W: To meet you half way, what do you say if 50% by L/C and the balance by D/P?

B: I’m very sorry, Mrs. Wang. But I’m afraid I can’t promise you even that. As I’ve said, we require payment by L/C.

-- 即便那样，开立信用证还是要支付银行手续费。假如你能接受承兑 交单或付款交单，这就帮我大忙了。你就当作是信用证一样向我开 汇票。这对你来说区别不大，但是对我来说就大不一样了。

-- 王小姐，你应该也知道，不可撤消的信用证给出口商增加了银行的 担保。我们出口一向要求采用信用证；反过来讲，我们进口也是信 用证付款。

-- 我们都各让一步吧，货价的百分之五十用信用证，其余的采用付款 交单，你看怎么样？

-- 对不起，王小姐。即便那样，我恐怕也不能答应。我都说过了，我 们要求用信用证付款。

Dialogue 2

A: Well, Mr. Brown, we’ve settled everything in connection with this transaction except the question of payment in yen. Now can you explain to me how to make payment in yen?

B: Many of our business friends in England, France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany are paying for our exports in Japan currency. It is quite easy to do so.

A: I know some of them are doing that. But this is new to me. I’ve never made payment in yen before. It is convenient to make pay- ment in pound sterling, but I may have some difficulty in making payment in yen.

B: Many banks in Europe now carry accounts in yen. They are in a position to open letters of credit and effect payment in yen. Con- sult your banks and you’ll see that they are ready to offer you this service.

A: Do you mean to say that I can open a letter of credit in yen with a bank in London or Bonn?

B: Sure you can. Several of the banks in London, such as the National Westminster Bank and Barclays Bank are in a position to open letters of credit in yen. They’ll do so against our sales confirmation or contract.

A: I see.
