下面这个对话,以上面情况为背景，主角都一样。对话之中两人的谈判出现裂痕，珍觉得没必要再谈下去，打算一走子之。而在这段对话中，决裂前的部分都大同小异，不同的是，这次珍一定跟对方做生意，所以不能说走就走。为了想办法谈成交易，她试着装憨，以下对话从上面的裂痕开始。

Bob:Well,it's the best I can do.

这是我能给你的最好的价格了。

If you want to sell me your DVD players,you need to accept my offer.Do we have a deal?

如果你想要把你们的DVD放影机卖给我们，你就得接受我的提议，可以成交了吗？

Jane:I'm afraid not,Bob.I really don't have any more room to maneuver².

恐怕不行，鲍伯，我真的没办法再降了。

You're going to have to up the price some more,a lot more.

你得将价格提高点，甚至要提高很多。

Bob:Jane,I told you,with business the way it is,the Koreans dumping units in our market,the down economy, our decreased market share in the last three quarters.

珍，我告诉过你，现在业界的状况是，韩国人倾销大量的DVD放影机到市场上，经济又不景气，我们的市场点有率已经下跌了三个季度。

We can't compete if we pay your price.

付你们这个价码，我们就没有竞争力了。

Now I'redemonstrated I'm willing to work with you,and you can say is "take my offer".

我展现出我们的合作诚意，但你还是那句老话，叫我“接受你的价格”。

Bob:It's good offer,the best we can do.

Jane:Look,this is getting us nowhere.

我们这样是谈不出结果来的。

We've been here for more than seven hours and we're no closer to a deal than when we started.

已经谈了7个小时，却一点进展都没有。

I suggest we call it a day,and try again tomorrow.

我看今天就谈到这里吧，明天再继续。

That is if you think we have anything to talk about tomorrow.

Bob:Maybe you're right.

也许你说的对。

Look,this isn't an official offer.

这并不是正式报价。

Like I said,this isn't official but maybe I can come up a little.Maybe as much as twenty-five cents per unit.

就像我说的，这个报价不算正式，也许我可以再多给一点，大概平均提高25分钱。

Janb:Bob,you know I need something more like two and a half dollars.

鲍伯，你也知道多个二块五才是我要的。

That's still way too low.

那（25分）还是太少。

我知道，但别忘了，那不是报价。

I'm not authorized to offer any more.

我没有权限，可以提供更好的价格。
