A: All right, people. We’re holding this meeting to day because we’ve got to do something about oursales, and we need to do it NOW! I want concretesolutions. How do you intend to drive sales...Roger?
B: Well, in fact, we’re the most expensive in the market, so maybe we need to lower our prices tomatch the competitors?
A: Lower our prices? Not very creative. It’ll never flflywith Swan. What kind of thinking is that? Geez.Anybody else have a better plan? Natalie?
C: Um, perhaps, um, a sales promotion. Maybe atwo-for-one offer, or something like that
A: What? That’s the same thing. Bad idea. Reallybad idea. Dammit people come on! Think! TheCEO will be here any minute.
D: Do we have any ideas yet?
C: Yes Mr. Swan, we were kind of considering a two for-one offer to get more competitive.
D: A two-for-one promotion? Hmm. I kind of like thesound of that. It sounds like something we shouldconsider.
A: Yeah, exactly. Just what I was thinking! In fact,that’s a brilliant idea! I’m glad we thought of that.Very creative.

A:好了，各位，我们今天开这个会是因为我们得在销售方面做点事情了，而且我们要马上就做！我需要的是具体的措施。Roger，你打算怎样进行促销呢？
B:嗯，事实是，我们的价格在市场上是最高的，所以或者我们需要把价格降到我们竞争对手的同一水平。
A:降价？没有新意。Swan先生肯定不同意，你到底在想什么？天哪。谁有更好的计划？Natalie，你呢？
C:额，或者，额，搞一个促销活动，例如买二送一或类似的活动。
A:什么？又是老一套。糟糕的建议。太糟糕了。该死的，大家快点动一下脑筋！CEO马上就要来了。
D:我们想到了什么方法没有？
C:是的，Swan先生，我们在考虑一个类似买二送一的促销方式，让我们的产品更具竞争力。
D:买二送一的促销？嗯，我觉得这不错。听起来值得考虑。
A:是的，确实如此。我也是这么想！事实上，这是一个很赞的建议！很高兴我们想到了，非常有新意！
