At the north end of the Houses of Parliament is a big tower – the famous clock tower known as Big Ben。 Big Ben is really the name of the bell inside。 It is named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who was in charge of the new parliament building in 1859。 big Ben has been chiming for more than a century. It started chiming on June 11, 1859。 The clock that regulates the chiming of Big Ben keeps good time.

在议会大厦的北端，有一座高塔，这就是有名的“大本钟”。 “大本\"实际上是塔内那口大钟的名字.而这口钟又是根据本杰明·霍尔爵士的名字命名的.1859年，他负责建造这座新的大厦.大本钟从1859年6月11日开始鸣响，到现在已有一个多世纪了。 钟塔里的钟很准时。

珠江原来是很宽的，人们把轮渡过江叫“过海”。我们现在走的这条沿江路原来是珠江的一部分.后来人们逐渐填海造地盖房子,珠江才慢慢变成这么窄。传说很早的时候，珠江河里靠近现在广州儿童图书馆的地方有一个石头小岛，实际上是一块大岩石。由于河水的冲刷,它表面光滑、形圆如珠,人们借此称这条河为珠江。后来，由于前面所说的，人们填海造地盖房,这块岩石也被填为陆地一部分了。从此，这颗“珠”就不存在了，但是它的美名却仍然流传千古。

The Pearl River used to be rather ，and people called it “crossing the sea “ when they ferried across it. The site of this road we are on used to be part of the river. People reclaimed the riverside for land to put up houses。 The river was gradually narrowed to the status quo。

It was said that there was a huge piece of rock in the river near the present-day Guangzhou Children’s Liabrary, which looked as round and smooth as pearl due to the sustained wash of the surging water， thus giving rise to the name。

The “pearl” disappeared resulting form the reclamation,but the graceful name has come down with history.

会展业务中有很多不同的服务公司，如展位搭建商、保险公司、货代、旅行社以及酒店等。但是由于展会组织者扮演着将各种服务提供商聚集在一起的角色，因而展会组织者是展会业务中最重要的服务提供商。总的来说，大的组展商会组织一系列不同主题的展会，而小的展会组织者则趋向于在不同的地方组织类似的展会。这样使得他们能从参展商中获得更多的业务，并建立其特定的行业专家地位。

State government is increasingly challenged to maintain or reduce costs while maintaining the effectiveness and efficiency of overall services and operations. Also， the federal government is turning over more responsibility to the states.

支付方式谈判练习

• Brown：I'm glad to say that we’ve settled the price. Now let’s go on to the terms of payment。 很高兴我们已经谈妥了价格问题，现在我们来谈谈付款条件吧。

• As usual， we only accept payment by irrevocable letter of credit payable against shipping documents. You know， it is universally adopted in international trade.

王：我们通常只接受不可撤销信用证，凭装运单据付款。你也知道，信用证是国际贸易中普遍采用的支付方式。

• Brown:I wonder if you accept D/A or D/P. They are also customary in international trade as far as I know.

我想知道你方是否接受承兑交单或付款交单的方式。据我所知，国际贸易中这两种也是常见的支付方式。

•• I’m sorry. Payment by L/C is our usual practice of doing business for such commodities, especially with a new client。 Perhaps we shall consider accepting D/P after we have more business together, but now I don’t think it is proper time for us to do so.

王:很抱歉，对于这种产品，我们的一贯做法是信用证付款，尤其是对新客户，更要求使用信用证。不过今后我们的生意做得多了，也许会考虑付款交单的方式,但是现在恐怕还不是时候.

• Brown:To be frank with you, I have to pay a deposit to open a letter of credit with a

bank。 That’ll tie up my money and add to the cost of my imports, especially for such a large order.

老实讲，要在银行开信用证，我得付押金.特别是我这笔订单数额比较大，开信用证会占压资金，增加进口成本。

• You might consult your bank and see if they will reduce the required deposit to a minimum。 •

王：你可以和开证行商量一下，看能不能把要交纳的押金款额减到最低。

• Brown:Still， there will be certain bank charges. It would help me greatly if you would be a bit more flexible and agree to use D/P. You can draw on me just as if there were a letter of credit。 It makes no difference to you, but it does to me。

即使是这样，还是要付银行手续费。假如你们能灵活一点，接受付款交单,那就帮我大忙了。 你们就当做使用信用证一样，向我方开汇票。 这对你们来说没有多大差别，但是对我关系可大了。

• I understand what you mean， but you may know it very well that a letter of credit is a reliable and safe method of payment and it protects the seller as well as the buyer。 We always require L/C for our exports。 And the other way round， we pay by L/C for our imports。

• 王:我明白你的意思，但是你也知道，信用证是一种安全可靠的付款方式，它保护买卖双方的利益。我们出口一向要求使用信用证，进口也采用信用证付款。

• Brown:To meet you halfway, what do you say to 50% by L/C and the balance by D/P?

我愿意让一步,50％的货款用信用证，其余的采用付款交单方式，你看怎么样？

• 王：布朗先生，我刚才已经说过,我们只接受信用证付款.

很抱歉我们不能满足你方的要求.如果出于某种原因，你订这样一大笔货有困难，我建议你把订单数量减掉一半。以后可以再补一个订单，订另外一半货。 • Mr。 Brown, as I have said, we only accept L/C payment。 We are very sorry that we are not able to meet your request。 If, for this reason or another， you have some difficulties in placing such a large order, I’d suggest you cut it half and make up the balance by sending in an additional order later.

• Brown：Well, I'll think it over. By the way， when must I open the L/C if I want the

goods to be delivered in November? 好的,我会考虑的.另外，如果我想要你们11月交货，我应该在什么时候开信用证？

• • A month before shipment。 王：装运期前一个月。

• Brown：Could you possibly make delivery earlier? • 你方能否提前一点交货呢？

• The earlier we get your L/C， the sooner the goods can be delivered。 But it takes time to get the goods ready， make out the documents and book the shipping space. You cannot expect us to effect shipment in less than one month。

王：我们越早收到信用证，发货就越快。但是备货、制单证、定舱位都要花时

间。你总不能要求我们在不到一个月的时间内交货吧。

• Brown:Very well。 I’ll not reduce my order. And as soon as I get home I'll make arrangements with my bank to open an irrevocable L/C in your favour.

好吧.我不打算减少订单的数量.我一回去就着手联系银行开立以你方为受益人的信用证。

• When will that be?王:大概在什么时候？

• Brown：Early next month。 In the meantime, I should be very pleased if you would get everything ready。 I hope that the goods can be dispatched immediately after you get my L/C. 下月初。同时，我希望你们能把一切都准备好,在收到我方信用证以后马上发货。

•You may rest assured of that. We’ll book your order and inquire for the shipping space right now so that shipment can be made within about three weeks after receipt of your L/C。

王：这一点你尽可以放心.我们接受你方订单，现在就去订舱位，这样在收到你方信用证后大约三个星期就可以装船。

• And there’s another point I’d like to mention. When you open the L/C， please see to it that it remains valid until the 15th day after the date of shipment. You see， you must leave us at least one week’s time to get all the shipping documents ready for negotiation.

王:还有一点。你开信用证的时候，一定要注意将信用证的有效期保留到装船期

后的第15天.你知道，要准备好议付需要的所有装运单据，我们需要至少一周的时间。
