whether they should be confirmed, whether we would recommend them in certain circumstances.
哪些信用證應確認，有些時候，我還要推薦適當的信用證。

當然，我們也處理單據托收。

史：因此，你們部負責確?？蛻艏皶r收到貸款。
R:That's where we can help an exporter like your corporate.
斯：對，是這樣。我們可以在托收貸款方面為像你們這樣的大公司提供服務。
You see, it can happen any time that an exporter has to wait two or even three years before they areable to obtain their money after they ship goods to a buyer abroad.
你想，有時候，出口商向國外發(fā)貨以后，要等到二年，甚至三年以后才能拿到貸款。這樣不愉快的事時有發(fā)生。

斯：就拿最近的例子來說吧。我們處理了一個向法國提供機械的合同。
H:What happened? And what role did you play?
史：怎么啦?你們在其中又扮演了什么角色?
R:The contract was originally drawn in USD, but the French company was not permitted to coverforward for any length of time.
斯：當初簽合同時，是以美元為計算單位的。但那家法國公司無權做任何時間范圍內的期貨交易，
They would have to buy the necessary USD to pay the bill.
他們又必須買進一定數目的美元付帳。
H:I see.
史：噢!
R:So we bought currency for the customer and our customer could then work out his price in Frenchfrancs instead of US dollars.
斯：于是我們?yōu)檫@家法國客戶買進了美元，這樣他們就可以用法郎而不是美元來計算貨款了。

史：好，我想我倆已談得很詳盡了。
