你看我，在星期五的这个时候上门拜访你，我真的很抱歉，但是 保罗。这事相当重要。

尼娜。我们都喜欢尼娜这个名字

这是非常好的名字，请表转达我对塔拉和宝贝的最热烈的祝贺，好吗？

Kamal: Right, Thank you.
好的，谢谢。
Paul: Now ... er, What's the problem?
现在...呃，有什么问题？
Kamal: Well, Paul. I won't keep you long, You see, there's a problem with the exchange rates- the EUROS has taken a fall on the foreign exchange market. You see, there's been a sharp increase in Industria's balance of payment deficit.
好吧，保罗。我不会耽误你太长时间，你瞧，汇率有一些问题 ，外汇市场 欧元汇率已经下跌了。你看，INDUSTRIA 支付的赤字急剧增长
Paul: I see, That's serious, isn't it?
我知道了，这会很严重，是吧？
Kamal: Well as you know. there've been reports of industrial unrest (pay problems as usuall) and the prospects for the EUROS looks pretty gloomy.
然而，你知道。据报道工业动荡（如往常一样的支付问题），欧元的前景看起来很不景气。
Paul: And that's going to affect us, as if we didn't have enough problems on our hands.
这将影响我们，尽管我们已经有足够的问题要处理。
Kamal: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover to protect our position on the outstanding contracts.
因此，我认为采取远期交割保护，以保证我们未收汇的合同是明智的
Paul:Just a minute, Forward exchange cover? Now what does that mean exactly?
稍等一下，远程交割保护？这是什么意思？
Kamal: Well, it means that Jayal Motors enters into a commitment to sell EUROS forward at the present rate against our currency.
嗯，这意味着贾亚尔摩托承诺以目前的汇率销售欧元兑换成我们的货币。
Paul: I see, And how will that benefit us?
我明白了，这会对我们有什么好处？
Kamal:Well, Jayal Motors won't lose out if the EUROS falls further.
嗯，如果欧元进一步下跌，贾亚尔摩托将不会损失。
Paul:What will it cost, Kamal?
卡马尔，费用是多少？
Kamal: A small percentage, about 1%, and that can be built into the price of the bike.
很小的百分比，约1％，可以算在摩托车的价格里。
Paul: Well, I don't suppose there's much alternative, All right. Kamal. let's put it into action...
那么，我们别无选择，好吧。卡马尔。那我们就把它付诸行动吧。
Tom: What kept you, Paul? You said you'd be early for a change.
保罗，是什么让你滞留了？你不是说你会以后早一点到家吗？
Paul: Sorry about that. I was just leaving the office when Kamal dropped in.
很抱歉。我刚刚要离开办公室时卡马尔来了。
Tom: Trouble?
有什么麻烦吗？
Paul: Yes. I'm afraid so. The EUROS has fallen on the foreign exchange market ... but I promised myself there'd be no business this weekend.
是的。恐怕是这样。外汇市场欧元已经下跌了...但我保证自己，本周末我不谈业务。
