Selected answer:Explanation below

Explanation:
The meaning of the sentence is:

The partner pays the price indicated on the general pricelist MINUS a certain percentage in partner discount.

So, if the partner agreed to a 10% partner discount, he has to pay 90% of the price indicated in a general pricelist.

Sorry, I cannot give you a translation into Chinese.

Thanks, Elfie. Thanks for you all. I have ever thought that Listed Price is common price minus partner discount. That would be a big mistake without your helpful explanation.

list price Explanation below

Explanation:
The price of any good or service is tied to some characteristic of that good or service that can be easily quantified. The value of all other charateristics of that good or service are contained within that price no matter how variable their value may be from unit to unit of the same good or service. For example, when you walk into a barbershop some barbers in the same shop are better skilled than others, but you as a customer pay the same price for all.

As few goods that are bought and sold are not accompanied by some sort of service, it is common to separate the price of the accompanying service from the price of the merchandise. Once this separation takes place the service package becomes a commodity of its own and value can be added to it that is incidental to a particular piece of merchandise.

Consumers who are interested more in the merchandise of a store than the service package associated with that merchandise purchase only the merchandise; nevertheless, some service accompanies that purchase whether they purchase the service package or not.

THUS, THE LIST PRICE INCLUDES THE VALUE OF THE SERVICE ASSOCIATED ONLY WITH THE SALE OF THE MERCHANDISE. Consumers who purchase both the merchandise and the service package -- in this case, partnership -- would pay double, if no discount were offered.

By the way, unless you are looking for a translation this type of question belongs in the English-English forum -- not the English-Chinese forum.

表示价格减去

Explanation:
这里LIST的意思是list price=正规表示的价格。
LESS=减去比如 Five less two is three.
Partner's price is list less partner discount.
合作伙伴价格是从表示的正规价格中减去合作伙伴折扣后的价格的意思。

另外，我完全同意Elfie的意见。只是没有足够的地方在agree栏解释。
