例二:
Drafts must be accompanied by full set original on board marine bill of lading made to order,endorsed in blank, marked right, prepaid.
汇票必须附有全套印有"货物收讫"字样的正本海运提单,凭指示、空白背书,并写明"运费已付"。
注解: 在第一个句子中,endorse指用过某种产品后感到满意,并通过媒体介绍给公众。而第二句中的endorsed in blank是指背书人endorser 只在票据背面签上自己的名字,而不注明特定的被背书人(endorsee)。
4. average
例一:
If a particular cargo is partially damaged, the damage is called particular average.
如果某批货是部分受损我们称之为"单独海损"。
例二:
It's obvious that the products are below average quality.
很明显,这批产品的品质是中下水平。
注解:在第一个句子中,particular average 意思是"单独海损",是指在保险业中由于海上事故所导致的部分损失。第二个句子中average是指"平均的"。
5. tender
例一:
Under the CIF, it is the seller's obligation to tender the relative documents to the buyer to enable him to deliver the goods.
在 CIF 价格术语项下的责任是向买方递交有关单证,使其能在货物到达后提取货物。
例二:
He became as happy as if his tender for building a mansion had been accepted.
他欣喜若狂,好象他承办大厦筑的投标被接受了。
注解: 商务英语中的重要条款用词非常正规,第一句话中,tender 是用作动词,相当于 give。而在第二句中,tender 是用作名词,意思是"投标"。
