缺少外汇不能进口商品时，进行易货贸易怎么样
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: We are sorry to say that we can't import your grain this year because we are short of foreign exchange.
 
我们很抱歉，今年不能进口你们的谷物了，因为我们缺少外汇。
 
B: That's too bad. Your country is a big market for our grain and so we will also suffer a great loss if you import nothing. Maybe we can find a way out.
 
太糟糕了。你们的国家是我们出口粮食的大市场，所以如果你们不能进口，我们的损失也很大。或许我们能想出一个办法来。
 
A: What do you think of conducting a barter trade?
 
您认为易货贸易如何？
 
B: That can be a solution. What commodities do you have to exchange for our grain？
 
这倒行得通。贵方用什么商品来交换我们的货物？
 
A:There are so many goods. Our country exports huge quantities of timber, wool, leather and mutton. Which commodity would you prefer?
 
那可多了。我国出口大量木材、羊毛、皮货和羊肉。您喜欢什么商品？
 
B: We would like to exchange our grain for your timber.
 
我们想用我们的谷物来换取你们的木材。
 
A: Excellent. The total import of grain would roughly equal your purchase of timber.
 
太好了。我们进口的粮食与你们购买的木材是等额的。
 
B:It would be a little difticult for us to sign two contracts simultaneously.
 
我们同时签订两个合同有点困难。
 
A: We could sign two sales contracts in a month, one for grain and the other for timber.
 
我们可以在一个月内签订两个合同，一个是谷物的销售合同，另—个是木材合同。
 
B:Then the L/C should be opened against one another though not necessarily at the same time.
 
那么信用证采用对开的形式，不必同时开立。
 
A: What tolerance will be allowed for the counter purchase?
 
补偿购买允许有多大的差额？
 
B:We usually allow a tolerance of plus or minus 10％.
 
一般我们允许有正负10%的差额。
 
A:Then we have solved the problem of our shortage Of foreign exchange.
 
我们已经解决了缺少外汇的问题。
