Who pays the fee, and how long does it usually take?
- 高密度That works. Just to confirm, the request has to come from the buyer through you? And who covers the fee, and how long does it usually take to come through?
| 值得记住的说法 | 中文 |
|---|---|
| Just to confirm, … | 我确认一下……收尾核对信息的常用开头 |
| has to come from … | 必须由……提出 |
| who covers the fee | 费用由谁承担比 who pays 更正式 |
| how long does it usually take | 一般要多久 |
Yes, your buyer applies with us. Each amendment is fifty pounds, normally paid by whichever side the contract names.
对,由买家向我们申请。每次改证 50 英镑,一般由合同里写明的那一方承担。
听懂:applies with us 向我们申请 · whichever side the contract names 合同里写的那一方
Once they apply, it usually reaches you in three to five working days.
他们申请之后,一般三到五个工作日能到您那边。
听懂:working days 工作日
One last tip: don't ship until the amendment has arrived and you've checked it. Good luck.
最后提醒一句:改证没到、没核对之前,先别发货。祝顺利。
听懂:One last tip 最后提醒一句 · don't ship until … ……之前别发货
没听清、卡住时怎么接?
这一场准备的救场的话:没听清、一时想不起词,先用一句接住,再想内容。
| 英文 | 中文 |

| Sorry, could you say that again a bit slower? | 抱歉,能慢一点再说一遍吗 |
| Could you show me where it says that? | 能指给我看是哪一条吗 |
| Just to check I've got it right, … | 确认一下我理解得对不对…… |
| Could you write that down for me? | 能帮我写下来吗 |
