一家服飾店在訂貨前，想向供貨商談?wù)務(wù)劭鄣臈l件。前者在以下這封信中很客氣地提出自己的要求，充分顯示欲建立商業(yè)關(guān)系的誠(chéng)意。
　　英文正文
　　We are a group of stores that sell clothes, and on enquiry have learned you are a supplier with a wide range of clothes at competitive prices. We would like to inquire about making large orders, and place under negotiation a discount of 20% off your quoted list prices if we place large orders.
　　If these conditions are acceptable, and you can meet orders of over 2000 pieces at the earliest delivery dates, we would like to make an inquiry for full particulars -- a catalog and price list. We look forward to hearing from you soon, and invite any inquiries you may have.
　　中文翻譯
　　我們是銷售成衣的商店群，經(jīng)詢價(jià)后獲悉貴公司以平價(jià)供應(yīng)多種成衣。我們想詢問(wèn)有關(guān)下大訂單，經(jīng)過(guò)雙方的協(xié)商，是否可按你們報(bào)價(jià)單上的價(jià)錢打八折?如果我們下大訂單的話。
　　如果貴公司可接受上述條件，而且能在最早交貨期限內(nèi)完成2000件，我們希望貴公司能提供詳細(xì)的數(shù)據(jù)，如目錄價(jià)目表等。盼能很快收到回音，并非常歡迎你們前來(lái)詢問(wèn)。
　　短語(yǔ)解說(shuō)
　　on enquiry 經(jīng)詢問(wèn)，詢問(wèn)后
　　"on"在此應(yīng)解釋為‘在...時(shí)，在之后’，表示一個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生之后，另一個(gè)動(dòng)作即隨之產(chǎn)生。因此"on enquiry.."是說(shuō)‘經(jīng)由詢問(wèn)之后...’。
　　invite (any) inquiries 歡迎詢問(wèn)（詢價(jià)）
　　"invite"意思是‘邀請(qǐng)、請(qǐng)求’，"invite any inquiries"即表示很歡迎、很鼓勵(lì)對(duì)方來(lái)詢問(wèn)任何有閞產(chǎn)品本身買賣條件等的問(wèn)題，與"solicit inquiries"的意思接近。
　　句型總結(jié)
　　●　 我們想要…
　　1. We would like to...
　　2. Would it be possible for us to...?
　　3. May we...?
　　"would like to"這個(gè)詞組意思是‘想做某事’，等于"want to"，但語(yǔ)氣較"want to"客氣，這是商業(yè)、正式場(chǎng)合中做請(qǐng)求的實(shí)用句型�？蓪懽觯�"We'd like to..."。
