外贸中关于索赔的英语对话

帕：很抱歉，我得说明，损坏不是发生在运输途中，是在装上“柯娜”轮之前，你可能认为这是独一无二罕见的事。可是简朴的现实就是如此，我们有必要向你提出索赔。唐先生，这儿有伦敦卫生检疫所官员发的证书，书上写得的一清二楚。我们经办装卸的人细心检察过，看出果汁漏出的原因是罐头损坏池。很明显，当货在上海码头搬运装船时，因操作不慎造成损坏货物。

Tang: As I have said before, the whole business is most unfortunate. We have never come across such a case of damage during loading.

唐：我刚才讲过，这件事真实是很不幸。我们从没有遇到罐头正在装船时发生损坏的事。

Palmer: I have to remind you that our terms are C.I.F London port. While we have full confidence in your Commodities Inspection Bureau in its capacity of quality inspection, this is a case which occured after their sampling and analysis at the works. And the broken tins through careless handling and deterioration of contents en route necessarily about this state of affairs. Now, Mr Tang, you are well aware that our business has just started this branch of activites and the losses thus sustained will be a blow to this department. I am sure you will think it fair on our part when we suggest that the total value of the parcel should be reduced by 50% and that you should give us an allowance by way of credit for the amount to be set against our future purchases of canned fruits from you.

帕：我得提醒你，我们成交的条款是伦敦到岸价。虽然我们对你商品检验局检验品质的能力是信任的，可是损坏是在工厂中抽样化验之后发生的，操作不慎，罐头损坏，中途货物变质，必然会造成这个情况。唐先生，你很明白我们才开始经营这项业务，蒙受的损失将对业务部门是一个打击。我建议这批货从总价中削减百分之五十，我肯定说，是公平的。请你给予补贴，这款就用于将来向你们订购罐头水果时冲销。

Tang: To be fair to your company, I am directed by my Shanghai Branch to settle this issue with you amicably on condition that you give us a certificate issued by your Health Department. Now that this is a available, I think everything will be in order.
