a: now, let's come to the point. i'm afraid we have to talk more about the price you've offered. anyway, if you're prepared to give me a 5% reduction, we'd like to increase our original order to 100 sets.

　　我們言歸正傳吧�？峙挛覀冞�得就你方的要價(jià)再談一談。不管怎么樣，如果你打算減價(jià)5%的話，我們將原來(lái)的訂購(gòu)增加到100臺(tái)。

　　b: well, that's really a large order.

　　嗯，數(shù)量的確相當(dāng)大。

　　a: it certainly is.

　　當(dāng)然。

　　b: but you know we've never lowered the price that much. you can't expect us to make such a large reduction.

　　但你知道我們從來(lái)沒(méi)有降價(jià)那么低。你不要指望我們打這么大的折扣。

　　a: in that case there is no need for further discussion.

　　如果那樣，就沒(méi)有必要再討論下去了。

　　b: let's not be hasty. perhaps it's unwise for either of us to insist on his own price. how about meeting each other half way?

　　我們不要太著急。我們?nèi)魏我环綀?jiān)持自己的價(jià)格也許都不是不適合的，各自做一些讓步怎么樣?

　　a: well, what about your suggestions?

　　那么你們有什么好意見(jiàn)啊?

　　b: we go in for business on the basis of mutual benefit. how about splitting the difference, 2% off?

　　好吧，我們主張?jiān)诨ダ�的基礎(chǔ)上做生意，那么我們各自讓一半，減價(jià)2%怎么樣?

　　a: that is hardly half way. let's both make a further concession, say 3%?

　　這還沒(méi)有達(dá)到妥協(xié)。我們雙方做進(jìn)一步的讓步，3%怎么樣?

　　b: you are really a hard bargain. are you going to place an order now?

　　你真會(huì)還價(jià)。你現(xiàn)在要訂貨嗎?

　　a: yes, of course.

　　是的。

　　重點(diǎn)講解：

　　“expect somebody to do something”意思是“某件事物會(huì)發(fā)生或某人(某事物)會(huì)來(lái)到”

　　you can't expect to learn a foreign language in a week.

　　不要期望一個(gè)星期就能學(xué)會(huì)一門外語(yǔ)。

　　“expect something from somebody”意思是“期望從某人處得到某事物”

　　i was expecting a present from her, so i was disappointed i didn't receive one.

　　我原來(lái)一直期望著能收到她送的禮物，所以因得不到而失望。
