Dialogue 2
A: Well, Mr. Brown, we’ve settled everything in connection with this transaction except the question of payment in yen. Now can you explain to me how to make payment in yen?
B: Many of our business friends in England, France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany are paying for our exports in Japan currency. It is quite easy to do so.
A: I know some of them are doing that. But this is new to me. I’ve never made payment in yen before. It is convenient to make pay- ment in pound sterling, but I may have some difficulty in making payment in yen.
B: Many banks in Europe now carry accounts in yen. They are in a position to open letters of credit and effect payment in yen. Con- sult your banks and you’ll see that they are ready to offer you this service.
A: Do you mean to say that I can open a letter of credit in yen with a bank in London or Bonn?
B: Sure you can. Several of the banks in London, such as the National Westminster Bank and Barclays Bank are in a position to open letters of credit in yen. They’ll do so against our sales confirmation or contract.
A: I see.
-- 布朗先生，除了日元付款問題外，我們已經(jīng)談妥了有關(guān)這筆交易 的所有事項(xiàng)?，F(xiàn)在，能不能請(qǐng)你解釋一下如何用日元付款？
-- 我們?cè)谟?、法國、瑞士、意大利及德國的許多商界朋友都用日元 支付我們的出口貨物。這很容易做到。
-- 我知道有些人是這么做。但對(duì)我來說，這是新做法。我從來沒用過
日元付款。用英鎊付款很方便,但用日元付款可能會(huì)有些麻煩。
-- 現(xiàn)在歐洲許多銀行都可以開立日元賬戶。他們可以開立信用證并且 用日元支付。你去銀行咨詢就可知道，他們會(huì)替你辦理這項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)的。
-- 你是說我可以在倫敦或者波恩的銀行開立日元信用證嗎？
-- 當(dāng)然可以。在倫敦有好幾家銀行，如國家威斯敏斯特銀行和巴克 萊銀行等都可以憑我們的銷售確認(rèn)書或合同開立日元信用證。
-- 我知道了。
