商务礼节美语第 195 期 :Raising Prices 涨价 (上) 导读：本文商务礼节美语第 195 期 :Raising Prices 涨价 (上)，仅供参考，如 果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。 MicroMax 公司销售部主管 Fred 给客户 Tom 打电话，讨论涨价的事情。 Susan (secretary): Hello, Tom Grossmans office. How may I help you? Fred Lim: Hi, Susan. This is Fred Lim from MicroMax. Is Tom available for a second? Susan: One moment, please. Im connecting you now. Tom: Hey, Fred. Whats up? F: Well, I was going to send you an email, but I thought it might be better for me to call. T: Uh, oh. Sounds serious. 秘书 Susan帮 Fred接通 Tom 的电话。 Tom 拿起电话来问， Hey, Fred, whats up?这是熟人之间见面， 或是打电话一上来很常见的说法。 直截了当，又很亲切。 Fred 说，本想发个电子邮件，后来觉得还是电话里说好，是什么重要的事呢？ F: Its about the last order your company placed with us. T: Lets see...you mean the order for six containers of chipboards? F: Yep, thats the one. Now I know we originally agreed on the price, but theres a little problem. Yesterday one of our major suppliers notified us that they are raising prices. T: Thats never good. 订货要用动词 place, to place an order.供货商昨天电话通知 Fred 的公司，要 涨价 they are raising prices. 这可不是好消息。 F: Also, due to recent jumps in energy prices, our shipping agent is also upping fees. I guess what Im getting at is that we just cant offer our product at the original price anymore. T: But Fred, this order is already in! I made it two weeks ago! You cant change prices on me like this. F: I understandyour position, Tom. But if we fill your order as is, we lose money. If we cant find some kind of compromise, Im afraid our company might have to cancel the order all together. Fred抱怨说，油价贵了，运费也水涨船高， What Im getting at is that归根 结底要涨价。 Tom 不同意，因为 the order is already in. 货已经定好了， 怎么还能 涨价呢？ Fred表示， if we fill your order as is, 如果按原样供货，就会赔钱。如果 谈不拢，就只好 cancel the order, 取消定单。 T
