A：We're having some quality-control problems, Jim. We need to go to the source to work them out.
      吉姆，我們有一些品管的問(wèn)題。我們必須找出問(wèn)題根源并設(shè)法解決。

B：What problems are you having, exactly?
      你們究竟有什么問(wèn)題？

A：The complaint rate for our new product line is very high, almost seven percent.
      我們新產(chǎn)品的抱怨率非常高，幾乎高達(dá)百分之七。

product的反義詞

B：That's high.
      的確很高。

A：Yes. We keep finding problems when testing the boards.
      沒(méi)錯(cuò)。我們測(cè)試聲卡時(shí)一直發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題。

B：But your promotional materials claim the boards are the least expensive of their type on the market.
      可是你們的促銷(xiāo)材料要求這種聲卡必須是市場(chǎng)上同類(lèi)型產(chǎn)品中最便宜的。

product

A：The least expensive, but still fully functional. And we think that your factory needs to take measures to improve quality control.
      是要最便宜，但仍要有完備的功能。我們認(rèn)為你們工廠需要采取措施來(lái)改善品管。

B：That will involve additional expenses for us, which we'll have to pass on to you as a rate hike.
      那意味我們會(huì)有額外的開(kāi)銷(xiāo)，而我們會(huì)把價(jià)格增加部分轉(zhuǎn)嫁到你們身上。

A：I'm afraid that's unacceptable. Your contract says that you will deliver a product with a reject rate of less than five percent.
      恐怕我們無(wú)法接受。你們的合約上說(shuō)你們會(huì)以低于百分之五的瑕疵率交貨。

B：Well, I'll tell you what, Mike. I'll review the contract and talk with management. Then we'll get together and hash this out.
      嗯，萊斯特我跟你說(shuō)，我會(huì)再看一遍合約，并和管理部門(mén)討論。然后我們會(huì)一起討論解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。

product的意思

A：We're going to have a problem meeting the budget for the production of our new sound board.
      我們撥給新聲卡產(chǎn)品的預(yù)算會(huì)有問(wèn)題。

B：How much of a problem?
      問(wèn)題有多嚴(yán)重？

A：Well, it seems that we underestimated the costs. According to the factory, it will cost about eight percent more than initially projected.
      看樣子我們似乎低估了成本。根據(jù)制造廠商的說(shuō)法，成本會(huì)比原先計(jì)劃的還高出百分之八。

B：Let me see . . .Looking at this, if my calculations are correct, we are about three thousand dollars over budget?
      我看看……看這狀況，假如我算得沒(méi)錯(cuò)，我們大約比預(yù)算多出了三千美金。

A：That's right. It's going to cost about three thousand more to complete the first order.
      是的。大約要多花三千元來(lái)完成第一批訂單。

B：I see...
      我明白了……

product的反義詞

A：But if sales go as well as they should, that's still well within our profit margin. Proceeds from sales of the first order will easily cover the cost of the second order.
      不過(guò)假如銷(xiāo)售狀況有應(yīng)有的表現(xiàn)，那就仍在我們的獲利范圍之內(nèi)。第一批定單的營(yíng)收將會(huì)很容易就抵過(guò)第二批定單的成本。

B：In other words, you only need a budget increase for the first order.
      換句話說(shuō)，你只需要增加第一批定單的預(yù)算。

product的近義詞

A：Exactly. After that, the product should finance itself.
      完全正確。之后，產(chǎn)品本身就可以獲利，不需要再增加預(yù)算。

product的翻譯

B：OK. Well, you know, all major budget decisions must be approved by our CEO and the financial officer.
      好的，你知道，所有主要的預(yù)算決策需要總裁及財(cái)政主管的批準(zhǔn)。

A：Yes, I know. But I thought that if I could get your support first, it might make getting approval easier.
      是的，我知道。只是我覺(jué)得如果我能先取得你的支持可能會(huì)比較容易得到批準(zhǔn)。

B：Well, you've got my support on this. I'll see what I can do to get the top brass to agree.
      嗯，你已經(jīng)得到我的支持了。我會(huì)看看有什么方法可以讓高層主管同意。
