外贸英语函电答案

边距对于给读者留下好的视觉印象非常重要,边距应该产生好的画面效果,左右边距通常为30毫米,简要的信函的边距可以宽至34毫米。

4.第二页的写法除了销售信以外,商务信函通常只写一页,但是有时信息太复杂也可包含两页或多页。

当你需要写的内容超过一页时,第二页的信头可采用如下形式,内容包括收信人姓名,日期,页码。

比如:(2) -Page 2- The Universal Trading Co. Jan.7, 2009“-to be continued-”(待续)这一短语可以加在第一页页尾的右侧,第二页纸张的质量、尺寸和颜色要与第一页一致。

第2节商务信函的格式和信封的写法有几种可接受的商务信函写作格式,其中三种格式是最常使用的:缩格式、平头式和半平头式(或混合式)。

1. 商务信函的格式(1)缩格式信内名称地址部分每行都比上一行缩进3到5个空格,正文部分每一段的第一行也要缩进3到5个空格。

第二章中Letter-2(1)就是采用这种格式。

(2)平头式在这种形式下,每一行都从左边空白边缘写起,但是有时信头可以放在中间。

段落之间有加一空行。

这种风格更加受欢迎,因为它使信件看起来更加平衡,更容易打字。

第二章中Letter-2(2)就是采用平头式。

(3)半平头式(混合式)它是上述两种风格的混合形式。

信内名称和地址部分用平头式,正文中每一段的第一行用缩格式或者反过来。

第二章中Letter-2(3)就是采用这种混合格式。

2. 信封地址的写法通常来说,发信人的姓名和地址放在信封的左上方,收信人的姓名和地址放在信封中央。

信封上的地址可以用两种形式来写:缩格式和平头式。

内容和风格要与信内名称和地址相一致。

平头式:以下几种情形下,信封地址需要加入特别标记:✧如果信件是通过中间人而不是邮政系统传递给收信人,中间人名字后需加“Kindnessof ”, “By courtesy of”, “By favor of ” or “With favor of ”类似的语句。

The courteous writer should be sincere and tactful, thoughtful and appreciative. Another important thing is promptness.3. If conciseness conflicts with courtesy, then make a little sacrifice of conciseness. Generally speaking, you will gain in clearness and conciseness by writing short sentences rather than long ones.4. A business letter consists of eleven principal parts:(1) the letter-head (including the date)(2) the inside name and address(3) the salutation(4) the subject heading or caption(5) the opening sentences(6) the body of letter(7) the closing sentences(8) the complimentary close(9) the wr iter’s signature and official position(10) the enclosure(11) the postscript5.

李蕾商务英语函电课后题答案 5Unit Five Offers and CounteroffersPart Five: ExercisesI. Answer the following questions:1. An offer refers to a promise to supply goods on the terms and conditions stated, in which the seller not only quotes the terms of price but also indicates all the necessary terms of sales for the buyer’s consideration and acceptance. In international trade, an offer of goods is usually made either by way of advertisements, circulars and letters or in reply to enquiries.2. Quotation is not an “Offer” in the legal sense. An offer is a promise to supply goods on the terms and conditions stated, while a quotation is merely a notice of the price of certain goods at which the seller is willing to sell.3. The firm offer means the exporter promises to supply a certain quantity of goods at a fixed price within a stated period of time. The terms such as quality, packing, specifications, and payment must be clear and definite. The firm offer is binding upon the exporter, once the firm offer is accepted by the buyer within its validity, the exporter cannot revise or withdraw it.The non-firm offer is an offer without engagement. Usually, it may contain reservation clause like “The offer is subject to our final confirmation.”4. The validity of an offer means the time specified within which it must be accepted. If it isn’t accepted within this time, this offer is considered to have lapsed.5. A satisfactory offer generally includes the following points: 1) An expression of thanks for the enquiry, if any;2) Name of commodity, quality, quantity and specifications; 3) Details of prices, discounts and terms of payment;4) An undertaking as to the date of delivery or time of shipment; 5) Packing, if it is necessary to mention; 6) The period for which the offer is valid;7) An expression of hope that the offer will be accepted.Without the sixth point, you turn a firm offer into a non-firm offer, which might contain even fewer items.6. A counteroffer is made when a prospective buyer finds any terms and conditions in the offer unacceptable. He will then place before the seller terms or conditions he sees fit for the latter to consider. In such a message, he should thank the seller for his trouble and explain the reason for rejection. Not to do so would show a lack of courtesy.7. When a buyer finds it difficult to accept some of the terms in an offer such as the price, package, he may either demand the seller to make a better offer or modify some terms and propose an acceptance on the new conditions. We call this conditional acceptance. 8. A counteroffer should include the following:1) Thank the seller for his offer (or samples, if any);2) Express regret at inability to accept and give the reason why you cannot accept; 3) Make a counteroffer if, in the circumstances, it is appropriate;4) Suggest other opportunities to do business together.II.

As requested, we are preparing to make shipments by the end of this month and would request you to open an irrevocable L/C in our favor as soon as possible, valid until October 30.As soon as we receive your confirmation that the Credit has been established, the goods will be shipped and the documents will be presented for clearance with the bank.Yours faithfully,Situational Writing 2Dear Mr. Zhang,We are pleased to inform you that a new import license has been granted and that we are able to increase the total amount of L/C No. NBB879 to USD160,000. You will soon receive our L/C amendment advice through your advising bank.As we understand it is impossible to ship the goods before the originally agreed delivery date, we have extended the shipment and validity dates of the L/C to November 16 and 30 respectively. Please refer to the attached copy of our application for amendment to the relevant L/C.We wish to thank you again for your closecooperation, which has enabled us to obtain the new import License in such a short time.Yours sincerelyUnit 8 Other Methods of Payment1.P ut the following terms or phrases fromEnglish into Chinese or vice Versa(1) 承兑交单(2)汇付(3)远期汇票(4)远期付款交单(5)跟单托收(6)未付余款(7)T/T (8) cash in advance(9) D/A (10) to pay in instalments(11) irrevocable L/C (12) bill of exchange2.F ill in the blanks of the following letters with the words given below, and change the form where necessary.1.e nquiry2. prospects3. on4. therefore5. trial6. place7. standing3.C ompare the following two letters and point out why the revision is made so.In the original letter, we can see that in the first passage, there are some parts of sentences that are aloof and distant in tone, and are inflated in style. These chunks of words are: “with reference to your due commission”, “in the amount of” and “indeed”, while in the second and the third passages, there are also some similar phrases like: “At this point…”, “ regarding the above matter”, and “We would appreciate it if you would”and etc. All of them are inefficient in conveying the messagefor being lengthy and roundabout and, what is worse, cannot help build up a desirable tone in the letter.In addition, we find that in the second passage, the author makes the unnecessary suggestion for checking with the bank the address of money order, for the copies of statements and money order can well indicate everything. Therefore, this part can be eliminated from the letter. Otherwise, it would have brought about the negative effect.4.T ranslate the following passages into EnglishDear Sirs,Thank you for your letter of March 10th . We have carefully considered your proposal to receive a trial delivery of our cutlery on D/A, but wish to inform you that to promote business the best we can exceptionally do as a trial will be on D/P at sight terms.In accepting our proposal you assume no risks since out cutlery is well-known for its good quality, attractive design and reasonable price.

From the moment to opening credit till the time our buyers pay us, the tie-up of our funds lasts about four months. Now, it is particularly the case, owing to the tight money condition and unprecedented high bank interest.If you could grant us easier payment terms, it would be conducive to encouraging business between us. Therefore, we would like to propose for your consideration the terms of payment: either “Cash against Documents ” or “payment available by draft after 30 days’sight.”We are looking forward to your favorable reply soon.Yours faithfullySituational Writing 2Dear Mr. Zhang,Order No. 8876Thank you for your order, which has been completed and is being sent to you today.As agreed we have forwarded our bill No 2762 for DM 1720.00 with the documents to your bank, Industrial &Commercial Bank of China, Caohejing Branch, Shanghai.
