商谈交易Negotiating A Deal[中英对照]

英文:

SHERRY: I understand we will need seven air conditioning units on the two floors.

That's what you think, yes?

ARNOLD: Yes. You could use five or six units.

But five or six wouldn't be very efficient. I recommend seven.

SHERRY: And if we take the Decker units you suggested, what would the price be?

ARNOLD: Let me calculate the price for you.

I can give you a 15% discount if you buy the seven units.

Let's see here. Your total would be 5929 dollars.

SHERRY: Isn't there any way we can get central air conditioning in this building?

ARNOLD: As I said, it is possible, but it would be much more expensive.

I think it would be at least 12000 dollars to do a complete system.

SHERRY: That's too much. We need to use the separate units, I guess.

ARNOLD: It's more practical, and the new units really are very quiet.

Your customers won't even notice them.

SHERRY: So you say we can do it for 6000 dollars.

ARNOLD: Yes, that's for the units.

Installation would probably be another 700 to 1000 dollars.

But it depends on the time spent, of course.

SHERRY: You mean installation isn't included? I’m very surprised.

ARNOLD: No, Ma'am. Installation isn’t included.

The price I quoted was just for the units.

SHERRY: In Taipei, you know, the company usually installs the things they sell.

They don't charge extra.

ARNOLD: I know that, Ma'am.

But they would just raise the price of the units to cover their costs.

Here in L.A., installation is charged separately.

SHERRY: Yes, I suppose I should get used to it.

But I'm not really willing to spend more than 6000 dollars for this.

We haven't even opened yet.

ARNOLD: I understand, Ma'am.

SHERRY: And the other company that gave me a quote on this said they could do it for 4000 dollars.

ARNOLD: It's a question of quality, Ma’am.

At that price, you would not get good equipment.

I've been in this business for almost twenty years. I know what happens.

If you don't get quality air conditioning now,

you will just have to replace the system after two years.

SHERRY: I will tell you what I can agree to.

If you can quote me a price of 6000 dollars, installation included, I can accept.

ARNOLD: Well.

SHERRY: You do seem like a better company than the other one.

So I am willing to pay more than 4000 for you. But I won't pay more than 6000.

ARNOLD: Well, we don't usually do it, but…… I believe we can accommodate you on this.

We will do the installation for free. Because we appreciate your business.

SHERRY: Good. I hope we can arrange the contract as soon as possible.
