Tom:
Because of the rapid growth of both our domestic and foreign markets, our production hasn’t been able to go forward at an equal pace with the demand. 500 cases are the best I can offer you at present.
由于国内外市场迅速发展,我们的生产已赶不上需求。目前我最多能报500箱。
Sammy:
I see. But if I don’t take care of the supply of my market, my customers will naturally turn somewhere else for their needs.
我知道。不过如果我不能充分供应市场的话,我的顾客势必会从别 处购货。
Tom:
Sorry, I don’t think we can offer you more than 500 cases this year. As a matter of fact, we have made a special effort to get even these 500 cases for you.
很抱歉,我想今年供应不可能超过500箱了。事实上,供应这500 箱我们还做了特别的努力。
Sammy:
All right. We’ll take the 500 cases this time. But I do hope you can supply more next time.
好吧,这次我们就接受500箱,但希望下次你方能多供应些。
Tom:
We’ll see if we can do better next year.
那得看明年我们能否多供应一些。
