080 提问阶段(一)

So that's the end of what I had prepared to share with you today. Now I'd like to open it up for questions. We have about 20 minutes for questions and discussion. I'd be very interested to hear your comments. Yes? Yes, thank you for your excellent presentation. I have one question I would like to ask. You said our sales in Asia overall have been very low in general. I'm wondering what the situation is like in Japan. Good question. As I mentioned, Asia in general is a slow starter, this also includes the Japanese market. There is no notable difference between Japan and other Asian countries. Does that answer your question? Yes, thank you. Another question. Would you care to comment on the cultural impact of multinational companies on local economies? I'm afraid that's outside the scope of my talk. I can talk to you more individually afterwards. What about our future direction in the Asian market? Can you talk a little about what plans we have? I don't think I'm the right person to answer this question. Perhaps our General Manager Mr. Thomas can help to answer.

我今天准备跟大家分享的就到此为止。现在可以开始提问。我们有20分钟的提问和讨论时间。我非常乐意听听你们的看法。有什么问题吗？ 是的，谢谢你的精彩陈述。我想问你一个问题。你说到我们在整个亚洲的销售额总体上来看一起很低。我想知道日本的情况如何。 这个问题提得不错。我刚才提到过，总的来讲，亚洲起步较慢，这也包括日本市场。日本和其他亚洲国家没有太明显的区别。这样回答你的问题可以吗？ 是的，谢谢你。另外一个问题。你能不能评论一下跨国公司对当地经济的文化影响？ 恐怕这不在我的讲话范围之内，以后我可以单独跟你细谈。 亚洲市场的未来发展方向如何？你能讲一下我们现有的计划吗？ 我认为我不适合回答这个问题，也许我们的总经理托马斯先生能帮助回答这个问题。 multinational company 跨国公司 local economy 当地经济 share with 与……分享 open it up for 开始，打开 in general 一般来讲 slow starter 起步慢 comment on 对……评论 care to 喜欢，想 outside the scope 在范围之外 right person 合适的人选
