外贸口语一点通第101期:货物装运之装运卸货

 Unload 装运卸货 A: Our offer is New York CIF. Will you please tell us your unloading port, please?

我们报的是纽约港的到岸价，你能告诉我们你们的卸货港吗？

B: Of course. We'll designate Washington as the unloading port, for it's near our customers. What do you say?

当然，我们把华盛顿定为卸货港，因为离我们的客户比较近。

A: There is only one sailing to Washington every month, so it's difficult for us to book shipping¹ space. However, the sailings for San Francisco are more frequent. Could we change the unloading port from Washington to San Francisco?

每月到华盛顿只有一次航班，因此订舱位很困难，但是去旧金山的航班多些，能否把卸货港改为旧金山。

B: In this case, we'd like to accept your proposal to change the unloading port to San Francisco.

考虑到这个情况，我们愿意接受你方的建议，把卸货港改为旧金山。

A: Do you have any more questions?

你还有什么问题吗？

B: No, nothing. You're been very considerate.

没有了，你考虑得很周全了。

“unloading port”是“卸货港”的意思；“book”这里是“预定”的意思，例如：Please book a seat in the restaurant for me please.（请在餐厅为我订个位置。）
