The Chinese in the brackets are for your reference only.Mr. Johnson: Good morning, Miss Bai, Mr. Wang. I was to come at 9 o’clock, wasn’t I?Mr. Wang: Yes, Mr. Johnson. (我们正盼着您来呢。)Miss Bai: Mr. Johnson. It’s nice to see you again.Mr. Johnson: Me too, Miss Bai.Mr. Wang: (关于你方在三个月前向我们下的第123号订单的事情), how is everything going?Mr. Johnson: You know, the October consignment arrived at Vancouver seriously damaged. The loss through breakage was over 30% of the consignment.Miss Bai: I am so sorry to hear that, Mr. Johnson.Mr. Wang: (关于货物破损造成的损失,你们有没有向保险公司提出索赔?)Mr. Johnson: Yes, we have. But the insurance company refused to admit liability.Miss Bai: So, what’s their point?Mr. Johnson: They said there was no insurance on breakage.Miss Bai: What does it mean?Mr. Johnson: I don’t know.Mr. Wang: You know of course that (我们卖方对这种事只能充当一个调解人的角色。)Mr. Johnson: I see. So I do want to meet the guys from insurance company.Mr. Wang: (我们已经邀请了中国人民保险公司的陈先生来澄清事态。)Miss Bai: He will be here soon.(Mr. Chen enters into the room.)Miss Bai: Talk of the devil and he is sure to appear.Mr. Wang: (stands up and introduces Mr. Chen to Mr. Johnson.)

Thank you for coming.Mr. Chen: My pleasure.Mr. Chen: Well, Mr. Johnson, (我想听听您对这个保险事件有什么看法。)Mr. Johnson: We naturally were not satisfied with the reply from your company, Mr. Chen. We presume that the wording of our L/C implies covering the risk of breakage. The loss through breakage was over 30% of the consignment. And you refused to admit liability. Can you explain it to my satisfaction, Mr. Chen?Mr. Wang: Shall we get down to business right now?Mr. Wang: In my opinion, (只要在保险责任范围内,保险公司就应负赔偿责任。)Mr. Johnson: Yes, I agree with you.Mr. Chen: (问题是你们说的损失并不在我们承保的责任范围内。)Mr. Johnson: How to say?Mr. Chen:(并不是所有破碎险都属于单独海损。只有由于自然灾害和意外事故所造成的破损才属于单独海损。)Mr. Johnson: Such as …Mr. Chen: Such as stranding and sinking of the carrying vessel, fire, explosion or collision (货船的搁浅和沉没、火灾、爆炸或碰撞). If none of these conditions occur, breakage is often consider as (由于所承保货物内在缺陷或特性所引起的损失,不在承保范围之内。)Mr. Johnson: But In the letter of credit, we request coverage for “all marine risks”. The risk of breakage is covered bymarine insurance, isn’t it?Mr. Chen: (当然。可是按照通常的惯例要在保险单或保险凭证上特别注明‘破碎险’包括在内”。)Mr. Johnson: Mr. Chen, I must say that you have corrected my ideas about the insurance. I see now that this is far more complicated than I ever imagined.Mr. Wang: (应该承认,就保险而论,我也是个外行。还请多多指教。)Miss Bai: What are we to do about it now?Mr. Johnson: To compensate a part of the loss, may I ask you to make us a firm offer for 5,000 pieces of similar pottery products C.I.F. Vancouver including the risk of breakage, November shipment?Mr. Wang: OK. We’ll make you an offer tomorrow.
