As to packaging, we'll pack them two dozens to one carton, gross weight about 25 kilos a carton.

安德森:
Could you use wooden cases instead?

Why use wooden cases?
为什么用木箱?
安德森:
I'm afraid the cardboard boxes are not strong enough for ocean transportation.
恐怕纸板箱用于远洋运输不够结实.
米勒:
Cartons are comparatively light, and therefore easy to handle. They'll not be stowed away with the heavy cargo. Besides, we'll reinforce the cartons with metal straps.
纸板箱比较轻.便于搬运.纸箱不会和别的笨重货物堆放在一起的.此外.我们会用铁条加固纸箱的.

All right. Carton or no carton, the packaging must be waterproof as well as strong enough to stand shock and rough handling.
好.不管是不是纸箱.包装必须防水.而且必须坚固.经得起震动和粗鲁地搬运.

You needn't worry about that. Cartons are extensively used in our shipments to foreign countries and there have never been complaints from our clients.
这个你不必担心.我们发往国外的货中广泛使用纸箱.从未听到过国外客户有什么抱怨.
安德森:
That's right.
好的.
