聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 2146 Damage

1--I regret to tell you that quite a number of the records and tapes were damaged.
 
2--I'm sorry to hear that. But the goods left here were in perfect condition. It was possibly caused by rough handling.
 
1--Most of the records were either split or wrapped, and many of them were smashed. Besides, I can assure you that there was no rough handling when the goods were unloaded.
 
2--Well, as you made the arrangement for delivery. I am afraid I can't help you.
 
1--Yes, we did make the arrangement for delivery. But we instructed you to wrap each piece individually and pack no more than 10 pieces into a crate to allow for easy and safe handling. But this was obviously not done with the consignment.
 
2--Have you any idea about the damage?
 
1--We estimate that about 305 of the goods were damaged. And the shipping charges cost us a lot. We would like either replacements or a 20% reduction in price.
 
2--I admit that we were partially responsible for the damage. So let's meet each other half-way and compromise on a 10% reduction in price on the consignment.

1--很遺憾告訴你，許多唱片和磁帶都損壞了。
2--聽(tīng)到這事深感遺憾，可是貨運(yùn)走時(shí)是完好的，可能是野蠻裝卸造成的。
1--大多數(shù)唱片或是裂了，或是折彎了，還有很多都碎了。我可以向你保證卸貨時(shí)絕對(duì)沒(méi)有野蠻裝卸行為。
2--既然是你安排的裝運(yùn)，恐怕這事我沒(méi)法幫你。
1--是的，使我們安排的裝運(yùn)，可是為了搬運(yùn)方便安全，我們要求你們把貨品單件包裝，每一版條箱不能多于10件，很顯然你們這批貨沒(méi)有這么做。
2--你知道這批貨損失多少？
1--我們估計(jì)有大約30%的貨損壞了，我們還花了不少運(yùn)輸費(fèi)用。我們要求換貨，或者在價(jià)格上減少20%。
2--我承認(rèn)我們對(duì)損失負(fù)有部分責(zé)任，那么咱們各讓一半，貨價(jià)減少10% 吧。
