VII. Read the following short passages or letters and then translate them into Chinese:
(A) Transport
Transport aids trade greatly. By moving goods from places in one country where they are sold to places in another where they are bought, transport helps to bring about the realization of a transaction. Transport is indispensable to import and export business.
There are different modes of transport. Where there are common borders on land, land transport can do its part, using highways or railways. But when the destination is situated far beyond the continent, other modes of transport are required. While air transport can be utilized to carry cargo abroad by planes to far places, its high cost lessens the chance of a successful sale in foreign markets because of sharp competition. In this respect, then sea transport is undoubtedly the most economical means of transportation particularly when bulky commodities are involved. That is why today, basically, some 98% of world trade in volume terms is conveyed by sea transport.
(B)
Shipping Documents
Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, insurance policy or certificate, packing list, and weight memo are generally called shipping documents, the first three being the chief shipping documents. With these are sometimes included other documents required by the buyers, usually connected with the question of duty to be paid on the imported goods. Such documents are the consular invoice ( a certificate given by the Consul of the buyer‘s country stationed in the seller‘s country), certificate of origin, certificate of value, certificate of inspection. These are sometimes required because under various international agreements and particularly among British Commonwealth countries, lower tariff rates of import duties are granted to certain countries. When the lower rates are claimed, the Customs officials of the countries concerned require a declaration as to the value of the goods and that they are in fact made in the exporting country. This certificate of value and origin is often given by the exporter and guaranteed by a chamber of commerce. If this is certified by a consul, it is then called a consular invoice.

(B) 敬启者：
10月1日函悉。信中要求我方修改标题货物以前的装运安排。 得悉你方希望今年11月发货80%，其余的在12月发运，而不是明年的1、2月各发一半。兹复如下，我方虽能供应上述订单现货，但船运公司告知，由于驶往你港的直达轮（无论班轮还是不定期租船）稀少，11月底前的舱位已全部订空。我们无法满足給方要求，甚憾。 如果允许在香港转船，我们可尽力与船运公司联系11月装运第一批货。在这种情况下，你方必须承担额外费用。尽管如此，我们仍无把握该批货能否提前到达。 请考虑上述情况，并尽早告知你方决定。 XX 谨上
