Try to complete the following dialogue with some of the drills and expressions in Part Ⅱ and Ⅲ. The Chinese expressions in the brackets are for your reference only.S: To tell you the truth, we are greatly surprised at the price you offer us. This price is quite a bit higher than it was last time.L: We’re sorry, but we’ve had a slight price increase here.S: Slight? No, I don’t think so. But I do think the price you quoted rather on the high side. I wouldn’t call this slight.C: (在讨论价钱之前,能否请您考虑一下我们的成本呢?由于原料价格上涨,我们不得不提价8%。)L: Actually that’s about the best we can do on that.S: I’m afraid I can’t agree with you there.

Our products are of high quality.C: (和其他同质量的商品相比,我相信您一定会发现我们的价格是合理的,也是非常具有竞争性的。)S: I grant that yours are of better quality. But still I don’t think we’ll be able to pay these prices.C: (这个我回头再跟总公司查核一下,也许我们可以想出一个对你有利的办法。)S: OK, let’s talk about it some more.
