尊敬的先生： 非常感谢你方10月1号的来信，告知我们你方市场中其他供货的信息。 如你所知，因为市场竞争非常激烈，我们已经将利润降到最低。由于近期原材料的涨价，我们可能无法维持现有的价格水平，更不会降价。作为一个选择方案，可行的方法也许是提供一个低档的但是质量仍可以接受的低价产品。 请早日告知你方的决定。 ×××谨上
【正确答案】：Dear Sirs， Thank you for your letter of October lst,giving us the information about other supplies in your market. As you know, since we are operating in a highly competitive market, we have cut our profit margins to the minimum. Owing to recent increasing cost of raw materials, we may not be able to maintain the current price level, let alone to lower our prices. As an alternative, it might be viable to offer a lower-grade with acceptable quality at a lower price. We are looking forward to your early decision. Yours truly,
