邮寄快递时,通常需要选择付款方式(payment)是“到付”还是“寄付”。
“到付”顾名思义就是指包裹运达目的地后由收货人给付运费(person or company that receives packages will pay delivery fees at the time the packages are received),可以翻译为 “delivery fee to be collected”。
反之,由发货人预先支付运费(express charge is paid by the person or company sending packages)为“寄付”,英文相当于“delivery fee prepaid”。
这里需要注意的是,网购时我们所说的“货到付款(简称到付)”一般是指“由快递公司代收买家货款”,应该翻译为“cash on delivery”。
