　　Mr. Smith: We all expect to have the chance.

　　Manager: Really, Mr. Smith? Then the floor is yours.

　　Mr. Smith: Certainly. It's my honor to start the ball rolling. In my opinion...

　　经理:有关这些问题，我希望能获得每个人的意见。

　　史密斯先生:我们都盼着发言呢。

　　经理:是吗，史密斯先生?那你能评论一下吗?

　　史密斯先生:当然，我很荣幸第一个发言。在我看来……

　　Paul: The next item is the financial report. Now the treasurer has the floor.

　　Susan:Thank you. I assume everybody has previewed the profit and loss statement. Then I'll make an explanation.

　　Paul: Why doesn't it include the payment by BCD company?

　　Susan:The statement is made at the end of the month and their check was a few days late, so it missed the cutoff point.

　　Paul: Will the payment be shown in the next month report?

　　Susan: Yes.

　　Rena: My presentation will show you how we can work together and achieve the win-win situation.

　　Peter: That's what we would like to hear.

　　Rena: There are three parts in my presentation: people,processes, and products.

　　Peter: Sounds good. Please go ahead.

　　丽娜:我的发言会表示我们如何合作并达到双赢的效果。

　　彼得:这正是我们想知道的。

　　丽娜:我的发言分三部分:人员、流程和产品。

　　彼得:听起来不错，请继续吧。

　　Manager: Well, gentlemen, as you know, the purpose of this meeting is to make a preliminary evaluation of product CP21·At this stage we have three main points to consider you have them on your agenda. The first one is: potential market. Tom, what can you say about that?

　　Tom:I asked the four regional managers to do two things. Firstly, to make a rough estimate of the number of customers in their territory who might be interested, and secondly, to sound out one or two of these-very diplomatically of course and find out their reactions.Basically, I wanted to know whether this problem is a general one or not.

　　Manager:And what were their findings?

　　Tom:Well, it seems the problem is more general than we realized. But most people just accept it, they regard it more as an inconvenience than as a serious production problem.

　　Manager:Do you think the idea has sales potential?

　　Tom:Yes, I do. The results obtained by Jones Electronics are quite impressive.

　　Manager: Thank you. Now, the next item to consider is the probable cost of going into production.Bill, can you give us some idea of the investment required?

　　经理:喂，先生们，你们都知道，本次会议的目的是对新产品CP21作投产前的预估。在现阶段，我们要考虑的主要有三点—这三点在你们的议事日程上都有了。第一点是潜在的市场。汤姆，关于这一点你能谈谈吗?

　　汤姆:我曾请四位区域经理做了两件事。第一是粗略估计在他们的地区内，有多少顾客对这个新产品可能会感兴趣;第二是听取其中一些人的意见，当然要十分机智了解他们的反应。基本上我想弄清楚这个问题是不是一般性的。

　　经理:他们调查的结果如何?

　　汤姆:嗯，问题似乎比我们意识到的更为一般化。但是大多数人只是接受问题而已。他们认为只是麻烦，但并没有把它看作是重大的生产问题。

　　经理:你是否认为这个新产品具有销售潜力?

　　汤姆:是的，我认为如此。琼斯电子公司所取得的结果给人留下了相当深刻的印象。

　　经理:谢谢你。现在要考虑的下一个事项是关于投产所需的估算成本。比尔，你可否给我们谈点投资方面所需的意见?
