VII. Read the following short passages or letters and then translate them into Chinese:
(A)
It is customary to insure goods sold for export against the perils of the journey. In international trade, the transportation of goods from the seller to the buyer is generally over a long distance by air, by land or by sea and has to go through the procedures of loading, unloading and storing. During this process it is quite possible that the goods will encounter various kinds of perils and sometimes suffer losses. In order to protect the goods against possible loss in case of such perils, the buyer or seller before the transportation of the goods usually applies to an insurance company for insurance covering the goods in transit.
(B)
Insurance policy is an official document evidencing the acceptance of the insurance covering by the insurer of the cargo under carriage during a specified voyage and also a formal contract concluded between the insurer and the insured. In the policy are stated the names of the insured, commodities and conveyance, the type of insurance cover, the amount insured, and detailed clauses concerning the rights and obligations of the two contracted parties, the insurer and the insured.
The insurance policy also serves as a foundation on which the insured makes any claims and the insurer handles them in case of the loss of or damage to the insured cargo. Besides, it is an indispensable shipping document required in negotiating for payment under CIF terms at the negotiating bank under a letter of credit.
(C) Dear Sirs, We‘ve received your letter of May 18th. As requested, we have faxed you an offer this morning for 100 metric tons of wool on the basis of CFR. As for the scope of coverage handled by The People‘s Insurance Company of China (PICC), we generally cover WPA and War Risk for 110% of the invoice value in absence of definite instructions from our clients. All Risks can also be arranged with slightly higher premium. We could arrange other risks according to our clients‘ requirements, but the extra premium should be borne by buyers. We hope the above information will meet your purpose. Yours faithfully, VIII. Translate the following letters into English:
