这一场在哪里,发生了什么?

周二上午 10 点,伦敦金融城一家银行的贸易融资柜台(提前约好的面谈)

你是一家中国外贸公司的业务员。英国买家 Harwood Outdoor 刚通过这家银行开来一份信用证,货是 2000 套户外折叠椅。你发现最迟装运日、单据要求和合同谈的不一样,今天当面来问清楚:贸易融资专员 Helen 接待你,单据审核主管 Graham 在旁边,时不时提醒风险。

和谁对话?

Helen
英国口音。贸易融资专员,专业细致,说话一板一眼
Graham
英国口音。单据审核主管,经验老到,偶尔插话提醒风险

你要做到什么?

确认信用证和金额 48,000 美元;说清装运日的冲突并问能不能改;问清“买方签字的检验证书”是什么意思、有什么风险;算清交单期和有效期够不够;确认改证由谁提出、费用谁出、几天能到。

这一场轮到你开口 5 次:

  1. 说明来意
  2. 改装运期
  3. 问检验证书
  4. 算时间
  5. 确认改证

全文:这一场怎么说?

Helen

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
Helen

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
Helen

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
Graham

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)

Graham

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

Helen

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
Graham

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

Helen

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
Helen

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

Helen

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

Graham

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
