听力每日练习 listen 2152 Time of Shipment

 
2-- Our factories have heavy backlog on their hands. It's very difficult for them to get the goods ready in March. However, there's another way to make earlier shipment.
 
1-- What is that?
 
2-- To have the goods transhipped at Dalian.
 
1-- Transshipment adds to the expenses, risks of damage, and some times may delay arrival.
 
2-- That's true. In fact, we want to deliver the goods as quickly as possible, so that we can get paid early.
 
1-- So let us settle the delivery in March. And please make sure that no late delivery can be made.
 
2-- I can't say "yes" now. I have to contact our producer to see if they can manage to do it.
 
1-- OK, I'll be waiting for your reply.
 
2-- If we can advance the shipment, you must open the L/C ahead of time.
 
1-- No problem.

译文：

1--我们交换一下有关装运的意见。我们认为你们有足够的时间在3月底前装运。
2--我们的厂家目前交货任务很重，他们在3月份备齐货物是很困难的。不过还有一个办法可以提前装运。
1--什么办法？
2--在大连转运。
1--转运会增加费用和受损危险，并且有时会延迟到货。
2--确实如此。其实我们也想提前交货，以便更早得到货款。
1--那我们就把货期定在3月吧。另外，请保证不要延误交货期。
2--我现在还不能答应，我必须和厂家联系一下，看他们是否能够办到。
1--好的，我等你的答复。
2--如果我们可以提前装运，你们必须提前开出信用证。
1--没问题。
