damage 货物损坏《外贸英语》

Damage 货物损失 A: I regret to tell you that quite a number of the records and tapes were damaged. 很遗憾告诉你，许多唱片和磁带都损坏了。 B: I'm sorry to hear that. But the goods left here were in perfect condition. It was possibly caused by rough handling. 听到这事深感遗憾，可是货运走时是完好的，可能是野蛮装卸造成的。 A: Most of the records were either split or wrapped, and many of them were smashed. Besides, I can assure you that there was no rough handling when the goods were unloaded. 大多数唱片或是裂了，或是折弯了，还有很多都碎了。我可以向你保证卸货时绝对没有野蛮装卸行为。 B: Well, as you made the arrangement for delivery. I am afraid I can't help you. 既然是你安排的装运，恐怕这事我没法帮你。 A: Yes, we did make the arrangement for delivery. But we instructed you to wrap each piece individually and pack no more than 10 pieces into a crate to allow for easy and safe handling. But this was obviously not done with the consignment. 是的，使我们安排的装运，可是为了搬运方便安全，我们要求你们把货品单件包装，每一版条箱不能多于10件，很显然你们这批货没有这么做。 B: Have you any idea about the damage? 你知道这批货损失多少？ A: We estimate that about 305 of the goods were damaged. And the shipping charges cost us a lot. We would like either replacements or a 20% reduction in price. 我们估计有大约30%的货损坏了，我们还花了不少运输费用。我们要求换货，或者在价格上减少20%。 B: I admit that we were partially responsible for the damage. So let's meet each other half-way and compromise on a 10% reduction in price on the consignment. 我承认我们对损失负有部分责任，那么咱们各让一半，货价减少10% 吧。 分享到 重点单词 splitn. 劈开，裂片，裂口 adj. 分散的 v. 分离，分 partiallyadv. 部份地，一部份地，不公平地 assurevt. 使确信，使放心，确保 roughadj. 粗糙的，粗略的，粗暴的，艰难的，讨厌的，不适的 reductionn. 减少，缩小，(化学)还原反应，(数学)约分 arrangementn. 安排，商议，整理，布置，商定，[音]改编，改编曲 deliveryn. 递送，交付，分娩 compromisen. 妥协，折衷，折衷案 vt. 妥协处理，危害 vi. lets meet each other half-way 我们各退一步 craten. 板条箱，篓子，旧汽车 vt. 装进纸条箱
