王永:
We`d like to buy your company`s know-how.



我们想买你们公司的专有技术.
李强:
So you also know that buying the know-how is better than the right to use the patent.



那么你也知道.购买专有技术比购买专利使用权要好.
王永:
That`s because the know-how tells us all the details of how to manufacture the equipment and buying the know-how will enable us to contribute to the advancement of our scientific and technical level.



这是因为专有技术非常详细地说明如何制造设备.并且购买专有技术能够有助于提高我们的科技水平.
李强:
But it`s far more expensive than the right to use the patent.



但这远比专利使用权贵.
王永:
Then how much will you ask for?



那你们要价多少?
李强:
Triple the price for patent.



专利价格的三倍.
王永:
That`s much too high a price.



这个价太高了.
李强:
Oh, just the opposite. As you know, buying the know-how will be much cheaper than making with our patent and it means that you will cut your costs by one third. That`s enough to compensate for the sum you pay for it.



哦不.恰恰相反.如你所知.它比我们的专利制造设备要便宜的多.并且这将意味着你们的成本将减少三分之一.这足够补偿你们为此支付的条款了.
王永:
I`m afraid your price is somewhat higher than I expected. Is it possible for you to reduce it ?



嗯.你们的价格比我预想的要高一些.你们能不能降低一点?
李强:
I should say the price is reasonable.



我说的这个价格是合理的.
王永:
If that`s the case, there is hardly any need for further discussion, We might as well call the whole deal off.



如果真的是这样.那就没有必要再谈下去了.整个交易到此为止.
