重點掌握貨運代理人分別代表發貨人和收貨人所要做的工作。

　　2-1 課文：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...

　　注釋：

　　consignor: 發貨人

　　consignee: 收貨人

　　attend to: 關注 = pay attention to

　　procedural and documentary formalities: 程序和單證上的手續

　　undertake to do sth. 承擔去做某事，承諾做某事

　　process: 在這里為動詞，處理，處置

　　involve: 包含，含有，涉及

　　movement: 移動，動向 ( 在這里引申為“運輸”)

　　這句話大致意思是：如果發貨人或者收貨人不想親自去辦理那些繁瑣的手續的話，貨運代理人將代表他們去處理貨物運輸中所涉及的各個步驟。

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

　　核心句子：The freight forwarder provide these services...

　　這句話的大致意思是：貨運代理人可以直接或者通過次承包商或者另外雇用代理來提供這些服務。
