. B8 f( q' x" O    when he is handling goods.
    这是一句形式宾语的句子,所以,理解的关键在宾语上,我们把宾语简化成:
   it becomes an important duty to advise his clients to insure their cargo.
   或者
1 b- N( j6 @- g: f  it becomes an important duty to check with them if he has no such

                 对于一个能干的(efficient)并有责任心的(responsible)货运代理来说,…,
       同理,

       (2)  handle的解释通常有:
               ① 处理,管理: He is handling this problem.
& l' i/ I5 }$ e# K+ d1 m               ② 买卖,经营: We handle spare parts for motor cars.
