商務英語口語對話:國際商業之變化
暫無音頻.
Man: It's amazing to me how international business has become. Take my store for example. On any given day, you will find imported items from more than 20 different countries on our shelves.
Woman: How many different varieties of products do you import from China?
Man: China provides the balk of our product inventory, for sure. We import more than from 40 different items from China. Most of the imports that come out of China are low-grade plastics or toys. Japan produces many electronic exports, Germany produces excellent mechanical exports.
Woman: Do you import any food items?
Man: Generally speaking, food items are difficult to import. Food with the short shelf life is liable to spoil in the time it takes to ship from one place to another. The only food items we import are specialty canned or preserved foods. The shelf life is longer for these products.
現在國際商業的變化之大真讓我感到吃驚.就拿我的商店來說,隨便哪一天你來看,我們的貨架上都有來自20多個不同國家的進口商品.
你們從中國進口的產品有多少種?
確實,我們大部分的產品從中國進口的,有40多個品種.其中從中國進口的大多數產品都是些低檔的塑料製品或玩具.還有很多從日本進口的電動產品,德國出口的優質機械產品.
你們進口食品類的東西嗎?
一般來說,食品很難進口.保質期短的食品從一個地方運到另一個地方的途中很容易壞掉.我們唯一進口的食品是特製灌裝食品或醃製食品.這些食品的保質期較長.
