设计10分钟内的课内习题,巩固本课内容
Dear Ms. Wang,
Thank you for your prompt attention to our enquiry, but we regret your quotation is on the high side.
It is true that your products are of high quality. However, the prices you quoted indeed don’t match the market level. The information here shows that goods of the same quality can be obtained from Southeast Asia at prices much lower than yours. Besides, the market is declining. Therefore, it is impossible for us to accept your offer.
If you can reduce the price by 10%, we may consider a trial order of 3000 pieces. As for payment, could you accommodate us with 50% T/T in advance and 50% D/P at sight?
Your early favorable reply will be highly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Wendy Brown

Therefore, it is impossible for us to accept your offer.
句意:诚然,你们的产品质量很高。然而,你报的价格确实与市场水平不符。这里的信息表明,从东南亚可以买到质量相同的商品,价格比你们低得多。此外,市场正在衰退。因此,我们不可能接受你方的报盘。
词汇加油站:
1.market level意为“市场行情”;match the market level意为“与市场行情相一致”,类似表达,be in line with the market level,与之相反的表达有:be out of line with the market level。
2.obtain…… from……意为“从……获得……”。
