大家好，这集讲合同里的价款（jià kuǎn)与支付条款（zhī fù tiáo kuǎn)，这是商务合同的核心条款之一。
Hello everyone. This episode is about the price and payment terms in a contract, one of the core clauses of a commercial contract.
价款就是交易的总金额，要写清具体数字和结算货币（jié suàn huò bì)，比如 “人民币 5 万元”。
 Price refers to the total transaction amount, and you must state the specific figure and settlement currency clearly, such as "50,000 RMB".
支付条款要明确三点：支付方式(zhī fù fāng shì)，比如转账（zhuǎn zhàng）、现金（xiàn jīn）；支付时间，比如交货前付 30%；支付账户(zhī fù zhàng hù)，要写清收款方（shōu kuǎn fāng）的银行信息（yín háng xìn xī）。
The payment terms need to specify three key points: the payment method, like bank transfer or cash; the payment time, such as paying 30% before delivery; and the payment account, with the payee’s complete bank information clearly written. 
这个条款写得明明白白，才能避免付款时出现金额、时间的纠纷（jiū fēn），保障双方的资金权益。
 A clearly defined price and payment clause can avoid disputes over the amount and timing of payment, and protect the financial rights and interests of both parties.

今天我们学商务合同的基础，还有5个重要汉语词。
 
第一个词，商务合同（shāng wù hé tóng，commercial contract），就是商务活动里，比如外贸合作，要先签商务合同。双方写清楚谁该做什么、谁可以要求做什么。
 
然后是甲方（jiǎ fāng ,buyer）和乙方（yǐ fāng,seller），合同里的两个主要公司，比如甲方买货物，乙方卖货物。
 
还有标的（biāo dì,Subject Matter），就是合同里大家约定的东西，比如1000台电脑。最后是权利（quán lì，Rights）和义务（yì wù，Obligations），权利是“可以要求做的事”，比如甲方可以查货物质量；义务是“必须做的事”，比如乙方必须按时送货。
