Insurance

Helen: I'm calling to discuss the level of insurance coverage you've requested for your order.

Henry: I believe that we have requested an amount of twenty-five percent above the invoice value?

Helen: Yes, that's right. We have no problem in complying with your request, but we think that the amount is a bit excessive.

Henry: We've had a lot of trouble in the past with damaged goods.

Helen: I can understand your concern. However, the normal coverage for goods of this type is to insure them for the total invoice amount plus ten percent.

Henry: We would feel more comfortable with the additional protection.

Helen: Unfortunately, if you want to increase the coverage, we will have to charge you extra for the additional cost.

Henry: But the insurance was supposed to be included in the quotation.

Helen: Yes, but we quoted you normal coverage at regular rates.

Henry: I see.

Helen: We can, however, arrange the extra coverage. But I suggest you contact your insurance agent there and compare rates.

Henry: You're right. It might be cheaper on this end.

Helen: Fax me whatever rates you find there and I'll compare them with what we can offer.

保险

海伦：我打电话来是想讨论你所要求的订单保险额的级别。

亨利：我想我们要求的是高于发票价值百分之二十五的保险金额。

海伦：是的，没错。我们可以答应这个要求，但是我们觉得金额有点太高。

亨利：我们过去有太多货物毁损的困扰。

海伦：我了解你的顾虑。然而，一般这类产品的保险额度是发票总额再加百分之十。

亨利：有额外的保障会让我们觉得安全些。

海伦：很遗憾，如果你们想增加保险额的话，我们就得向你们收取额外的费用。

亨利：但是保险应该包含在报价里了。

海伦：是的，但是我们向你们报的价是一般比例下的正常保险额。

亨利：我了解。

海伦：不过，超出的保险额我们可以再商量。但是我建议你和你们那边的保险代理商联络并比较一下价格。

亨利：你说得没错，在这边可能会比较便宜。

海伦：不论你那里找到的是哪一种价格都传真给我，我会和我们可以提供的价格来做比较。

你是“夜店族”吗？

“夜店族”的英文表达是pub crawl，字面上意思为“爬酒吧”，这该如何理解呢？

不论单身与否，泡吧是许多人最喜欢的娱乐活动。去酒吧的话，有的人prefer to stay in one place，而有些人则喜欢go to more than one pub on a night out。一晚上去好多酒吧，每个酒吧都坐上一会儿，然后再去其他酒吧，我们管这种在酒吧间串来串去的行为就叫作pub crawl。

pub crawl起源于19世纪，它也可以叫作a gin crawl或是bar-hopping. It is the social act of a group of people drinking in a number of pubs in a single night.

The tradition of pub crawl is to walk from pub to pub with designated T shirts for the bartenders to sign and to show they were there. A new trend in this social networking is where the pub crawlers have anyone they meet also sign their shirts, kind of like a myspace friends network with ink and cloth.

至于用法上，你可以说weˈre going on a pub crawl或是weˈre doing a pub crawl。

对话：

A: What are you doing on Saturday then?

B: Iˈm going on a pub crawl in town with some friends.

Do you enjoy pub crawls? Have you ever been on a pub crawl？你喜欢酒吧吗？你曾经去过吗？（如果你没串过酒吧，为什么不试试呢？）
