A=Insurance agent/保險代理員，C=Potential customer/潛能客戶

A︰Good Morning,Mr.Kelvin.Please come in and have a seat.（Kelvin先生，早上好。請進來坐。）

C︰Thank You.（謝謝。）

A︰It’s very good of you to take the trouble to come to my office.（麻煩您來到我的辦公室。）

C︰Well,I was near by,so I decided to come in personally.（還好，我在附近，所以我決定親自來。）

A︰Can I offer you coffee or tea？（我可以給您咖啡或茶嗎？）

C︰No,thank you. I’ve just had one.（不了，謝謝。我剛喝了一杯。）

A︰Now,I expect you have looked at the information which I gave you last week.（我想您已經看過上個星期我給您的資料。）

C︰Yes,I have. However,there is one thing I’m still unclear about.（是的。不過還有一件事我不清楚。）

A︰What’s that？（那是什么？）

C︰Does the insurance cover damage caused in transit？（那保險包括運輸所造成的損失嗎？）

A︰No doubt in Section F,which states that liability forinjury or death has to be a separate policy.（在Ｆ項，說明損害及死亡的傾向必須是不同的保單。）

C︰Yes,but surely the carrier would be liable for damaged caused during shipment？（是。不過那運輸公司肯定負責由裝運引起的損失嗎？）

A︰If the damage takes place,like crates knocking against each other during the flight,the airline would be held liable.（如果那損失發生于如板箱在航程中互相碰撞，那航空公司將會負責。）

C︰I was thinking more about the possibility of the contents leaking out of the containers and damaging other cargo.（我在想關于容量從貨櫃泄漏導致損壞其它貨物的可能性。）

A︰In that case,you would probably be liable and not the airline.I’m afraid your insurance doesn’t cover damage to other cargo.（在那情況下，您很可能要負起責任，而不是航空公司。我恐怕您的保險沒有包括損壞其它貨物。）

C︰I suppose you provide insurance for this.（我以為你有提供這方面的保險。）

A︰Yes,I’can work out a quotation if you don’t mind waiting.（是。我可以計算一份引証，如果您不介意等候。）

C︰Thanks.（謝謝。）

直接引語（Direct）及間接引語（Indirect）用語分析：

當我們使用直接引語時，有指責的語氣。因此必須改用間接引語，更為恰當，尤其在疑問的使用。

1. I suppose you have answered his letter.（我以為您已經复了他的信。）比起以下更恰當︰Have you answered his letter？

2. I suppose you remembered to call the company.（我以為您記得致電給那公司。）比起以下更恰當︰Have you remembered to call the company？

3. I expect you to prepare everything for me to cook.（我想你準備好一切讓我開廚。）比起以下更恰當︰Have you prepared everyting for me to cook？

4. I expect you have read through all the documents.（我想您已經讀過所有的文件。）比起以下更恰當︰Have you read through all the documents？

5. No doubt he hasn’t made the payment.（他必定還沒付那款項。）比起以下更恰當︰Has he already made the payment？

6. No doubt you should have read the small print.（相信您理應讀過那附屬細則。）比起以下更恰當︰Have you read the small print？

这样的贴子很好，不过要是遇上不是那么懂保险的人，忽然间丢这些语言出来，他们会愣着呢。
