　　重点词汇：

　　1. Irrevocable

　　2. Insist on

　　3. Draw on

　　4. To meet you halfway

　　下面我们来看看这几个词汇是怎么用在这个情景对话中的：

　　A: Well, we've settled the question of price, quality and quantity. Now what about the terms of payment?

　　A: 好吧，我们已经谈妥了价格、质量和数量问题。现在谈谈付款条件，怎么样?

　　B: We only accept payment by irrevocable letter of credit payable against shipping documents.

　　B: 我们只接受不可撤消的凭装船单据付款的信用证。

　　A: I see. Could you make an exception and accept D/A or D/P?

　　A: 哦，你们能不能来个例外，接受承兑交单或付款交单?

　　B: I'm afraid not. We insist on a letter of credit.

　　B: 恐怕不行，我们坚持用信用证条款。

　　A: To tell you frankly, a letter of credit would increase the cost of my import. When I open a letter of credit with a bank, I have to pay a deposit. That'll tie up my money and add to my cost.

　　A: 坦率地说，信用证会增加我方进口货的成本，要在银行开立信用证，我得付一笔押金。这样，那一部分资金就无法周转，因此会增加成本。

　　B: Consult your band and see if they will reduce the required deposit to a minimum.

　　B: 你和开证行商量一下，是否把押金设法减少到最低限度。

　　A: Still, there will be bank charges in connection with the credit. It would help me greatly if you would accept D/A or D/P. You can draw on me just as if there were a letter of credit. It makes no great difference to you, but it does to me.

　　A: 即使那样，开立信用证还要付银行手续费。假如你能接受承兑交单或付款交单，这就帮我大忙了。你就当作有信用证一样，向我开汇票，这对你来说区别不大，但是对我关系可大了。

　　B: Well, Mr Schmidt, you must be aware that an irrevocable letter of credit gives the exporter the additional protection of the banker's guarantee. We always require L/C for our exports. And the other way round, we pay by L/C for our imports.

　　B: 史密特先生，你一定知道，不可撤消的信用证给出口商增加了银行的担保。我们出口一向要求用信用证;反过来讲，我们进口也采用信用证付款。

　　A: To meet you half-way, what do you say to 50% by L/C and the balance by D/P
