Translate the following passages into Chinese.Passage 1Savings provide one way to take care of financial losses. But savings are not the answer to large losses. The best way to guard against large financial losses is through insurance.Over 4,800 companies in the United States are in the business of providing insurance protection. These businesses are called insurance companies.Because most insurance companies operate on a big scale, they provide a way for large numbers of people to share their losses.Insurance can provide protection against almost any kind of loss. Singers may insure their voices. Photographers may insure their negatives. The owner of a home freezer may insure against food loss in case of a power failure. A business owner can insure his or her place of business. A business owner can also insure against a loss of profits during a shutdown following a fire or damaging accident.Like all private firms, insurance companies must charge enough for protection to pay their operating costs and make a profit. The main factor affecting the price of insurance, however, is the amount of risk involved. The more risk an insurance company assumes for a policyholder, the higher the premium.An insurance company must collect enough money from all its policyholders to pay the claims of those who havelosses. A claim is a request for payment of a loss. It is impossible to tell, of course, which policyholders will have losses. But it is possible to estimate with some accuracy how many will have losses. A company does this by studying its past losses.Like banks, insurance companies are the guardians of other people’s money. Just as banks are closely regulated to protect their depositors, insurance companies are regulated to protect their policyholders.Passage 2Irrevocable L/CNo. 09926To: China National Import & Export Corp., Shanghai BranchDear Sirs,You are hereby authorized to draw on Huafeng Trading Co., Singapore for a sum not exceeding USD 7,850.00 CIF(Say US Dollars Seven Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty only) available by your draft, drawn in duplicate, on them at sight, accompanied by the following documents:(1) 3 non-negotiable copies of clean shipped on board Bill of Lading, marked “Freight prepaid”;(2) Signed Invoice in triplicate;(3) Certificate of Origin in duplicate;(4) Insurance Policy in duplicate covering WAP & War Risk for full invoice value plus 10%.Evidencing shipment from Shanghai to Singapore of the following merchandise:500 dozen T-shirts as per S/C No. 1023 dated June 15, 2009.Condition of Shipment:(1) Transhipment is prohibited;(2) Partial shipments are permitted.This credit expires on August 18, 2009 and is subject to the Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits International Chamber of Commerce Publication No.500.Yours sincerelyTHE CHARTERED BANKSingaporePart III.
