Daily Dialogue 日常会话

Shipping

Mr. Miller： The goods are apt to be destroyed if not handled with care in the course of transshipment . I suggest that the parcel be sent by container vessel to avoid possible damage in loading and discharge.

Karen： I agree that's the best way to ship these goods. But I'll have to inquire if there's suitable capacity for export next month to Europe.

Mr. Miller： It's safe as the container can be locked at both ends and opened only after arrival at destination .

Karen： On top of this, the lower premium charged for containerized goods. Yes, I'll ask our shipping agent to arrange everything for containershipping promptly .

Mr. Miller： Good. And I hope these goods are within convenient distance to the dock where container shipping space is available.

Karen： Yes, they are. I'll call you when the matter is cleared up. I will bring the manifest back.

Mr. Miller： That's all right.

装运

米勒先生： 这些货物在运输途中如果因装卸不当很容易损坏。建议用集装箱船只装运，避免装卸过程中可能造成的损坏。

凯琳： 我同意这是运输这些货物最好的办法。但是我得打听一下是否有下个月去欧洲合适的集装箱舱位。

米勒先生： 这样更加安全。因为集装箱两头有锁，到了目的港才打开。

凯琳： 不仅如此，集装箱装运的货物保险费也较低。对，我们让货运代理尽快安排集装箱船运。

米勒先生： 好。我希望这批货物距离集装箱舱位的码头不是太远。

凯琳： 不太远。等问题解决后我会给您打电话，将货运单带回。

米勒先生： 好极了。
