外贸中关于索赔的英语对话

唐：那很好，说实话，我们最好先谈业务，然后再聊聊。你想提出杨梅的事，是不是?

Palmer: That's right. You see, Mr Tang, you have probably been advised of the serious damage done to the last consignment of 60 cases of Arbutus. Upon its arrival in London on board S. S. Corna, it was found, much to our regret, that about 50% of the cases were leaking. Closer inspection by the Health Officers showed that the contents were considered unfit for human consumption.

帕：是，唐先生，也许你早已接到通知，最后一批60箱杨梅损坏严重。“柯娜”轮到达伦敦时，我们发现其中有百分之五十左右是漏的，对此我们感到特别遗憾。经卫生检疫所官员细心检查，认为内装的食品不再可以供人们食用。

Tang: Just a minute, if you please, Mr Palmer. Have your people in London discovered what were the exact causes of the leakage? It was rather a singular case, for thounsands of tons of this product have been exported and this seems to be the only case of having been damaged en route.

唐：帕麦先生，稍等一等。我请问，在伦敦你们有人发现漏的确切原因是什么?这样的事还只有这么一次。我们已经出口了几千吨，在中途损坏的看来仅此头一回。

Palmer: I am sorry I have to say it was not en route. It was definitely damaged prior to loading onto the S. S Corna. You may think it a singular case, yet the fact remains that this has made it necessary for us to file a claim on you. Here, Mr. Tang, I have brought along with me the certificate issued by the London Health Officer. It speaks for itself. As to the causes, closer inspection and examination by our cargohandling people revealed that the leakage of juice was brought about by damaged tins. They were evidently broken through careless handling while being loaded into the ship's hold in Shanghai dock.
