易货贸易
[00:02.11]We are sorry to say that we can't import your grain this year because we are short of foreign exchange.
我们很抱歉，今年不能进口你们的谷物了，因为我们缺少外汇。
[00:08.85]That's too bad. Your country is a big market for our grain and so we will also suffer a great loss if you import nothing.
太糟糕了。你们的国家使我们出口粮食的大市场，所以如果你们不能进口，我们的损失也很大，
[00:18.00]Maybe we can find a way out.
或许我们能想出办法来。
[00:20.38]What do you think of conducting a barter trade?
您认为易货贸易如何?
[00:23.74]That can be a solution. What commodities do you have to exchange for our grain?
这倒行得通。贵方用什么商品来交换我们的货物?
[00:30.48]There are so many goods. Our country exports huge quantities of timber, wool, leather and mutton.
那可多了。我国出口大量木材、羊毛、皮货和羊肉。
[00:39.49]Which commodity would you prefer?
您喜欢什么商品?
[00:46.38]We would like to exchange our grain for you timber.
我们想用我们的谷物来换取你们的木材。
[00:47.75]Excellent. The total import of grain would roughly equal your purchase of timber.
太好了。我们进口的粮食与你们购买的木材是等额的。
[00:52.13]It would be a little difficult for us to sign two contracts simultaneously.
我们同时签订两个合同有点困难。
[00:58.10]We could sign two sales contracts in a month, one for grain and the other for timber.
我们可以在一个月内签订两个合同，一个是谷物的销售合同，另一个是木材合同。
[01:04.95]Then the L/C should be opened against one another though not necessarily at the same time.
那么信用证采用对开的形式，不必同时开立。
[01:12.02]What tolerance will be allowed for the counter purchase?
补偿购买允许多大的差额?
[01:17.52]We usually allow a tolerance of plus or minus 10%.
一般我们允许有正负10%的差额。
[01:22.40]Then we have solved the problem of our shortage of foreign exchange.
我们已经解决了缺少外汇的问题。
