[00:02.04]A quotation is a promise to supply goods on the terms stated .It is taken as a non-firm offer.
[00:06.43]報(bào)價(jià)是一種按約定條件供貨的承諾,被認(rèn)為是一種虛盤(pán)。
[00:10.81]he prospective buyer is under no oblugation to buy the goods for which a quotation is requested,
[00:13.88]請(qǐng)求報(bào)價(jià)之后,未來(lái)買(mǎi)主沒(méi)有義務(wù)非買(mǎi)不可,
[00:16.95]while the seller is not bound to sell what has been previously quoted if he later decides not to do.
[00:20.06]如果賣(mài)方后來(lái)決定不賣(mài),他也沒(méi)有義務(wù)一定賣(mài)以前報(bào)過(guò)價(jià)的商品。
[00:23.17]A quotation in not legally binding thought it contains some qualifying words which function as firm offer do.
[00:27.79]報(bào)價(jià)并不具有法律約束力,盡管它也像實(shí)盤(pán)那樣用某些字斟句酌的語(yǔ)言。
[00:32.42]An efficient quotation included the following parts:an expreeeion of thanks for the inquiry,if there is previous inquiry;name of goods,quality,quantity and specifications;
[00:39.64]好的報(bào)價(jià)應(yīng)包括以下部分:對(duì)以前的詢(xún)價(jià)表示感謝;所報(bào)商品的名稱(chēng)、質(zhì)量、數(shù)量和規(guī)格;
[00:46.86]details of prices,discounts and ters of payment;clear indication of what the peices cover,e.g.packing,transport,agents' commission,insurances;
[00:54.02]有關(guān)價(jià)格、折扣和付款條件的細(xì)則;詳細(xì)標(biāo)明價(jià)款所包括的方面,比如:包裝、運(yùn)費(fèi)、代理商的傭金、保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)等;
[01:01.18]an undertaking as to packing and date of delivery ;anexpression of hope that the quotation will be accepted.
[01:05.28]預(yù)定包裝、交貨日期;希望報(bào)價(jià)被接受,等等。
[01:09.38]Simply spesking,an offer is the reply made by a seller to the inquiry by a buyer.
[01:12.49]簡(jiǎn)而言之,報(bào)價(jià)是賣(mài)方對(duì)買(mǎi)方詢(xún)價(jià)的回復(fù)。
[01:15.60]It has also been the practice for the seller to sell his goods to his regular customers and to new customers who may have interest wothout waiting for an inquiry.
[01:21.10]對(duì)于老客戶(hù)或?qū)ι唐酚信d趣的新客戶(hù),賣(mài)方為銷(xiāo)售自己的商品可以不等對(duì)方詢(xún)盤(pán)即發(fā)出報(bào)盤(pán),這也是常用的一種做法
[01:26.60]It must be communicated to the offeree and must clearly undertake a performance definite as to all essential terms.
[01:31.83]報(bào)盤(pán)必須有明確的受盤(pán)人,報(bào)盤(pán)的所有主要內(nèi)容必須十分確定。

[01:45.56]A price quotation is not an offer due to lacking an express promise to sell.
[01:48.70]報(bào)價(jià)因?yàn)闆](méi)有承諾出售,所以它不是報(bào)盤(pán)。
[01:51.83]Like advertisements ,catalogues,and circular letters ,it invites buyers' offers or orders ,but they do not make them.
[01:56.92]正像廣告、價(jià)格目錄和通函一樣,他邀請(qǐng)買(mǎi)方的報(bào)盤(pán)或訂單。
[02:02.02]A price quotation is not a legally binding promise.
[02:03.98]報(bào)價(jià)并不是一種具有約束力的承諾。
[02:05.94]But if it is made subjest to certain condition of acceptance like with the words.
[02:08.84]但是報(bào)價(jià)如果附有某些接受條件如:
[02:11.74]for acceptance within 5 days,this quotation is valid for 31 days or similar qualifying words ,it will turn into somewhat of a firm offer.
[02:17.57]必須在5天之內(nèi)接受、此報(bào)價(jià)有效期31天或類(lèi)似的有效文字,報(bào)價(jià)就某種程度地成為一個(gè)實(shí)盤(pán)。
[02:23.41]A firm offer is a contractual obligation.
[02:25.41]實(shí)盤(pán)是一種契約義務(wù)。
[02:27.41]Therefore ,once it had been accepted unconditionally within the term of validity it cannot be withdrawn.
[02:31.17]因此,一旦在有效期內(nèi)被無(wú)條件地接受就不可以撤回。
[02:34.93]Firm offers should be provided with two major requirements.
[02:37.04]實(shí)盤(pán)必須具備兩個(gè)條件:
[02:39.14]First,in firm offers the writer encloses complete,affirmative,specific,terms of business.
[02:42.32]第一,實(shí)盤(pán)中各項(xiàng)條款必須完整、肯定、明確。
[02:45.51]The major condition of the contract are required as to names of goods,Quality,specification,prices,quantity,time of delivery,shipping,terms of payment,packing and insurance.

[02:59.70]In the case of the regular customers ,as the twwo sides are aeare of the habitual practices which has come into being in a loing-term cooperation they needn't negotiate all the detal\il one by one.
[03:07.40]對(duì)于老顧客,由于長(zhǎng)期的合作,彼此對(duì)已形成的習(xí)慣做法非常熟悉,則不需要再逐條談判合同細(xì)則。
[03:15.11]instead ,they put it briefly with words Other terms and conditions same as usual.
[03:18.19]而只是簡(jiǎn)單地在合同中加入其他條件不變的文字。
[03:21.27]Second,the beginning and the ending sate and place of the valifity must be given.
[03:23.31]第二,必須明確有效起始時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)。
[03:25.35]For an offer will lose its binding force if it goes beyond the validity date.
[03:27.91]超過(guò)有效日期,報(bào)盤(pán)則失去約束力。
[03:30.47]If the offeree disagree the terms from the offerer partly or completely
[03:33.77]如果受盤(pán)人部分地或完全地不同意發(fā)盤(pán)人的條件,
[03:37.08]he may make a counter offer in which he may show dissatisfaction as to the price,or the date of delivery,or terms of payment and make modifications instead.
[03:44.90]他可以還盤(pán),對(duì)價(jià)格、送貨日期、或支付條件表示不滿(mǎn),并提出修改意見(jiàn)。
[03:52.72]A counter offer must be written very explicicitly and very carefully in order to avoid misunderstanding.
[03:56.77]為避免發(fā)生誤解,寫(xiě)還盤(pán)信時(shí)必須明確而謹(jǐn)慎。
[04:00.82]A sales leter is a means of advertising.
[04:02.99]推銷(xiāo)信是廣告的一種方式。
[04:05.16]Its purpose is to sell particular kinds of goods or services to selected eypes of customers.
[04:08.57]其目的是向某些特定的客戶(hù)推銷(xiāo)某些商品的服務(wù)。
[04:11.98]A competent seles letter catches readers' attention all at once to what the writer is saying and makes them eager to try the product.
[04:17.15]一封好的推銷(xiāo)信令讀者第一眼就被其推銷(xiāo)的產(chǎn)品深深吸引而急于嘗試這一產(chǎn)品。
[04:22.32]try any ways to convince the readers that the product is well worth your claims.

[04:31.44]可以邀請(qǐng)客戶(hù)參觀工廠(chǎng)和展覽室,得到認(rèn)可的產(chǎn)品相對(duì)比較容易推薦。
[04:35.07]Is the cloding paragraph you should induce the readers to follow your advice practically.
[04:37.85]在推銷(xiāo)信的最后一段,不妨勸誘客戶(hù)行動(dòng)起來(lái),采納你的建議。
[04:40.63]Put it your mind throughtout writing the sales letter that an order of the product is being expected to follow.
[04:44.80]在寫(xiě)作的推銷(xiāo)信的整個(gè)過(guò)程中,不要忘記你的期望是訂單緊隨其后。
[04:48.97]So providing with a good excuse in the closing paragraph is indispensable for readers to answer your leter.
