問一句翻譯"吸收成本" - 國貿工作討論

In order to figure out "absorb, cover or bear" which one is closer to
what you wanna mean. I asked one of friend in Canada.
he said "cover" the cost means "include" or "enough pay for it"
ex: USD$5.00 covers the unit price and delivery fee.
"absorb" or "bear" the cost means "be able to deal with that without
being badly affected."

So it depends. If you just wanna clarify the price includes the cost,
"cover" is good. If you wanna focus on the effort you made so that your
customer won't have to pay the extra cost, "absorb" or "bear" is better.

Just for your reference.
