M: Please come in. I'm just getting ready to go home. Susan is expecting me for dinner. I wanted to be on time for a change.
男：请进。我正准备要回家。苏珊在家等着我吃晚饭呢。我想改变一下，准时回家。

M: That's OK. What's the problem?
男：没事。有什么问题？
W: Well, Paul, I won't keep you long. You see there is a problem with the exchange rates. The Indian Rupee has taken a fall on the foreign exchange market. You see there has been a sharp increase in Indian's balance of payment deficit.
女：保罗，我不会耽误你太长时间的。汇率出了点儿问题。印度卢比在外汇市场下跌。印度的国际收支逆差急剧增加。
M: I see. That's serious, isn't it?
男：我知道了。问题很严重，是不是？
W: Well, as you know, there have been reports of unrest India, and the prospects for the Rupee look pretty gloomy.
女：你知道，最近印度动荡不安的报道持续不断，卢比的前景非常糟糕。
M: And that's going to affect us, as if we didn't have enough problems on our hands.
男：这会对我们产生影响，看来目前我们没有太大的问题。
W: So I thought it would be wise to take out forward exchange cover to protect our position on the outstanding contracts.
女：所以我认为明智做法是采取远期外汇补进来保护我们在未到期合同中的利益。
M: Just a minute. Forward exchange cover? Now what does that mean exactly?
男：稍等一下。远期外汇补进？这是什么意思？
W: Well, it means that JO Motors enters into a commitment to sell Indian Rupees at the present rate.
女：就是说JO Motors承诺用现在的汇率出售印度卢比。
M: I see. And how will that benefit us?
男：我明白了。那我们能获得什么利益？
W: Well, JO Motors won't lose out if the Indian Rupee falls further.
女：即使印度卢比继续下跌，JO Motors也不会吃亏。
M: What will it cost, Jane?
男：简，要花费多少？
W: A small percentage, about 1% and that can be built into the price of the bike.
女：一小部分，大概1%，这部分花费可以加到自行车的价格中去。
M: Well, I don't suppose there is much choice. All right, Jane, let's put it into action.
