About Packing
Johnson： I suppose packing will be done strictly in accordance with the contract stipulation.
William： Yes， strictly is the word for it.
Johnson： Now， about marking. Are you using indelible paint
William： We have received instructions from Mr. Brown on marking. Water-repellent indelible paint is to be used.
Johnson： Fine. And as the parcel is to be transshipped at Hong Kong， we must be assured that the boxes are strong enough to stand all the handling.
William： That has been taken into account.2 The boxes to be used are strong and waterproof. They are seaworthy and can stand rough handling on the wharves.
Johnson： Another question， William. It’s about labeling. We require three languages on the labels， English， French and Chinese.
William： We’ll see to it that the three languages are used on the labels. Any other requirements
Johnson： Yes， one more thing. “Keep dry” should be marked on the boxes.
William： All right. All that you have just suggested will be included in the contract.
Johnson： I think that’s all I want to say about packing and marking.
William： If there’s anything more you want to do， just let me know.
Johnson： OK， many thanks.

威廉：对，就是严格按合同进行包装。
约翰逊：那么，关于标记，你们是否使用不褪色的涂料？
威廉：布朗先生已指过，我们会使用防水、不褪色涂料。
约翰逊：很好。还有，这批货要在香港转船，必须确保箱子牢固，经得住多次装卸。
威廉：我们已经考虑到这点，使用的是坚固的防水箱子，适用于海运并能经受在码头上粗暴装卸。
约翰逊：还有标签问题，威廉。我们要求标签使用三种文字：英文、法文和中文。
威廉：我们一定保证在标签上使用这三种文字。您还有什么其他要求吗？
约翰逊：还有一件事，货箱上要标明“保持干燥”。
威廉：好的，您刚才所提的要求，都将列入合同。
约翰逊：关于包装和标记，我没有什么要补充的了。
