關於商務談判英語對話

　　在我國,對話教學是伴隨新課程改革而出現的一種新的教學形態,在近幾年倍受關注。小編整理了，歡迎閱讀!

　　一

　　R: We found your proposal quite interesting, Mr. Hughes. We’d like to weigh the pros and cons***衡量得失***with you.

　　K: Mr. Robert Liu, we’ve looked all over Asia for a manufacturer; your company is one of the most suitable.

　　R: If we can settle a number of basic questions, I’m confident in saying that we are the most suitable for your needs.

　　K: I hope so. And what might be the basic questions you have?

　　R: First, do you intend to take a position in***投資於……***our company?

　　K: No, we don’t, Mr. Liu. This is just OEM.

　　R: I see. Then, the most important thing is the size of your orders. We’ll have to invest a great deal of money in the new production process.

　　K: If you can guarantee continuing quality, we can sign a commitment for 75,000 pieces a year, for five years.

　　R: At U.S. $1000 a piece, we’ll make an average return of just 4%. That’s too great a financial burden for us.

　　K: I’ll check the number later, but what do you propose?

　　R: Here’s how you can demonstrate commitment to this deal. Make it ten years, increase the unit price, and provide technology transfer.

　　Robert在前面的談判最後提出簽約十年的要求，Kevin會不會答應呢?如果答案是否決的話，Robert又有何打算?他一心為公司的利益打算，極力爭取技術轉移地協定，而對方會甘心出讓此項比金錢更珍貴的資產嗎?請看以下分解：

　　K: We can’t sign any commitment for ten years. But if your production quality is good after the first year, we could extend the contract and increase our yearly purchase.

　　R: That sounds reasonable. But could you shed some light on***透露***the size of your orders?

　　K: If we are happy with your quality, we might increase our purchase to 100,000 a year, for a two-year period.

　　R: Excuse me, Mr. Hughes, but it seems to me we’re giving up too much in this case. We’d be giving up the five-year guarantee for increased yearly sales.

　　K: Mr. Liu, you’ve got to give up something to get something.

　　R: If you’re asking us to take such a large gamble***冒險***for just two year’s sales, I’m sorry, but you’re not in our ballpark***接受的範圍***.

　　K: What would it take to keep Pacer interested?

　　R: A three-year guarantee, not two. And a qualilty inspection***質量檢查***tour after one year is fine, but we’d like some of our personnel on the team.

　　K: Acceptable. Anything else?

　　R: We’d be making huge capital outlay***資本支出***for the production process, so we’d like to set up a technology transfer agreement, to help us get off the ground***取得初步進步***.

　　行至此處，談判都還算是在和諧的氣氛下進行，雙方各自尋求獲利的方案。但針對技術轉移這一項，Robert所提的保證和要求能否消弭Kevin心中的顧慮，而今此談判終露曙光呢?以下對話即為您揭曉：

　　K: If we transferred our technical and research expertise***技術與研究的專業知識***, what would stop you from making th esame product?

　　R: We’d be willing to sign a commitment. We’ll put it in writing ***書面保證***that we won’t copycat***仿冒***the Sports Cast within five years after ending our contract.

　　K: Sounds O.K., if it’s for any "similar" product. That would give us better protection. But we’d have to interest on a ten year limit.

　　R: Fine. We have no intention of becoming your competitor.

　　K: Great. Then let’s settle the details of the transfer agreement.

　　R: We’ll need you to send over some key personnel to help us purchase the equipment and train our technical people. How long do you anticipate that will take?

　　K: A week to put the team together, three weeks to train your people. If so, when do you estimate starting production?

　　R: Our first production run***一批的生產***should be one week after our team finishes its training. But I’d like your team to stay a full week after that, to handle any kitches that pop up***處理突發的事件***.

　　K: Can do. Everything seems to be set, Robert. I’ll bring in a sample contract tomorrow. If you like, we can sign it then.
