五、翻译

I．英译汉：

Discount means that sellers offer buyers a certain percentage of reduction on the original price. When competition in the market is fierce, discount will help to improve sellers’ competitiveness. There are different kinds of discount. For example, quantity discount, seasonal discount and exceptional discount. The specific amount or percentage discount varies in different situations. The percentage of discount can be clearly written down in a contract if the seller and the buyer have reached an agreement.

The amount of discount is usually deducted from the buyer’s payment.

折扣指的是卖方按照原价给买方一定比例的价格减让。当市场竞争激烈的时候，折扣会有助于提高（增强）卖方的竞争力。折扣名目繁多，例如，数量折扣，季节性折扣和额外性折扣。具体的折扣金额或者是折扣比例在不同的情况下也有所不同。如果买卖双方达成协议，折扣的百分比可以很清晰地写在合同上。

折扣的金额通常是从买方的货款中扣除。

II．汉译英：

1. 国际市场营销是重要的，因为世界已经变成了一个全球化的场所，国际营销每日都在我们身边发生，对我们的生活产生着深刻的影响。

International marketing is important, because the world has become a globalized place, international marketing occurs all around us every day, and has a deep effect on our lives.

2. 在国际贸易中，只有很少一部分服务贸易。因为，就某种程度来说，服务并不像商

品那样可以交易。

In international trade, there is only a small proportion of service trade. Because,to some degree, services are much less tradable than commodity.

3. 在执行合同的过程中，签约合同双方都应该遵守合同条款。任何一方如果不严格履行，就会给另外一方带来麻烦，甚至使另一方遭受损失。

In executing a contract, both parties should obey the contract clauses. If one party fails to fulfill the clauses, it will bring trouble and even loss to another party.

4. 在国际贸易中，时间因素至关重要，所以买方通常坚持货物必须在指定截止日期前或一段时期内装运是很自然的。

In international trade, time is of great importance, so it is natural that the buyer usually insists that shipment should be made before the specified (stipulated) deadline or a period of time.

5. 技术转让是生产某个产品或使用某个程序或提供某种服务的系统化知识的转让。其要素有“人件”“软件”和“硬件”。
