商务英语：谈判对话实例

　　K: If we transferred our technical and research expertise（技术与研究的专业知识）， what would stop you from making th esame product?

　　R: We'd be willing to sign a commitment. We'll put it in writing （书面保证）that we won't copycat（仿冒）the Sports Cast within five years after ending our contract.

　　K: Sounds O.K., if it's for any "similar" product. That would give us better protection. But we'd have to interest on a ten year limit.

　　R: Fine. We have no intention of becoming your competitor.

　　K: Great. Then let's settle the details of the transfer agreement.

　　R: We'll need you to send over some key personnel to help us purchase the equipment and train our technical people. How long do you anticipate that will take?

　　K: A week to put the team together, three weeks to train your people. If so, when do you estimate starting production?

　　R: Our first production run（一批的生产）should be one week after our team finishes its training. But I'd like your team to stay a full week after that, to handle any kitches that pop up（处理突发的事件）。
