在國(guó)際貿(mào)易中為了保護(hù)交易產(chǎn)品的安全，防化風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，大多數(shù)企業(yè)和公司會(huì)為他們的貨物購(gòu)買(mǎi)保險(xiǎn)，下面就是海倫和亨利關(guān)于保單問(wèn)題的討論。

Helen: I'm calling to discuss the level of insurance coverage you've requested for your order.
我打電話來(lái)是想討論你所要求的訂單保險(xiǎn)額的級(jí)別。

Henry: I believe that we have requested an amount twenty-five percent above the invoice value?
我想我們要求的是高于發(fā)票價(jià)值百分之二十五的保險(xiǎn)金額。

Helen: Yes, that's right. We have no problem in complying with your request, but we think that the amount is a bit excessive.
是的，沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我們可以答應(yīng)這個(gè)要求，但是我們覺(jué)得金額有點(diǎn)太高。

Henry: We've had a lot of trouble in the past with damaged goods.
我們過(guò)去有太多貨物毀損的困擾。

Helen: I can understand your concern. However, the normal coverage for goods of this type is to insure them for the total invoice amount plus ten percent.
我能了解你的考慮。然而，一般這類(lèi)產(chǎn)品的保險(xiǎn)額度是發(fā)票總額再加百分之十。

Henry: We would feel more comfortable with the additional protection.
有額外的保障會(huì)讓我們覺(jué)得安全些。

Helen: Unfortunately, if you want to increase the coverage, we will have to charge you extra for the additional cost.
很遺憾，如果你們想增加保險(xiǎn)額的話，我們就得向你們收取額外的費(fèi)用。

Henry: But the insurance was supposed to be included in the quotation.
但是保險(xiǎn)應(yīng)該包含在報(bào)價(jià)里了。

Helen: Yes, but we quoted you normal coverage at regular rates.
是的，但是我們向你們報(bào)的價(jià)是一般比例下的正常保險(xiǎn)額。

Henry: I see.
我明白了。

Helen: We can, however, arrange the extra coverage. But I suggest you contact your insurance agent there and compare rates.
不過(guò)超出的保險(xiǎn)額我們可以再商量。但是我建議你和你們那邊的保險(xiǎn)代理商聯(lián)系并比較一下價(jià)格。

Henry: You're right. It might be cheaper on this end.
你說(shuō)得沒(méi)錯(cuò)，在這邊可能會(huì)比較便宜。

Helen: Fax me whatever rates you find there and I'll compare them with what we can offer.
不論你找到的價(jià)格如何都請(qǐng)傳真給我，我會(huì)和我們可以提供的價(jià)格來(lái)做比較。
