IV.Translate the following into English orally.
歐文:很高興我們雙方對合同條款取得一致意見。現在我們是否可以簽約了?
聞:我們先看看合同付款,然后再簽,以免對一些問題忽略而產生分歧。
歐文:好嗎。我們一直來看看吧。
聞:你看這條是否要改動一下?喏,合同里寫的是所有貨物都必須以紙盒包裝,外面再用紙板箱包裝。就服裝而言那沒問題。但是對于附件就沒有必要了吧。
歐文:不錯。附件應該另行包裝。
聞:此外,合同里寫明不允許分批裝運和轉船。可是我們討論中取得一致意見有允許分批裝運和轉船的。
歐文:是呀,一點也不錯。這恐怕是筆誤了。改過來吧。
聞:還有一點關于仲裁問題。我們建議仲裁在中國進行,仲裁裁決對雙方都有約束力。你知道中國國際貿易促進委員會仲裁委員會在世界上享有很高聲譽。而且實在說,在我們和外國商人的貿易中很少出現求助于仲裁的情況。一般來說,我們都是通過友好協商就解決問題了。
歐文:好嗎。就按你的意思辦。還有什么要補充的?
聞:大致就這么多了。
歐文:那我們稍加修改就可以簽字了。
聞:行。祝賀你,歐文先生。祝賀我們圓易。
