　　I hope so. too. But I still think the provision of arbitration is of great importance to both of us. 我也希望如此，但我仍认为仲裁条款确实对我们双方都非常重要。

　　All right. I agree with you. But where do we hold arbitration？ 好的，我同意你的看法但我们在哪一国进行仲裁呢?

　　I suggest the arbitration be held in a third country. 我建议在第三国进行仲裁。

　　It sounds reasonable. The clause should be like this: any disputes arising from the execution of this contract shall be settled in a friendly way. 这很合理。条款应这么写：合同执行过程中出现的任何争执都应通过友好方式加以解决。

　　If no settlement can be reached through consultation⁴ and conciliation⁵, the disputes shall be submitted for arbitration by a mutually nominated arbitrator. 如果无法通过调节协商解决，应提交由双方指定的仲裁人加以裁定。
