VII. Read the following short letters and then translate them into Chinese:

(A) Dear Sirs, We thank you for your order dated the 2nd June and have pleasure in informing you that we can accept all the stipulated terms but the packing. The packing mentioned in your order was of the old mode we adopted several years ago. Since then we have improved it with the result that our recent shipments have all turned out to the full satisfaction of our customers. Our Raincoats are now packed each in a poly-bag and then in a carton, 10 dozen to a carton, with a gross weight around 30 kilograms. Each carton is lined with a polythene sheet and secured by overall strapping, thus preventing the contents from dampness and possible damage through rough handling. We are of the opinion that since a polythene bag is used for each Raincoat it is all ready for window display and looks attractive, which will certainly help the sales. Besides, the improved packing is light in weight and therefore easy to handle. We state the above for your information and shall fulfil your order accordingly if we do not hear from you to the contrary before the end of this month. Yours faithfully, (B) Dear Sirs, We have received your letter of June 5 informing us that the captioned goods have been shipped per S.S. ―Dongfeng‖ and thank you for your invoice No.CB331 in duplicate. With regard to the packing for ready-made garments, you say that you have taken up the matter with the competent departments and are of the opinion that packing in cartons will prevent skilful pilferage; such cartons are well protected against moisture; they are light and convenient to handle, etc. After discussing the matter with our clients, we find that your comments sound quite reasonable. However, we cannot be sure how things will prove to be until the first lot of goods packed in such cartons arrives. We are of the opinion that if the result of packing in cartons turns out to the satisfaction of our clients, you may continue using this packing in future. However, in case of the result not being so, we are afraid that this will considerably affect the development of business between us.
