小贴士
争议(dispute)是指交易一方认为对违反合同规定,或因对方不履约或不完全履约所引起的纠纷。争议的解决(settlement of disputes)是指双方当事人就争议所做出的处理。其方式可分:协商(negotiation)、协调(conciliation)、仲裁(arbitration)和诉讼(litigation)。常用的句型有:
1. i think all disputes between us shall be settled amicably through negotiation.
我认为我们之间的所有争议应通过友好协商解决。
2. we promise to try to solve the matter to your satisfaction.
我们保证设法解决问题,让贵公司满意。
3. our company will cover the losses arising from it.
因此而产生的损失由我方承担。
