A: Let's discuss the delivery date first. You should offer to deliver within six months after the contract signing./我們首先商量一下交貨期吧。你們應該在合同簽署後6個月內交貨。
B: Yes. /是的。
A: The interval is too long. I'm afraid. Could you deliver the drillers sooner?/恐怕時間隔太長了。能不能快些交付鑽孔機?
B: I must say we can do very little in this matter. But we'd like to hear more from you on this. Then we shall see what can be done./我必須說我們無能爲力。但是我方願意聽取你方在這方面更多的.建議，然後看看我們可以做些什麼。
A: Our idea is that you deliver within three months after the contract signing./我公司建議在合同簽署後3個月內交貨。
B: Impossible! As you know, we make most of the drillers' parts, but a few of them come from another American manufacture. We have to order from them first./不可能!你知道，鑽孔機的大部分零件都由我們自己製造，但也有一少部分是來自另一個美國製造商。我們必須先從他們那訂貨。
A: I see./我知道。
B: To make the parts, they must first get specification and detail from us./爲了製造這些零件他們必須先從我公司獲取這些零件的細節和規格。
A: Right./是的。
B: It'll therefore take quite a long time. I'll e-mail your company for the earliest possible delivery date./所以這要花很長時間。我會將盡可能早的交貨日期通過電子郵件告知你們公司的。
A: Please let us know as soon as you hear from your home office?/你從總公司得到消息後立刻告知我們，好嗎?
B: I'll certainly do that./當然。
