商务英语讨论货运
一、询问货运方式：
⏹What shipping methods are available?
⏹What is the cost for each shipping method?
⏹Does that include insurance?
⏹How much does insurance cost for ocean transport?
⏹What would be the earliest possible date of shipment?
⏹Do you think we could get our order by mid-May?
译文：
⏹你们都提供什么运送服务呢?
⏹这两种货运方式分别要花多少钱呢?
⏹这个价格也包括保险费用吗?
⏹海运的保险费用是多少?
⏹最早什么时候可以装船?
⏹您觉得在五月中旬的时候我们能收到货吗?
二、介绍货运方式：
⏹We offer both ground and air shipping。

⏹We also offer next-day air shipping, which costs 10 percent of the
order price
⏹Ocean transport would cost only 20 percent of that amount, roughly
$6000。

⏹Insurance against loss and damage is included in our shipping rates.
⏹Based on your location, regular ground shipping would take four to
five days to arrive, at a cost of 5 percent of the total order.
⏹We're in a bit of a rush for these parts, so I guess we'll have to take
the air shipping.
⏹The $6,000 shipping cost already includes full insurance against loss
or damage in transit.
⏹May I suggest a multimodal combined transport? We could send your
shipment first by sea, and then by rail.
⏹The railway companies often offer shipping insurance that will cover
any loss or damage due to rough handling.
译文：
⏹我们既提供地面运送,也提供航空运送。

⏹我们也提供一日到货的航空运送服务,运费是订单总价的10%。

⏹海运只需要这个价格的20%,大概6000美元。

⏹我们的运费中包含货品丢失和损毁的保险费用。

⏹根据您的地点,常规的地面运送需要四至五天,运费是订单总价的5%。

⏹我们急着要这批货,所以我想我们得选航空运送了。

⏹6000美元的费用已经包含了货品丢失或损坏保险的全部费用。

⏹我是否可以向您推荐联合运输方式?我们可以先用海运发货,然后改用铁路运
输。

⏹铁路公司会提供货运保险,可以对那些由于操作不慎而造成的损伤或遗失进
行赔付。

三、送货时间：
⏹For our timeline, the best option would be to go by air.
⏹For air transport, total transport time would be one to two days.
⏹For sea transport, the goods would arrive at your local port within 30
days.
译文：
⏹由我们时间有限,最好的选择是空远。

⏹空运的话,一两天就能到货。

⏹海运的话,30天之内可以到达本地港口。
