關于外貿(mào)英語詞匯誤譯例析(2)

　　例四：discount

　　You may get a 5% discount if your order is on a regular basis.

　　If a seller extends credit to a time draft, they have made a trade acceptance. The seller can request that the bank finance the transaction by buying the draft. The bank is said to discount the draft.

　　譯文：

　　如果你方定期給我方下定單，你方便可得到 5% 的折扣。

　　如賣方開出的是遠期匯票，以此向買方提供信用，此時就做了一筆商業(yè)匯票承兌業(yè)務，賣方可以請銀行買下商業(yè)承兌匯票，銀行用這個辦法對出口商融資，也就是說，銀行對該匯票貼現(xiàn)了。

　　注解：

　　discount 在這兩句話中的意思一個是折扣，另一個是貼現(xiàn)。折扣是指商品在原價的基礎上按百分比降價，貼現(xiàn)則是指未到期的票據(jù)向銀行融資，銀行扣取自買進日至到期日的利息，并收取一定的手續(xù)費后，將余下的票面金額付給持票人。

　　例五：endorse

　　Our products have been endorsed4 by the National Quality Inspection5 Association.

　　Draft must be accompanied by full set original on board marine6 Bill off Lading made out to order, endorsed in blank，marked freight prepaid.

　　譯文：

　　我們的產(chǎn)品為全國質量檢查協(xié)會的推薦產(chǎn)品。

　　匯票必須附有全套印有“貨物收訖”字樣的正本海運提單，憑指示、空白背書，并寫明“運費已付”。

　　注解：

　　在第一個句子中，“推薦”是指用過某種產(chǎn)品后感到滿意，并通過媒體介紹給公眾。而第二句中的“空白背書明是指背書人 (endorser) 只在票據(jù)背面簽上自己的名字，而不注明特定的被背書人 (endorsee)。

　　例六：average

　　If a particular cargo7 Is partially8 damaged, the damage is called particular average.

　　It's obvious that the products are below the average quality.

　　譯文：

　　如果某批貨是部分受損，我們稱之為“單獨海損”。

　　很明顯，這批產(chǎn)品的品質是中下水平。

　　注解：

　　在第一個句子中，particular average 的意思是“單獨海損”，是指在保險業(yè)中由于海上事故所導致的部分損失， 因此 average 一詞的意思是損失或損壞，而第二句中的 average 為“平均”之意。

　　例七：tender

　　Under CIF, it is the seller's obligation to tender the relative documents to the buyer to enable him to obtain delivery of the goods. If they arrive, or to recover for the loss, if they are lost on the voyage.

　　He became as exhilarated as if his tender for building a mansion9 had been accepted.

　　譯文：

　　在 CIF 價格術語項下，賣方的責任是向買方遞交有關單證，使其能在貨物到達后提取貨物;如果貨物運輸途中丟失了，買方也可憑單證去獲取補償。

　　他欣喜若狂，好象他承辦大廈建筑的投標被接受了。

　　注解：

　　商務英語中的重要條款用詞非常正規(guī)，在第一句話中，tender 是用作動詞，相當于 give。而在第二句中，tender 是用作名詞，意思是“投標”。
