A: Let’s discuss the delivery date first. You should offer to deliver within six months after the contract signing./我們首先商量一下交貨期吧。你們應該在合同簽署後6個月內交貨。

A: The interval is too long. I’m afraid. Could you deliver the drillers sooner?/恐怕時間隔太長了。能不能快些交付鑽孔機？

A: I see./我知道。
B: To make the parts, they must first get specification and detail from us./爲了製造這些零件他們必須先從我公司獲取這些零件的細節和規格。
A: Right./是的`。

A: Please let us know as soon as you hear from your home office?/你從總公司得到消息後立刻告知我們，好嗎？
B: I’ll certainly do that./當然。...
