 　　Transfer the trademark¹ 商标转让

　　Good morning, Mr. Li. I've come to discuss the trademark transfer with you. 早上好，李先生。我今天来是和你商讨商标转让的事的。

　　As you know, our trademark is known all over the world. 你知道，我们的商标在世界上声誉很好。

　　Then how much will you ask for it? 那么你们要价多少？

　　$ 55,000.  5.5万美金。

　　That's too high a price!  这个价太高了。

　　Would you please cut it by 30%? 你们能降低30%吗？

　　I am afraid we can't accept that. 恐怕我方不能接受这个价格。

　　But the price you asked for is too high; would you cut it a little bit for our good partnership²' sake? 但是你要的价实在太高了，鉴于我们之间良好的合作，你能在稍微降点价吗？

　　In that case, the lowest price we can accept is $ 50,000. 那样的话，我们能接受的最大价格就是5万美金了。

　　OK, we'll discuss about the price and let you know when we make a decision. 好吧，我回去再讨论一下这个价位，有决定了就通知您。
