Betty:

Well, which model did you want to order, and how many pieces are you looking at? 你想要订购哪一种款式呢？你要订几件？

 

Harold:

Well, we want 500 pairs of the V-2001B speakers. The price you quoted me before was $85. 我们想要500对V-2001B的喇叭。你之前给我报的价是85块。

 

Betty:

Yes, that’s correct. 是的。

 

Harold:

Would it be possible for you to lower the price a little if we ordered 1000 speakers? 如果我们订了1000组的话，可不可以把价格调低点？（That’s our rock-bottom price.我们的最低价）

 

Betty:

Only if you ordered 2000. And then the unit price is $80. 除非订2000组，单价才可以80。

 

Harold:

Done. We also need 200 pairs of your V-2000A speakers. Our inventory is running a little low. 好。我们另外还需要200组V-2000A的喇叭。我们的库存即将没了。

 

Betty:

14000. These are $70 each for a total of $14000. 好，一个单价70，总价200个，那就$14000。

 

Harold:

So, the total order comes to 174,000. 所以，总计达174,000。

 

Betty:

That’s correct. Your order can go out on Friday. 对的。你订的在星期五出货。

Perfect. Thanks. 正合适，谢谢。
