国际公司考虑开发中南美洲的奶粉市场。

Grace

Sandoz

的总经理，主持今

< br>日的讨论会议。

身为主席的她，

目的是要鼓励每位与会者 有机会发言，

说出自己的想法。

会议的目的是集思广益，

而不是要尽快得到结论，

所以每项方案都应该做多种角度的讨

论。

Grace: OK, let's call the meeting to order. You've all looked at the reports given to you

a few days ago. I've asked Sam, as marketing director, to lay out the main points of

the agenda today. Sam?

好，现在会议正式开始。几天前发下去的通知，大家应该都看过了。我已经请行销主任

来详细说明今天议程的重点。

Sam

？

Sam: Thanks Grace. Well, let me bring your attention to what I see as the main issues.

First are the laws in Central and South America. Will they make it hard for us to do

business there? Second is how to sell in that market. Should we try to sell by

ourselves? Or should we get people there to sell for us? Yes, Grace?

poor health conditions. We all know what happened to Nests when they sold their

powdered milk in Africa. And we don't want that to happen to us. To address this issue,

I'd like to call upon our medical expert, Dr. Vincent Davis, to take the floor. Vincent?

好主意。大家同意吗？很好。这个市场的 主要问题是当地的卫生环境不良。我们都知道

博士发言。

Vincent

Vincent: In Africa, people had very little clean water. So they put dirty water in with the

powder. Many people got sick, and Nests got in trouble because of it.

< br>在非洲，当地的住民可获取的净水少得可怜，所以他们用不洁的水冲泡奶粉。当时许多

人因此生了病，结果雀巢公司就倒霉了。

Grace: Can we find a way to prevent this? Isn't it also very hard to find clean water in

Central and South America?
