外貿(mào)合同修改條款對(duì)話(huà)
對(duì)于簽訂外貿(mào)合同時(shí)需要修改條款,是再平常不過(guò)的事情了。一起來(lái)看看下面的外貿(mào)合同修改條款對(duì)話(huà)吧。
amend a clause 修改條款
a: here is the draft contract, mr brown. let's discuss the clauses to see if we agree on all of them. then i will make out an original of the contract. after that, what's left is to fill out the contract and sign our names.
b: that's ok.
a: the contract is to be written in chinese and english. both languages are equally effective.
b: fine. if you'll excuse me, i'd like to go it over first. (after about 15 minutes) hmm, you've done a pretty good job. it's well prepared.
a: thank you.
b: well, i suggest that we discuss only the clauses and points where we have different opinions, just to save time.
a: that's a good idea.
b: first, let's read clause two about packing. it's our usual practice to ship our products in containers. that'll save time and money, but your contract stipulates the use of wooden cases. so, we'd like to have the words "containers are allowed" in the contract.
a: agree.
b: for shipment, you know we are producing a complete set of equipment for you and it won't all be finished at one time. so would you allow us to make partial shipments.
a: i understand your position.
重點(diǎn)講解:
1. what's left is to fill out the contract and sign our names. 中使用句子“what's left”做此復(fù)合句的主語(yǔ),這是一個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句,通常放在逐句位于動(dòng)詞之前或由形式主語(yǔ)it代替。
2. it's our usual practice to ship our products in containers. 中的it是形式主語(yǔ),真正的主語(yǔ)to不定時(shí)較長(zhǎng),為避免句子的頭重腳輕,我們一般將不定式主語(yǔ)后置,而在句子前面使用形式主語(yǔ)it。
3. stipulate v. 規(guī)定,保證
a: 布朗先生,這是我們的合同草案。讓我們討論并看一下是否能達(dá)成一致,然后我們?cè)贁M定一份合同正本,最后就只剩下填寫(xiě)合同還有我們的簽名了。
b: 好的。
a: 合同將由問(wèn)中文和英文各一份。中英文的效力是一樣的。
b: 好的,如果可以的話(huà),我想先看一下。(15分鐘后)嗯,你們做得很漂亮,準(zhǔn)備得很好。
a: 謝謝。
b: 好吧,為了節(jié)省時(shí)間,我們就某些我們有不同意見(jiàn)的條款討論一下吧。
a: 好主意。
b: 首先,我們來(lái)看一下關(guān)于包裝的第二條款,按照慣例我們應(yīng)該用集裝箱裝運(yùn),那樣會(huì)省時(shí)省錢(qián),但是你的合同規(guī)定用木箱。因此,我們應(yīng)該加上“允許使用集裝箱”。
a: 同意。
b: 你也知道,我們生產(chǎn)了一整套設(shè)備,這不可能一次全部運(yùn)完,你們可以允許我們分幾部分運(yùn)嗎?
a: 可以理解。
