第一考试网整理了2010货代英语辅导：航空运费和费率
英文原文：Deciding on a pricing policy for airfreight presents airlines with many difficulties, because freight consignments vary greatly in shape, size and weight, and this must be taken into account in the price structure, moreover, it is difficult to do so since many costs do not vary proportionately with consignment size.
注释：decide on: 对…做出决定(决议)price policy: 价格的政策 in shape: 在外形上 take into account: 考虑，重视 moreover: 而且; 此外; 再者 proportionately: 相称地, 成比例地 vary with: 随…变化
中文意思：决定货运价格的政策给航空公司带来许多困难，货物在外形、尺寸及重量上都有很大的区别，因此在制定价格时必须考虑周全。而且，许多成本不是随货物尺寸相应变化的，要做到考虑周全也十分困难。
英文原文：Cost of documentation fixed for almost any size of consignment and costs of ground handling on a per kg basis are generally much lower for large consignments than for small ones.
注释：ground handling: 地面工作，地勤作业
中文意思：通常大批量货物任何尺寸的固定的单证成本和以每公斤为单位计算的地面工作成本要比小批量货物的成本低得多。
英文原文：Costs will also vary according to commodity type. Some items such as hazardous goods and valuable cargoes need special handling, which incurs extra costs.
注释：commodity type: 商品种类 hazardous goods: 危险品 valuable cargo: 贵重货物
中文意思：成本也跟随商品类型的变化而变化。比如危险品和贵重货物需要特殊处理，就产生了额外的成本。
英文原文：These costs must be recovered as far as possible from the shippers of this type of cargo. Freight consignments vary in density, so airlines must decide whether charging should be based on weight, on volume or on a mixture of two, with high-density cargoes charged on weight, and low-density ones on volume.
注释：recover: 弥补，挽回 as far as possible: 尽可能 freight consignment: 托运货物 density： 浓度, 密度; 比重 volume ：体积 high-density: 高密度 low-density: 低密度
中文意思：这类货物的附加成本会尽可能地从托运人那里获得补偿。托运货物在密度上也不一样，所以航空公司必须确定运费是以重量为基础收取还是按体积收取，或者按重量体积混合标准收费，高密度的货物以重量计算收费，低密度货物按体积收费。
英文原文：If this latter policy is adopted, a decision must be taken on the cut-off point between weight and volumetric charging.
注释：latter: 后面的，后者的 adopt: 采取，采用 cut-off: 分界点;取舍点;分离点 volumetric: 测定体积的
中文意思：如果采用后面一种价格政策，就必须在重量和体积标准之间确定一个分界点。
