A: We bought l,000 sets of chemical instruments from you, but there are 40 not up to the standard.

 

A：我方从贵处购买了1000套化学仪器，但是有40套是不合格产品。

 

 

B: It’s hard for us to believe it. Our instruments have been of the best quality for years. Have you any reliable evidence?

 

B：我们很难相信会这样。我方的仪器多年来质量一直很好。您有什么确凿的证据吗？

 

 

A: Here is the survey report from a well-known public surveyor in London. You may inspect the defective instruments personally.

 

A：这是伦敦一家权威机构的调查报告。您也可以亲自对次品进行检查。

 

 

B: Well, according to the contract we are responsible for repairing or replacing those defective instruments. We’ll send our technicians to repair them.

 

B：好吧，根据合同，我方要修理或调换这些次品。我方会派技术人员去修理。

A：40套不合格产品意味着4%的不合格率。贵方应该向我方赔偿合同总价值的4%，还有调查费。

B：对于质量问题我深表歉意，但是我提议我方除了赔偿调查费外，再赔偿合同总价值的3%。

 

 

A: All right, in that case we are still willing to do business with you.

 

A：好吧，这样的话，我们以后还可以继续合作。
