     2015考研英语词汇复习：商务谈判 (1)
    Dan Smith是一位美国的健身用品经销商，此次是Robert Liu第一回与他交手。就在短短几分钟的交谈中，Robert
Liu既感到这位大汉粗犷的外表，藏有狡兔的心思――他肯定是沙场老将，自己绝不可掉以轻心。双方第一回过招如下：
    D： I'd like to get the ball rolling(开始)by talking about prices.
    R： Shoot.(洗耳恭听)I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.
    D： Your products are very good. But I'm a little worried about the prices
you're asking.
    R： You think we about be asking for more?(laughs)
    D： (chuckles莞尔) That's not exactly what I had in mind. I know your research
costs are high， but what I'd like is a 25% discount.
    R： That seems to be a little high， Mr. Smith. I don't know how we can make
a profit with those numbers.
    D： Please， Robert， call me Dan. (pause) Well， if we promise future
business――volume sales(大笔交易)――that will slash your costs(大量减低成本)for making the
Exec-U-ciser， right?
    R： Yes， but it's hard to see how you can place such large orders. How could
you turn over(销磬)so many? (pause) We'd need a guarantee of future business， not
just a promise.
    D： We said we wanted 1000 pieces over a six-month period. What if we place
orders for twelve months， with a guarantee?
    R： If you can guarantee that on paper， I think we can discuss this
further.
