外贸营业人员培训--价钱闲谈中的英语本领
(一)IT IS A CONDITION OF THIS LETTER THAT THE NAME OF THIS BANK WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED IN THE EVENT OF OUR REPORT BEING PASSED ON TO YOUR CLIENTS.
译文：本函有一个前提，即在把我们的陈说转交你们的客户时，请勿泄露本行的称呼。
这段话是出自银行对某项咨询的答复信函。此类复信通俗包括三部分:
1)陈说实事；
2)表默示见；
3)提醒对方所供给的材料是尽密及不担当任的。下面的句子属于第三部分。
本句中的IT是形式主语，其主语是THAT……从句。
PASS ONHAND OR GIVE STH TO SB ELSE TO OTHERS通报；转交
EXAMPLEWE WILL PASS ON YOUR DECISION TO THE BUYER.
其他表达体例：
1.PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS INFORMATION IS FURNISHED WITHOUT ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON OUR PART AND SHOULD BE HELD STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
2.PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION IS FURNISHED AT YOUR REQUEST WITHOUT ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER ON THE PART OF THIS BANK OR ON ANY OF ITS OFFICERS.
3.MAY WE ASK THAT YOU TREAT THIS INFORMATION AS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY ON OUR PART.
(二)SHOULD YOU BE PREPARED TO REDUCE YOUR LIMIT BY SAY 10百分 WE MIGHT COME TO TERMS.
译文：如果你方宁愿答应跌价，譬如说减10百分，年夜概能达成生意。
这句话是在讨价讨价中常用到的句子。在双方的闲谈中，价钱是一个很重要的关键，委婉地提出自己的意见可以使自己处于主动地位。
SAY 10百分是LET US SAY 10百分的简化。
BE PREPARED TO……准备做……事
EXAMPLEWE ARE NOT PREPARED TO CHANGE THE TERMS.
LIMIT N.限制(在外贸营业中偶尔用来指价钱，即价钱限制)
EXAMPLE:YOUR LIMIT IS TOO HIGH TO PERMIT BUSINESS.
COME TO TERMS达成生意。类似说法有COME TO BUSINESS CLOSE A BARGAIN CLOSE A DEAL等等。
