Hi,

Here is my suggestion:

The buyer must pay cash in Japanese Yen using the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Yen published by Tokyo Bank at the time of payment.

Best wishes,

Thank you for your correction , but I think pay in cash , not pay cash,

and the phrase : " using the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese Yen published by TOKYO Bank at the time of payment " in this context is not the way the American or British people say .

Can anybody help me translate this sentence more correctly ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thank you for your correction , but I think pay in cash , not pay cash, 'Pay cash' is a common expression that seems fine here to me, particularly since it avoids repetition of the word 'in' (ie "in cash . . . in . . . yen").

and the phrase : " using the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese Yen published by TOKYO Bank at the time of payment " in this context is not the way the American or British people say . Again, this seems quite natural to me.

Can anybody help me translate this sentence more correctly ?There are always other ways to say something, but Hoa Thai's version seems OK to me.

Best wishes, Clive
