　　三、贸易双方在讨论装运时间时应注意的4点：(考试重点)

　　1.The exporter should consider whether he can get the goods ready before the shipment date and whether the ship is available if the goods are ready. 出口商应当考虑能否在装运日期前将货物备妥。如果货物能备妥，是否能配上载货的船只。

　　注释：consider: 考虑 get sth. ready: 把...准备好

　　2.The time of shipment should be stipulated in a clear and flexible way. 装运时间的规定应当清楚、灵活。

　　比如:

　　1)shipment on or about July 20 于或约于7月20日发货。(即灵活又清楚)

　　2)shipment on July 20. 这种规定，虽然很清楚，但是不灵活，如果卖方不能在7月20日发货，则构成违约(break contract)

　　3)Expression such as “ prompt”, “immediately”, “as soon as possible”, and the like should not be used. If they are used banks will disregard them. If these terms are used, disputes may occur because there is no uniform explanation of these terms. 不应该使用诸如“迅速”、“立即”、“尽快”之类的词语，如使用此词语，银行将不予置理。如果使用了这些词语，将会因为对这些词语没有统一的解释而出现争议

　　注释：clear: 在这里是“清楚，明白”之意; flexible: 灵活的，可塑造的;break contract: 违约;prompt: 迅速的，立刻的;immediately: 立即 as soon as possible: 尽快;disregard: 不予理睬，不管，漠视;terms: 在这里是“措词，用语”之意;dispute: 争执，争议，争论;occur: (事情的)发生;explanation: 解释，说明

　　3.Sometimes, the L/C simply stipulates and expiry date without a shipment date, which means these two dates the same. 有时，信用证只规定一个有效期，而没有装运时间的规定，这意味着装运期和有效期为同一天。

　　比如：the L/C stipulates that the expiry date is July 31st without a shipment date, then the latest shipment date is also July 31st. 如信用证规定有效期为7月31日，而没有规定装运时间，那么，最迟的装运期也是7月31日。

　　In this case, the exporter should ship the goods much earlier than July 31st so that he can leave enough time for himself to get all the documents ready and present the documents to his bank within the validity of the L/C. If the exporter ships the goods on July 31st, it is very difficult for him to present the documents to the bank on the same day. 在这种情况下，出口商应早于7月31日装运以便能为自己留有足够的时间备齐所有的单据，并将这些单据在信用证规定的交单期内提交给银行。如果出口商在7月31日装运货物，则很难在同一天将单据交给银行。 [NextPage]

　　注释：sometimes: 有时 expiry date: 有效期; the same: 一样; without: 没有，无; in this case: 在这种情况下(in that case: 如果是那样的话;earlier: early的比较级，早的，更早的。(earlier than 早于...);leave: 留下; enough: 足够的;present: 提出，呈递(动词);validity: 有效(如：the term of validity: 有效期间)

　　4.The Expiry Date 有效期 ( 两种情况)

　　1) if the expiry date of the credit and/or the last day of the period of time for presentation of documents stipulated by the credit falls on a day on which the bank to which presentation has to be made is closed, the stipulated expiry date and/or the last day of the period of time after the date of shipment for presentation of documents, as the case many be, shall be extended to the first following day on which such bank is open. 如信用证的到期日及/或信用证固定的交单期限的最后一天适逢接受单据的银行不营业，则规定的到期日及/或装运日后一定期限内交单的最后一天顺延至该银行开业的第一个营业日。

　　核心句子：if the expiry date of credit and/or the last day of the period... falls on a day which the bank is closed, the expiry date and/or the last day of the period of time... shall be extended to...

　　注释：credit: 信用证;period of time: 一段时间;presentation: 呈递(present 的名词形式)fall on: 落到，指向(在这里引申为：适逢); close: 关闭(引申为“不营业”相反的是“open” 营业)at the case : 在这种情况下;extend (to)：延伸，延长; following day: 随后的一天(课文中“the first following day” 是指在银行不营业日随后的第一个工作日。)

　　2)The latest date for shipment shall not be extended by reason of extension of the expiry date and/or the period of time after the date of shipment for presentation of documents. If no such latest date for shipment is stipulated on the credit or amendments, banks will not accept transport documents indicating a date of shipment later than the expiry date stipulated in the credit or amendments. 最迟装运日期不得由于有效期及/或交单期的延展而顺延。如信用证或修改未规定最迟装运日期，银行将不接受表明装运日期迟于信用证或修改规定的到期日的运输单据。

　　核心句子：the latest date shall not be extended by reason of...., if no such latest date...., bank will not accept....

　　注释：by reason of: 由于，因为; accept: 接受(注意与receive 的区别)indicate: 表明，显示 later than: 晚于(相反的是：earlier than)
