来源：来源于网络发布时间：2010-02-06

　　重点掌握货运代理人分别代表发货人和收货人所要做的工作。

　　2-1 课文：Unless the consignor, the person sending goods, or the consignee, the person receiving the goods, wants to attend to any of the procedural and documentary formalities himself, it is usually the freight forwarder who undertakes on his behalf to process the movement of goods through the various stages involved.

　　核心句子：Unless the consignor or consignee wants to attend to...himself, it is the freight forwarder who undertakes to process the movement of goods...

　　注释：

　　consignor: 发货人

　　consignee: 收货人

　　attend to: 关注 = pay attention to

　　procedural and documentary formalities: 程序和单证上的手续

　　undertake to do sth. 承担去做某事，承诺做某事

　　process: 在这里为动词，处理，处置

　　involve: 包含，含有，涉及

　　movement: 移动，动向 ( 在这里引申为“运输”)

　　这句话大致意思是：如果发货人或者收货人不想亲自去办理那些繁琐的手续的话，货运代理人将代表他们去处理货物运输中所涉及的各个步骤。

　　2-2 课文：The freight forwarder may provide these services directly or through sub-contractors or other agencies employed by him.
