Задание 1.Прочитайте и переведите диалог «Signing a Contract»

Borisov: Mr. Adams, I’m sorry to say we cannot sign a contract with your company at this price. It’s unreasonably high. We are in close touch with the world market and our information is that your competitors are quoting lower prices.

Adams: You are partly right. It’s true, the price is high, but you should take into consideration the fact that this model is the latest word in electronic industry. It is designed on the most modern lines and we can guarantee the high reliability of the computers.

Borisov: We know all that. But nevertheless the price doesn’t seem attractive. Will the final price depend on the number of computers we’ll buy from you, Mr. Adams?

Adams: Right. If you increase your order to five computers we’ll be able to give you a 2% discount on the price.

Borisov: I’m afraid the discount is too small. I expected at least a discount of 4%.

Adams: Let me make some calculations. Well, Mr. Borisov, 3% and not more as this concession leaves only a small profit for us.

Borisov: In this case I’d like to discuss the matter again with my people and after that I’ll be able to give you my final reply.

Adams: Good. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon. Good-bye.

Borisov: Good-bye.
