(A)

一国货物及服务与另一国货物及服务进行交换，这就是国际贸易。这种贸易除了有形的（即商品的进出口）外，还有无形的（即国际间服务交流）。希腊、挪威这类国家拥有大量的商船船队， 可以提供交通运输服务，这就是一种无形贸易。对某些国家来说，无形贸易与其他一些国家的原材料出口或商品贸易一样重要。在这种情况下，每个国家都可以赚取外汇以购进本国的必需品。

(B)

世界上没有哪个国家能生产它所需要的所有产品。于是世界各国就加入国际劳务分工，以提高生产及再生产效率。有时一个国家可以以易货贸易的方式获得外国货物及服务。易货贸易就是不用货币而以一种货物交换另一种货物的方式做生意。单凭易货贸易是不能满足一国的进口需要的，但作为国际贸易的一种形式，它对发展中国家仍有吸引力。因为这些国家外汇短缺，匮乏的外汇收入远不足以满足它们对外贸易的支付。

(C)

在国际贸易中，服务贸易仅占很小比重。由其特性所致，服务贸易远不如货物贸易那么容易， 因为服务贸易只能在提供服务的地方为对方所接受。这就是说，要么提供服务的一方到需要这种服务的地方去，要么消费者到能提供服务的地方去。只有少量的服务能像货物那样，无须交易双方移动就能进行交易，如运输服务、银行、保

险、教育事业等。

(D)

敬启者：

承蒙Autos公司总裁纳尔逊先生介绍，我们得知贵公司是中国农业机械的潜在买主。由于此产品属于我方经营范畴，我们将很高兴尽早与贵公司建立直接的业务关系。

为了便于贵方对我们所经营的各种产品有个大致了解，我们随信寄去商品小册子和价目表各一份。一收到贵方具体询盘，我们会立即寄上报价单及样品书。

望收到贵方的肯定答复。

XXX谨上
