商務英語口語對話:成本與估價單
A: How much will our order from your factory be?
B: I'll be happy to get back to you with an estimate in the next few days.
A: I'm afraid I can't wait that long. Can your office at least provide me with a ballpark figure?
B: Well, I would need an idea of how large your order would be. About how many units would you need?
A: Just give me an estimated figure for an order of 100 units.
A: Please give me a few minute to calculate.... Our asking price should be about $100 per unit with an order of 100. Is that price acceptable to you?
B: Your estimated is seems a little high to me, we're willing to pay $80 per unit.
A: Would an order of only 100 units, it'll be difficult to work within that kind of budget. Maybe if you were ordering 500 units or more units, we might be able to work something out.
我們從你們工廠訂的貨需要多少錢?
過幾天我很樂意給你們一個估價單.
恐怕我等不了那麼久.至少你們部門能給我一個大概的數字吧?
好的,我需要知道你們的訂單有多大?大約需要多少套?
只要按100套的訂單給我一個大概的數字就行.
容我幾分鐘算算.我們的要價是100套左右的訂單每套100美元.這個價格你們能接受嗎?
對我來說,你們的報價有點兒高了.我們願意每套出80美元.
只有100套的訂單,在這個預算範圍內很難運作.如果你們訂500套或者更多的話,也許我們能夠找到什麼解決辦法.
