Ways for resolving disputes 解决纠纷方式
A: It is inevitable to have some disputes in doing international trade business. Could you tell me how to resolve the dispute in your country?
国际贸易中偶尔发生纠纷是避免不了的事。在贵国是怎样解决这些纠纷的呢？ B: These are several ways. The best is to achieve consensus through consultation. 有多种方式。最好的方法是通过双方协商圆满解决。 A: Would you seek for the legal means if the consultation can"t help resolve the dispute? 如果协商解决不了的话，通过法律就是说依靠国家权力来解决吗？ B: Litigation is of course a way of resolving dispute. But actually we don"t use it frequently. 诉讼当然是解决纠纷的一种手段。不过实际上很少使用这种方式。 A: Then what should we do? 那怎么办呢？ B: Usually through arbitration. 一般来说是通过仲裁来解决。 A: Does the final judgement by arbitration have binding force on the parties concerned? 那仲裁做出的决定是终决，对当事人是有约束力的吧。 B: Yes. 是的。 1.“binding”是“有约束力的，负有义务”的意思，例如：This regulation is binding on everybody. （本规则皆须遵守。） 2. “legal means”是“法律途径”的意思，“means”有“方法，手段”的意思，例如：means of fiscal policy（财政政策手段。）
