如果我们达成了交易,但交货的30~60天内,市面降价,导致你的价格不是最好的,该怎么办?我要如何处理?

B Well,these things happens,I know that. You just have to stay straight with me.

嗯,这是难免的,你只要直接告知我就可以了.

A Right! So how do I do that? What will make you happy?

好!那我该如何配合,才能让你感到满意?

B Well,I suggest you just keep me posted.That should do it.That way the burden is on me to decide when to buy, not you.

我建议你随时跟我报告最新状况,这样就够了.那样,我就能看准时间下单.毕竟做决定的人是我,不是你.

A Excuse me?

什么?

B Yeah,it really is that simple.Every time there's a change in the items we do business on , you let me know. That's all you need to do .

没错,就是这么简单.只是交易的项目有变动,你就要让我知道.这么做就够了.

A What kind of change,just in prices?

什么变动,只有价格吗?

B No,any change.I want you to keep me as informed as you are.I need to know as much as you do . If you hear about something that might happen,then tell me about it.Tell me it's rumor, what it's based on and your opinion on how likely it is.

不,任何变动,我要你随时提供最新进展给我.你知道的事,我也要知道.如果你听到什么风声,你就要告诉我.就算是传言,也要告诉我为什么会有这种传言,你认为其可信度怎样?

A You mean on product availability,reliability and price?

你是指产品的获得性?可信度?还有价格?

B No ,everthing.Those things for sure,but also labor problems,raw materials,new subcontractors,mergers,in short,anything and everything.So I can make a fully informed decision.

不只,是每件事.当然包含你刚刚说的那些项目,还有劳工问题、原料、分包商、合并等。决而言之，每件事我都要知道。这样我的决定才不会错。

A So it's like you want me to be your eyes and ears into the indutry.I can do that,provided the company I'm working for isn't hurt.

也就是说，你要我当你在业界的眼线。可以是可以，只要不影响我的公司就好。
