[01:53.67]Wallace（W）：楊先生，您不需要自我介紹，因為您很有名氣。
[01:55.46]Y:Well,thanks,Ralph,but I thought I'd try and chair the meeting by the book-at least for a while.
[01:58.41]Y：那真是謝謝了，Ralph先生。但是我想我該盡力依照規(guī)矩來主持這個會議，即使時間很短。
[02:01.36]Newton:Hear,hear.
[02:02.04]Newton（N）：好！好！
[02:02.72]Y:Now,I'd like to get things under way.
[02:03.90]Y：那么，我現(xiàn)在就開始，
[02:05.07]The main topic on today's agenda is the development of a U.S.sales strategy for the new EBP.I'd like to hear any and all of your ideas.Mr.Wallace,you seem in top form today.Could you start the ball rolling?

[02:36.66]Y:It may seem an obvious point,but it's true that advertising determines the rate of sales.Ms.Ivans,did you want to say somethings?
[02:41.18]Y：看起來似乎是很明顯的事，但是銷售額確實是要看廣告的好壞，Ivans女士，你是不是有意見要提出來？
[02:45.69]Ivans:Yes.I wanted to add that one of the main causes of the poor U.S.sales of the original EBP was our advertising strategy.
[02:49.82]Ivans(I)：是的，我想要加一句，舊型的EBP在美國銷路很差的主要原因之一是我們的廣告策略。
[02:53.95]W:Could you be more specific?
[02:54.90]W：請問能不能說得更清楚？
[02:55.86]I:Well,we used the same Japanese agency for both the Japanese and U.S.campaigns,and the campaigns were very similar-but response was 40% lower in the U.S.
[03:01.60]I：也就是說，在日本及美國我們用的是同一家日本廣告代理高，廣告活動也極為相似，結果在美國方面的銷售額少了百分之四十。
[03:07.35]N:So you mean the ad appealed more to a Japanese audience than to an American audience?
[03:09.51]N：你的意思是說那個廣告對日本的顧客比對美國的顧客有吸引力。
[03:11.66]I:Exactly.They used visuals and music to convey an overall image,but did not say much about the product.Japanese are accustomed to this type of advertising,but Americans tend to want more information from ads.
[03:18.52]I：不錯。他們用視覺與音樂的效果來表達整體的形象，對產(chǎn)品的說明卻很少。日本人已習慣于這類型的廣告，但美國人卻傾向于在廣告上得到更多信息。
[03:25.37]W:That's fascinating.What do you think is the historical and cultural basis for this difference in advertising?
[03:28.52]W：真是很有趣。你是不是以為歷在與文化背景的不同，使得廣告的效果有如此的差異呢？
[03:31.67]N:This is interesting,but let's get back to the main issue.
[03:33.51]N：這真是有意思，但是讓我們回到主題上吧。
[03:35.35]Y:Yes,we seem to be getting off the point a little.
[03:36.89]Y：對，我們似乎有點脫離主題了。
[03:38.44]W:Too bad.I really wanted to hear more about it.
[03:40.20]W：很遺憾。我真的很想多聽一些有關這方面的事情。
[03:41.96]Y:Well ,we can extend the meeting into lunchtime,if you like.
[03:43.93]Y：好，假如你喜歡，我們可以把會議延長到午餐時間。
[03:45.91]All:No!!!!
[03:46.53]全體人員：不！??！
