外贸函电：请求延迟装运

装船可能延迟的时候，当然应该就解决办法彼此联系磋商。

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your order No.263 received today. Although in our letter of the 25th we promised delivery in not more than three weeks from receipt of your order, we now find that the components needed for these products have been held up in Hong Kong and may not arrive in time for us to have your order delivered within three weeks.

We shall, of course, do our utmost to complete your shipment by the date stipulated. However a delay of two weeks seems to be unavoidable, which please note. In the meantime we will keep you informed as to development.

Yours faithfully,

敬启者

今天收到贵方263号订单，至为感激。虽然25日的信函中，兹答应在收到贵方订单后不超过3周交货。但我方现在发现，这些产品所需的零件被卡在香港，可能无法使贵方订购货品及时送达。

我方自当尽全力在约定日期之前完成贵方货品的装运。然而，请了解似乎难以避免会有两周的延误。同时，我方会将尔后的发展告知贵公司。

敬上

举一反三

We have to advise you that we are unable to dispatch in full your order owing to a great shortage of shipping space.——兹不得不通知贵方，由于严重短缺船位，故无法整批发送贵订货。
