　一. 了解貨運(yùn)代理最初的職責(zé)

　　1-1 課文：Originally, a freight forwarder was a commission agent performing on behalf of the exporter/importer routine tasks such as loading/unloading of goods, storage of goods, arranging local transport, obtaining payment for his customer, etc…

　　注釋：

　　freight forwarder 貨運(yùn)代理人

　　commission agent 委托代理人

　　on behalf of 代表....

　　routine tasks 日常工作

　　loading/unloading of goods 裝載/卸載貨物

　　storage of goods 貨物存放，貨物存儲(chǔ)

　　這句話大致意思是：最開(kāi)始，貨運(yùn)代理是進(jìn)出口商的委托代理人，替進(jìn)出口商做一些常規(guī)事務(wù)，比如裝載/卸載貨物，貨物的存儲(chǔ)，安排地方運(yùn)輸….

　　1-2 課文：However, the expansion of international trade and the development of different modes of transport over the years that followed enlarged the scope of his services.

　　核心句子：....A and B enlarged the scope of his services.

　　A 是指 ：expansion of international trade 國(guó)際貿(mào)易的擴(kuò)大

　　modes of transport: 運(yùn)輸方式

　　這句話大致意思是：在以后的幾年里，國(guó)際貿(mào)易的擴(kuò)大和不同運(yùn)輸方式的發(fā)展加大了貨運(yùn)代理的服務(wù)范圍。
