11、 following into English1. Trade is often the engine of growth. However oversimplified this metaphormay be, it does serve to underline the importance of foreign trade in the process ofgrowth. A healthy expansion of exports may not always be sufficient condition forrapid and sustained growth, but a st

12、rong positive association between the two isclearly undeniable. Trade expansion contributes to economic growth in many ways.Among them are the benefits of specialization; the favorable effects of internationalcompetition on domestic economic efficiency; the increased capacity to pay for theimports r

13、equired in development and more generally the stimulus to investment.2. International trade is the exchange of goods and services produced in onecountry for goods and services produced in another country. In addition to visibletrade, which involves the import and export of goods and merchandise, the

14、re is alsoinvisible trade, which involves the exchange of services between nations. Nationssuch as Greece and Norway have large maritime fleets and provide transportationservice. This is a kind of invisible trade. Invisible trade can be as important to somenations as the export of raw materials or c

15、ommodities is to others. In both cases, thenations earn the money to buy necessities.3. There exist different ways of conducting international business. Exclusive salemeans the seller gives the overseas client the exclusive right of selling a particularproduct in a designated area within a specified

16、 period of time. In this kind of businesstransaction, the product is bought by the exclusive seller and therefore he should sellthe product by himself, assuming sole responsibilities for his profit and loss.Exclusive sale is different from agency where only commission is involved. Anddifference exis

17、ts between general contract and exclusive sales because the exclusiveseller enjoys exclusive right in a particular area.4. There is no country in the world that can produce all the products it needs.Thus countries join in international division of labor for effective production andreproduction. Some

18、times a country can buy goods and services from abroad on abarter basis. Barter means doing business by exchanging goods of one sort for goodsof another sort without using money. Barter trade itself is not enough to meat acountrys import needs. But as a form of international trade, it is still attra

19、ctive indeveloping countries where foreign exchange is in short supply and inflow of foreignfunds is far from sufficient to meet their obligations in external trade.Chapter2I. Answer the following questions(Omited)II. Filling the blanks with the suitable words in the text:1.meeting/satisfying; 2.age

20、nt, foreign/overseas; mission; 4.own; 5.setting;6.patent; 7.profits; 8.outlets; 9.joint, venture; 10.subsidiaryIII.Translate the followings into English1). Economic activity began with the cavemen, who was economicallyself-sufficient. He did his own hunting, found his own shelter, and provided for h

21、isown needs. As primitive populations grew and developed, the principle of division oflabor evolved. One person was more able to perform some activity than another, andtherefore each person concentrated on what he did best. While one hunted, anotherfished. The hunter then traded his surplus to the f

22、isherman, and each benefited fromthe variety of diet.In todays complex economic world, neither individuals nor nations areself-sufficient nations are self-sufficient. Nations have utilized different economicresources; people have developed different skills. This is the foundation ofinternational tra

23、de and economic activities.Foreign trade, the exchange of goods between nations, takes place for manyreasons. The first, as mentioned above, is that no nation has all of the commoditiesthan it needs. Raw materials are scattered around the world. Large deposits of copperare mined in Peru and Zaire, d

24、iamonds are mined in South Africa, and petroleum isrecovered in Middle East. Countries that do not have these resources within their ownboundaries must buy from countries that export them.Foreign trade also occurs because a country often does not have enough of aparticular item to meet its needs. Al

25、though the United States is a major producer ofsugar, it consumes more than it can produce internally and thus must import sugar.Third, one nation can sell some items at a lower cost than other countries. Japanhas been able to export large quantities of radios and television sets because it canprodu

26、ce them more efficiently than other countries. It is cheaper for the United Statesto buy these from Japan than to produce them domestically.Finally, foreign trade takes place because of innovation or style. Even though theUnited States produces more automobiles than any other country, it still impor

27、ts largequantities of autos from Germany, Japan and Sweden, primarily because there is amarket for them in the United States.2). The different kinds of trade nations engaged in are varied and complex, amixture of visible and invisible trade. Most nations are more dependent on exportsthan on any othe

28、r activity. The earnings from exports pay for the imports that theyneed and want. A nations balance of payment is a record of these complextransactions. By reflecting all of these transactions in monetary terms , a nation is ableto combine the income it receives, for example, from exports, tourists

29、expenditures,and immigrant remittances. This combined incomes is then spent on such items asmanufactured goods from other countries, travel for its citizens to other countries, andthe hiring of construction engineers.Chapter3I.

39、nderson asked for telegraphic transfer, Mr. Johnson sent the money to the bank tobe kept there.

48、dozenV. Case Study1) It was not right for the buyer not to take delivery of the goods. In this case,the contract concluded between the seller and the buyer was on CIF terms,according to which, the sellers responsibilities ended when he loaded thegoods on board the ship and paid the freight and insur

49、ance premium; the riskseparation was the side of the ship; that is to say, the risks were transferred tothe buyer or the other parties concerned after the seller put the goods on boardthe ship. Since the documents presented by the seller were right and proper, theseller could directly get paid form

50、the Issuing Bank of the L/C.However, part of the goods got lost because of rough sea. Does this meanthat the buyer suffered loss It is definitely not the case because there are othertwo sub-contracts existing on CIF terms-I/P and Bill of Lading. In this case thebuyer could claim damages with the ins

51、urance company, but he had to takedelivery of the goods. Obviously, the actual reason for the buyers refusal toaccept the goods in this case was that the prices of the goods were going down.This is, certainly, unjustified.2) In this case the contract was concluded between Company E and CompanyW on F

52、OB term, according to which the seller (Company E) ended hisresponsibilities when he delivered the goods on board the ship at the port ofshipment. He did not need to pay for transportation of the goods or theinsurance premium. Therefore, it was not right for W to ask E to pay thefreight and indicate

53、 “Freight Repaid” on the Bill of Lading. The reason why Wasked E to do that might be that he wanted to transfer the freight charges to E.However, in practical dealings, foreign trade companies often comeacross such situations, especially when a contract is concluded with an agent,who wants to resell

54、s the goods. In this case, E might comply with Ws request,but he had to indicated that the freight should be borne by W.Chapter5I.

57、单交货，买方是凭单付款，只要卖方如期向买方提交了合同规定的全套合格单据，即使货物在运输途中损坏或灭失，买方也必须旅行付款义务。反之，如果卖方提交的单据不符合要求，即使货物完好无损地运达目的地，买方仍有权拒付货款。就此案例而言，卖方提交了全套合格单据，我方应支付货款。（2）在CIF 条件下，买卖双方风险转移界限以船舷为界。货物越过船舷后的风险应由买方负担。就本案例可以看出，货物越过船舷之前是完好的，因此卖方不承担风险。我方据此不能向卖方提出索赔，可依据所投险别向保险公司提出索赔。3、答：该公司可向卖方提出索赔。理由如下：按CFR 条件成交时，尽管货物在海运途中的风险已转移给买方，但买方为降低自己

58、的风险可办理货运保险，这取决于卖方是否及时向买方发出装运通知。据惯例解释，如果卖方未及时向买方发出装运通知，导致买方未能及时办理保险手续，由此引起的损失由卖方负担。就本案例而言，该公司货物部分丢失是由于卖方未发出装船通知而公司未办理保险手续而引起的损失，故此，该公司应向卖方提出索赔。4、答：此项损失应由买方承担，买方不应该向该公司提出索赔。以CPT 术语成交时，风险转移以货交承运人为界，即卖方将货物交给指定承运人，风险即由卖方转移至买方，买方可投货物保险以确保损失最小。就本案例而言，该公司已将货物交给承运人，运输途中及后期风险均由买方自己承担，因此，该公司可拒绝买方的索赔要求。5、答：按照CI

59、P 条件成交，卖方要承担保险费和运费。因为CIP 条件适合于各种运输方式，风险是在承运人控制货物时转移，所以卖方要负责办理交货地点到指定目的地的全程运输，而不仅仅是水上运输，因此卖方应支付全程运费。就本案例而言，卖方支付了海上运输的费用，但并没有将货物送往指定目的地，因此还需支付铁路运输的费用。由此，我方应支付货款，但不需支付铁路运费，卖方行为不尽合理。Chapter6I.Here given in the following are short forms for some units of measure andweight.
