今天給大家推薦一下這些最常用但最容易搞錯(cuò)中英意思最容易搞顛倒的外貿(mào)函電經(jīng)典語句你必須高清，否則，在和外商交談或者函電往來中你搞錯(cuò)，會(huì)讓外商笑掉大牙的，從而失去外商對(duì)你的信任，導(dǎo)致丟掉客戶丟掉訂單啊！

1.we are in receipt of your letter of 1st September,2015. informing us of the estalishment of your L/C No.A0985 against our S/C No.US1076

我們收到你方2015年9月1日來信，通知我們已對(duì)我方US1076號(hào)售貨確認(rèn)書開立 A0985號(hào)信用證。

注：informing us of the establishment of your L/C No.A0985 against our S/C No.US1076 是分詞短語，做定語用來修飾letter.

against 在本句子中是“對(duì)”的解釋，如果不用against,也可用covering,或者 for 替換，意思相同。

2.However, we regret to have found that there are certain clauses which do not conform to those of the contract.

我們遺憾地發(fā)現(xiàn)有些條款與合同中的條款不符。

Conform 是動(dòng)詞，如果用名詞形式 conformity，則應(yīng)該為:

名詞 COMFORMITY 的用法： However, we regret to have found that there are certain clauses which are not in conformity with (to) those of the contract.

（我們遺憾地發(fā)現(xiàn)有些條款與合同中的條款不符。）

3.We confirm having sent you our offer.

我們確認(rèn)已經(jīng)發(fā)給你我們的報(bào)價(jià)。

4.The shipment is reported to have been inspected

這批裝運(yùn)貨物據(jù)報(bào)已經(jīng)通過檢驗(yàn)。

5.The name of beneficiary should read "SH Machinery & Equipment Imp. & Exp. Corp.", instead of "SH Machinery Imp. & Exp. Corp.", the latter being the name of another import and export corporation in SH.

受益人姓名應(yīng)為 SH機(jī)械設(shè)備進(jìn)出口公司“ 而不是”SH機(jī)械進(jìn)出口公司“后者是SH另一家進(jìn)出口公司的名詞。

should read....應(yīng)（讀）為，read是不及物動(dòng)詞，又如：

1)we confirm our cable of today, which reads:....

我們確認(rèn)我們今天的電報(bào)，應(yīng)為：.......

2)Article 5 in the Agreement reads as follows:....

協(xié)議第5條應(yīng)為如下內(nèi)容：....

3) We confirm receipt of your E-mail of today, reading:....

我們確認(rèn)收到你今天的郵件，內(nèi)容為：......

該合同已經(jīng)簽字，雙方必須遵守。

8.Please insert the word " about" before the quantity and amount in your L/C as it is impossible for us to ship the goods in the exact quantity as contracted.

請(qǐng)?jiān)谛庞米C中數(shù)量及金額前插入”大約“一詞，因?yàn)槲覀儾豢赡苋绾贤喣菢友b運(yùn)確切的數(shù)量。

9.We learn from your letter under reply that it is impossible for you to accept our offer.

我們從你的回復(fù)信中得知，你們不可能接受我們的報(bào)價(jià)。

10.it is advisable for us to delay the shipment.

對(duì)我們來說最好是延遲交貨。

11.we have noted your request for us to open the L/C at once.

我們注意到你要求我們立即開信用證

12.we suppose that the above mistakes are clerical and hope you will make the necessary amendments immediately by telex so that we can ship the goods in time.

我們猜想上述錯(cuò)誤是筆誤，希望你方立即用電傳做必要修改，以便我們及時(shí)裝運(yùn)。

13. we regret to inform you that we did not receive your L/C covering the above Sales Confirmation till today.

我們遺憾地告知你方，我們直到今天才收到你方的有關(guān)上述售貨確認(rèn)書的信用證.

untill (till) 直到，英語的untill 不能單純地當(dāng)做漢語的“直到”來翻譯，untill的意思是A動(dòng)作繼續(xù)到B動(dòng)作發(fā)生或者某個(gè)時(shí)間，而B動(dòng)作一發(fā)生或某個(gè)時(shí)間一到，A動(dòng)作就停止.

所以本句"我們直到今天才收到你方的有關(guān)上述售貨確認(rèn)書的信用證." 不能按漢語的“直到”譯成：

We  receive your L/C covering the above S/C till today (X錯(cuò)誤句）

而應(yīng)該譯為：

we did not receive your L/C covering the above sales confirmation till today.

就是我們“沒有收到”相關(guān)信用證這個(gè)動(dòng)作一直持續(xù)著，直到今天收到信用證后，“沒收到”這個(gè)動(dòng)作才結(jié)束，也就是說今天收到了信用證。）

類似的句子還有：

1）we did not receive your shipment till today.

我們直到今天才收到你們的貨。

2）we  did not ship the goods till the receipt of your shiping instruction.

我們一直沒有裝運(yùn)貨物直到收到你的裝運(yùn)指示才裝運(yùn)。

3）our manager Mr. Chang, will stay at your end until 31 December.

我們常經(jīng)理將在你們那兒呆直到12月31日才離開。

4）we will postpone the appointment of an agent until there is a good demand for our products.

我們將推遲任命一家代理直到我們的產(chǎn)品需求量很大的時(shí)候再任命。

14.it is clearly stipulated in the said confirmation that the relevant L/C should reach us by the end of August.

在上述確認(rèn)書上清楚地規(guī)定相關(guān)信用證應(yīng)不遲于8月底到達(dá)我處。

15. we had shipped 100,000 tons of Coal by the end of last year.

到去年年底，我們裝運(yùn)了100,000噸煤

16. Please note that we require the amendment to L/C by the 30th September.

請(qǐng)注意我們要求在9月30日前得到信用證修改書。

17.altough the time limit for the arrival of your credit has been exceeded, we are still prepared to ship your order in view of the long term friendly relations between us.

雖然你方信用證到達(dá)限期已過，但鑒于我們之間的長期友好關(guān)系，我們?nèi)栽敢庋b運(yùn)你方的訂貨。

order 這里是訂貨的意思，不是訂單的意思、

18.in view of the small amount involved in this transaction, we will accept D/A payment.

鑒于這筆交易金額很小，我們將接受付款交單的付款方式。

19. we will give you 5% discount in view of the present large order.

20.owing to the late arrival of the L/C,we are unable to make shipment according to the date specified in the S/C.

由于信用證遲到，我們不能按售貨確認(rèn)書中所定的裝運(yùn)時(shí)間裝運(yùn)。

21.the damage was due to ( owing to)  rough handling at your end.

貨物的損壞是由于你方野蠻操作造成的。

OWING TO 和DUE TO 同義，OWING TO 可以放在句子前面做狀語，也可以放在后面做引導(dǎo)語，但是DUE TO 只能放在句子后面做引導(dǎo)語，而不能放在句子前面做狀語。

下面的句子就是錯(cuò)誤的用法：

due to the late arive of the L/C, we are unable to make shipment according to the date specified in the S/C(錯(cuò)句）
