III. Translate the following into an English letter in a proper form (20%) 写信人：新路华贸易有限公司，
地址：中国上海，兴达路999 号金星大厦（Golden Star Mansion ）33层 收信人：James Brown & Sons, 由日用品部（Daily Articles Dept ）办理 地址：#304- 310 Jalan Street, Toronto, Canada 日期：2000 年6月30日 内容：
感谢你6月15日的来函的样品。
特告知，我方客户对你样品的试用结果非常满意，但现在仍有些犹豫。
经与同类货物作仔细比较，我们发现你方报价有点高。当前的洗发精（Shampoo）市场充斥着各种各样的品牌，象Rejoice, Pond's 等优质产品很容易买到。而且这些品牌都已得到我地市场的认可。就洗发精而言，很多消费者不愿接受新产品。你方产品作为新品牌，最大的卖点将是它的护发（hair care）功能；质量上虽然已经达到客户要求，但要想在我地市场打开销路，必须还要具备价格优势，否则是很难与一些老牌产品竞争的。 鉴于此，我方客户建议将原报价减10%。请考虑并作及时答复。

Discount means that sellers offer buyers a certain percentage of reduction on the original price. When competition in the market is fierce, discount will help to improve sellers' competitiveness. There are different kinds of discount, for example, quantity discount, seasonal discount and exceptional discount. The specific amount or percentage of discount varies in different situations. The percentage of discount can be clearly written down in a contract if the seller and the buyer have reached an agreement.
The amount of discount is usually deducted from the buyers' payment.
2. From Chinese into English: (10%)
1)国际市场营销是重要的，因为世界已变成了一个全球化的场所，国际营销每日都在我们身旁发生，对我们的生活产生着深刻的影响。
2）国际贸易中，只有很少一部分服务贸易。因为，就某种程度来说服务并不比商品那样可以交易。
3）在执行合同的过程中，签约双方都应该遵守合同条款。任何一方如果不严格履行，就会给另一方带来麻烦。甚至使另一方遭受损失。
4）国际贸易中，时间因素至关重要，所以买方通常坚持货物必须在指定截止日期前或一段时间内装运是很自然的。
5）技术转让是生产某个产品，使用某个程序或提供某种服务的系统化知识的转让。其要素有\"人件\"、\"软件\"和\"硬件\"。

III. Translate the following into an English letter in a proper form (20%) Xinluhua Trading Company Ltd
Floor 33. Golden Star Mansion. No.999 Xingda Road Shanghai China June 30.2000
James Brown & Sons
#304-310 Jalan Street, Toronto, Canada ATTN: Daily Articles Department Dear Sirs;
Thank you for your letter and samples sent on June 15. We're glad to inform you that our customers are very satisfied with the test result of your samples. but they are still hesitating at the
moment.
After careful comparison with similar goods, we find your quotation on the high side. The current shampoo market is swollen up with various brands. and quality brands such as Rejoice and Pond`s are easily available. These brands have already gained recognition of the local market. In terms of shampoo, many consumers are reluctant to accept new products. As a new brand, the biggest selling point of your product will be its hair care function. Although its quality has already measured up to our customers' requirements, it still needs price advantage in order to open up a market here. Otherwise it can hardly compete against the established brands.
In view of this our customers request you to reduce your original price by 10%. Please consider this and give us a prompt reply.
Yours faithfully (Signed)

2）There is only a small proportion of service activity in international trade. Because to some sxtent services are much less tradable than goods.
3）In executing a contract, both sides should abide by the stipulations in the contract. If one part fails to fulfill all of the obligations, it will bring inconvenience or even loss to anther party.
4）In international trade time is of the essence, so it is natural that the buyer usually insists that shipment be made before a specified deadline or within a period of time. 5）Technology transfer is the transfer of systematic knowledge for the manufacture of a product for the application of a process, or for the rending of a service. The elements of the transfer are
