在國際貿易中應該如何詢問產品情況和聯系業務呢？從業務部的貝蒂同世界計算機公司的拉爾夫之間的對話，我們可以有所了解。

Betty: Hello. Sales Department. This is Betty Fields speaking.
喂，業務部，我是貝蒂·菲爾茲。

Ralph: Hello, Ms Fields. This is Ralph Peterson at World Computers.
嗨，菲爾茲女士。我是世界計算機的拉爾夫·彼得森。

Betty: Yes, may I help you?
好的，我能為你效勞嗎?

Ralph: I'm interested in a couple of items in your new catalog, and I would like to know the prices.
我對你們新目錄里的幾項產品感興趣，我想知道它們的定價。

Betty: Great. We're offering a special promotional price on a few of the items. Which items did you have in mind?
好的。我們現在有幾項產品特價。你對哪些產品有興趣?

Ralph: We're particularly interested in your new RS-five sound card shown on page five of your catalog. I would also like more details about the model RS-four card on page seven.
我們對目錄第五頁里的新型RS-5 的聲卡特別感興趣。我還想更多了解一下第七頁里的RS-4 型聲卡。

Betty: OK. The price on the RS-five is forty-five U.S. dollars for quantities up to five hundred units. Then we offer quantity discounts for larger orders.
好的。訂購數量達到五百片的話，RS-5 的價格是四十五美元。大量定購的話我們還有折扣。

Ralph: And the price on the RS-four?
那RS-4 的價格呢？

Betty: The RS-four is one of our promotional items this month. For orders received by the end of the month, the price is thirty-three dollars each. That price is good on any size order.
RS-4 是我們本月的促銷產品之一，本月底前收到的訂單，單價是三十三美元。不管定單數目多少都是這個價格。

Ralph: That price sounds good. Could you send me more details about the RS-four, including the specifications?
這個價格聽起來不錯。你可以寄給我更詳細的RS-4的資料和說明書嗎？

Betty: Certainly. I can fax or e-mail that information to you this afternoon.
當然。我可以在今天下午把資料傳真或email給你。
Ralph: Terrific. I'll get back to you after I've reviewed the details. Thank you. Good-bye.
太好了。我看完詳細資料后會打電話給你。謝謝你，再見。
