第14章 索赔与理赔

In most cases, a compromise between the buyer and seller can usually settle the claim lodged by the buyer.But there are some cases where one contracting party deems that the other contracting party has failed to perform the obligations as contracted, and arguments or controversies, which are called trade disputes, follow.

When no amicable settlement can be made between the buyer and seller, the dispute may be referred to a tribunal of their own choosing.This method of settling disputes is called arbitration, which is regarded as a normal incident of commercial life—a civilized way of resolving the differences of opinion which are bound to arise.

在大多数情况下,买方提出的索赔通常可由买卖双方的让步得以解决。但当合同的一方认为合同的另一方未能按合同的约定履行义务的时候,争议即所谓的贸易纠纷就随之而来了。

当买卖双方不能友好解决时,可将争议提交给由双方共同选择的裁决机构。这种解决纠纷的方法称为仲裁。仲裁已被认为是商业生活中的正常事件——一种解决不可避免的意见分歧的文明的方法。

    爱恋你的寂寞

    如果没有爱情,那么世界上便没有创造,也就没有生机。如果没有女人,世界便失去了美的载体,幸福的生活就无从谈起。所以,爱情是科学、诗歌、一切艺术的母亲,书籍的存在也是爱情的结晶。有一首诗写道:没有不美的女人,这是指一般的女性而言的。是的,女人走进生活中,便是一道美丽的风景。泉水总是向河水汇流,河水又汇入海中,天宇的轻风永远融有一种甜蜜的感情:世上哪有什么孤零零?万物由于自然律,都必须融汇于一种精神。何以你我却独异?你看高山在吻着碧空,波浪也相互拥抱;谁曾见花儿彼此这容:姊妹把弟兄轻蔑?阳光紧紧地拥抱大地,月光在吻着海波:但这些接吻又有何益,要是你不肯吻我?生命是神圣的,生活是美好的。凡是珍惜生命、热爱生活的人,都能从生活中获得无穷的乐趣。但是爱情是最有力量的,没有爱情便没有欢乐,也就没有创造。美好的人生是爱情的带来的,我们不能将爱情看成是一种义务,要把爱情作为最美的享受来对待,这是一种权利,也是一种美好的感情,动人的花朵。
