關(guān)于商業(yè)的英語對話 ：Advertising 廣告
Helen：We want to use the right marketing mix to reach our target market.
海倫：我們想要使用正確的行銷媒體來達到市場目標。
Leonard：Certainly. We've done some tactical planning already. We think we've come up with a good plan.
李奧納德：當然。我們已經(jīng)完成一些戰(zhàn)略計劃。我們認為我們已經(jīng)提出一項不錯的計劃。
Helen：What media do you plan to use?
海倫：你們準備使用何種媒體?
Leonard：Well, taking into account the image you want to project, we've asked our copywriters to prepare copy for computer magazines and the Internet first.
李奧納德：考慮到你們想要表現(xiàn)的形象，我們已要求撰寫文案的同事準備好計算機雜志稿及網(wǎng)際網(wǎng)絡(luò)用稿。
Helen：So that way, our advertising dollars would be focused on people we know are computer users.
海倫：這樣一來，我們的廣告花費就會針對在，如我們所知，計算機使用者身上。
Leonard：Yes. We'll also run billboard and newspaper ads to help create broad brand recognition.
李奧納德：是的。我們還同時刊登廣告看板及報紙廣告來幫助創(chuàng)立明顯的品牌識別。
Helen：Will there be any direct mail?
海倫：會有任何廣告郵件嗎?
Leonard：No. That would not be correct for a manufacturer like you. Leave that to the retailers.
李奧納德：沒有。對像你們這樣的制造商來說，那并不是正確的作法。把這種方式留給零售商吧。
Helen：Good point. Please prepare a more detailed proposal, and then I'll pitch it to the higher-ups.
海倫：說得沒錯。請準備一份更詳細的提案，然后我會把它推銷給高階主管。
Leonard：Great. We'll get started right away.
李奧納德：太好了。我們馬上準備。
關(guān)于商業(yè)的英語對話 ：Promotional Activities 促銷活動
Lester：As you know, the FastTrek 2000 is due for release next month. I think we've finally worked the kinks out.
萊司特：正如你所知，F(xiàn)astTrek 2000 預(yù)定在下個月推出。我想我們已經(jīng)解決了所有瑣碎的問題。
Helen：Great. That's vital. Quality is the focus of the ad campaign. The boards must work well if they're going to be the cash cow we want them to be.
海倫：太好了。那很重要。品質(zhì)是廣告活動的焦點。如果要讓這些適配卡如我們所要的成為搖錢樹的話，就不能出亂子。
Lester：Let's go over our promotion plans again.
萊司特：我們再看一遍我們的促銷計劃。
Helen：OK. We have six major retailers running demonstrations at most branches. And our exhibition team is already on the road setting up for computer shows.
海倫：我們有六家主要的零售商在大部分的分店做展示。而且我們的展示隊伍已經(jīng)為計算機展在起跑了。
Lester：Good. What about print and radio?
萊司特：很好，那印刷品和廣播呢?
Helen：We've taken out full-page ads for two large trade magazines. And more important, our press releases have been well received.
海倫：我們在兩家大的商業(yè)雜志刊登了全版廣告。更重要的是，我們的新聞稿已經(jīng)全被采納了。
Lester：Any larger ads?
萊司特：有再大一點的廣告嗎?
Helen：Yes. We're putting the same full-page ad in the Sunday edition of three major newspapers.
海倫：有的。我們在三大報的星期天版面放了相同的全版廣告。
Lester：Sounds perfect.
萊司特：聽起來很周全。
Helen：But nothing ever works out as you want it. So I have a number of other tricks up my sleeve, as well.
海倫：不過有時候就是會事與愿違，所以我還有很多其它的妙計。
