041 Making Transitions in the Body of the Presentation 陈述中的过渡

Dialogue 1 对话一

A: .. Now， that＇s all I want to say about world coal reserves. So let＇s move on to the next topic， renewable resources. There are three things we have to consider when talking about renewable resources. First， sustainability； second， marketability；lastly， the reality factor. Let＇s talk about each point in more detail. .. John，would you like to take it from here？

译：关于世界煤炭储量我想说的就这么多。那我们接下来进入下一个主题，可再生资源。谈到可再生资源，我们要考虑三个事情。第一是可持续性，第二是可销售性，最后是现实因素。我们来详细讨论一下每一点…约翰，你接着说一下吧？

B: Certainly. As my colleague just mentioned， sustainability is a major concern when examining the potential output of a resource. Of course， as you can see from the content of our presentation today， with renewable resources， there is a much larger sustainability than with non-renewable resources. As was already said， it is always better to seek a renewable source of energy when possible.
译：好的。像我的同事刚刚提到的那样，在评价一种资源的潜在产量时可持续性是主要因素。当然，你们从我们今天所做的陈述内容中也能看出来，可再生资源比非再生资的可持续性要大得多。正如刚才所说，只要有可能寻求能源的可再生资源总不是坏事。

Dialogue 2 对话二

A: So that concludes the introduction. Now let's move to the first part of my talk, which is about 2006 fiscal year marketing plan. So first, right off the bat,when looking at the marketing plan, tell me some of the goals that we had set this year to begin with....

译：介绍部分已经结束了。现在我们接下来看一我要讲的第一部分内容，有关2006财政年度的销售计划。首先看一下销售计划，马上告诉我们今年设定的最初几个目标是什么……

B: We wanted to appeal to a younger set of consumers and also, in line with that goal, redo our image....

译：我们想吸引一批年轻的顾客，同时重塑符合这一目标的形象....

A: That's correct. If you remember, we also set a goal to double distribution in overseas markets. Now, when looking at the data to evaluate whether or not we made our goals, there are three things to consider. First, the original condition of the market, second, our marketing numbers from the previous year, and third, our final sales figures for this year. Now I want to describe for you the second and third parts. If you look at the overhead, you'll see a graph.... The blue line represents our sales from the year 2005, the red line is the sales in 2006.... As you can see, our sales in 2005 were quite slow to start off with, but managed to make decent performance in the last part of the year. On the other hand, you can see this year's sales took off like a rocket.
译：非常正确。不知你们是否记得，我们还设立了一个目标，即把海外市场的销售量增加一倍。现在看一下数据，估算一下我们是否已经达到了这些目标，有三个因素要考虑:第一是原来的市场情况，第二是我们从去年以来的销售数量，第三是我们今年最终的销售额。现在我想向大家介绍一下第二、三部分的情况。抬头向上看，这里有一个图表…蓝色的线代表我们从2005年以来的销售额，红线代表的是2006年的销售额大家都能看到，我们在2005年的销售额一开始很低，但在后半年却相当好。另一方面，你们也看到今年的销售额像火箭一样急速上升。
