【提早出貨】
When is the earliest you can ship your goods?
你們最早什麼時候可以出貨？

原文範例
Dear Sophia,

I need to discuss the date of shipment with you.

First, when is the earliest you can ship your goods? As the season in Taiwan for apples is in May, could you ship the first consignment by mid-April?Second, we find it impossible to ask our end-users to accept the delayed delivery.
Third, shipment has to be made before April; otherwise we are not able to catch the season.

Thank you for the trouble you've taken in this matter.

翻譯範例
親愛的蘇菲亞，
我需要和你討論一下船運出貨的時間。
第一，你們最早什麼時候可以出貨？因為在台灣蘋果的銷售季節在五月，你們能四月中旬送來第一批貨嗎？
第二，我們認為不可能說服客戶接受延誤的出貨。
第三，四月份以前貨必須裝載上船，否則我們就趕不上銷售季節了。
謝謝您為這件事費心了。

【船　運】
I am afraid the middle of October will be too late for us.

Dear Tracy,

Many thanks for your letter of August 15, in which you inform us for the date of shipment.
But I am afraid that shipment by the middle of October will be too late for us. September is the season for this commodity in Taiwan market. Would you

please reschedule shipment to the middle of September instead?
We will be obliged if you exchange new shipment and look forward to hearing your reply immediately.
