Your last email informed us that you could offer us 500 units of a dozen fireworks and 300 cartons of mosquito-repellent incense, which we think is not enough.

No doubt there is keen competition in the market.We do not deny that the quality of Chinese tea is better and no other tea can compare with yours either for flavor or color, but the difference in price should, in no case, be as great as 8 percent. To close the business, our counteroffer is as follows:300 cases of black tea at 25 pounds per kilogram, other terms as per your letter of March 26.As the market is declining, we recommend your early acceptance.Yours faithfully,8.Dear Sirs:We thank you for your letter of July 10th.After paying due consideration to your proposal and investigating your business standing, we havedecided to appoint you as our sole agent for the sale of Gold Brand Bicycles in the district you defined.We are enclosing a draft agreement.

Quotations and sample books will be airmailed to you upon receipt of your specific inquiry.We look forward to your favorable reply.Y ours faithfully,Gentlemen,I have been informed that MARBLE is being imported and used in your country in the manufacture of figures, art objects, architectural ornaments and for many other purposes.There are quantities of this item here, in different weights and sizes, with varied colours and shapes.

All the goods we supply are made from leather of the very best quality.

As our two firms have done business with each other for so many years, we should like to grant your request to lower the prices of our underwear. But there are difficulties. Our cost of raw materials has risen sharply in the past three months and to reduce prices by 5% you mentioned could not be done without considerably lowering our standards of quality. This is something we are not prepared to do. Instead of 5% reduction on underwear, we suggest a reduction of 3% on all lines. On orders of this size we would manage to make the reduction without lowering our standards.We hope you will agree to our counter-suggestion and we look forward to receiving orders from you as in the past.Y ours truly,Shipping instructionsGentlemen,We are in receipt of your telegram of May 6, from which we understand that you have booked our order for 2 000 dozens of shirts.In reply, we have the pleasure of informing you that the confirmed, irrevocable Letter of Credit No. 7634, amounting to $ 17 000, has been opened this morning through the Commercial Bank, Tokyo.

We wish that the shipment will be carried by that steamer.Should this trial order prove satisfactory to our customers, we can assure you that repeat orders in increased quantities will be placed.Y our close cooperation in this respect will be highly appreciated. In the meantime we look forward to your ship advice.Y ours sincerely,。

英国人偏爱使用Dear Sirs，而美国人偏爱使用 Gentlemen。英国人称呼后用逗号或不用标点符号；美国人 称呼后用冒号。这些称呼语看似简单，却绝不可大意。 此时，可以根据汉语习惯进行套译。如果是泛称的Dear Sirs，Dear Madam或Gentlemen，可沿用我国旧式书信的 启事语，套译为 “敬启者”或“谨启者”。如果是称呼具体 的人时，如Dear Mr. Wang，Dear Ms. Lin，正式场合下我们 可用敬称“王先生台鉴”、“林女士惠鉴”。除此以外，类 似的敬辞还有“玉鉴”、“钧鉴”、“大鉴”、“尊鉴”等 。但是，这些汉语旧式书信中的敬称的使用，要根据对象是 长辈还是晚辈等具体情况加以选择。
