For example, we went to considerable effort to import raw materials from the States, then processed them, sold them, and received payment in the form of a check post-dated for three months. And then along came a typhoon and washed away the crops, leaving the farmers helpless and us unable to cash their checks!
公司千辛萬苦從美國進口原料，加工後賣出去，客戶開三個月的支票，一次颱風，農作就被沖走了，農民可憐，我們也望天嘆息！
