Question

against 的用法?
it will be pleasure to inquiries for any of these items against which we will send you our lowest quotations.这句话中的 against 他在句中的意义是什么?

Answer 1

这一句是商务函电里的句子.意思是:
很高兴收到任何关于这些商品的询盘,我们将为您提供我们最低的报价.

句子后面的部分可以改写成：
we will send you our lowest quotations against the inquiries for any of these items.

against这里的意思是in return for (sth) 作为...的交换,如：
What's the rate of exchange against the dollar? 美元的兑换率是多少?
Tickets are issued only against payment of the full fee. 只有付讫全费才可将票发出.
也就是说,作为你们对任何这些商品所提出的询盘,我们将提供我们的最低报价.
