A: Hello, Sir. What can we do for you today?
您好，先生。今天我们能为您做些什么吗？
B: Hello. I've been asked to come and see about something called L/C? What is it exactly?
你好。我被派来办理那个叫做L/C的事情？它究竟是什么？
A: L/C stands for "letter of credit". This is necessary for trade between two countries. A Letter of Credit is quite literally 1 that—a letter addressed by the buyer's bank to the seller's bank stating that they could vouch 2 for their good customer,the buyer, and that they would pay the seller in case of the buyer's default. Nowadays, it's sometimes used for domestic trade too.
L/C代表"信用证"。它对两国之间的贸易来说是必须的。信用证实 际就是一个由买方的银行向卖方的银行出具的证明，表明他们能够为他们信誉良好的客户，即买方，担保，并且当买方违约时他们会给卖方付款。如今，它有时也用于国内的贸易。
B: So the other party could be across the world or just on the other side of the street!
那么，对方可以是在世界的另一头，或者就在街对面！
