20、 export standards before the Inspection Bureau allows them to pass.C-E Interpretation(Dialogue 1)我们应该对所有的条款有个统一的认识。这里不便用主动语态表示“对有一个统一的认识”，可以用被动语态be met with表达，即all the terms should be met with unanimous agreement,这样表达更得体。万一发生缺重或质量不合格怎么办？what if是what will or would happen if的简略表达方式。这里可用该句型表达，即What if
