Have you had any serious discussions with any of the big PC vendors about incorporating your browser with their machines?
您有沒(méi)有和一些大型計(jì)算機(jī)銷售商作過(guò)認(rèn)真探討，把Opera預(yù)裝到他們的電腦里？
There hasn’t been too much of that.
暫時(shí)還沒(méi)有。
Will that affect Opera’s growth potential?
這會(huì)影響到Opera的增長(zhǎng)潛力嗎？
Well, for 10 years we had 30 to 50 percent growth in revenue from the desktop.
10年來(lái)Opera桌面瀏覽器的增長(zhǎng)率一直保持在30%—50%。
I’m hoping we can increase that and we can also increase our market share.
我們希望能提高這一增長(zhǎng)率，也增加市場(chǎng)份額。
Our goal was to increase our market share and then be the No. 2 browser on the desktop.
我們的目標(biāo)是擴(kuò)大市場(chǎng)份額，成為桌面瀏覽器市場(chǎng)上第二大品牌。
I think that, realistically, being No. 1 on the desktop requires something more dramatic to happen than what has already happened.
實(shí)際上我認(rèn)為，要想成為第一的話，需要發(fā)生比現(xiàn)有的事件更加急劇的轉(zhuǎn)變才有可能。
How did you choose the name Opera for the company?
您為什么選擇Opera做為公司名字？
We wanted a short, international name. There’s a lot of hard work that goes into making Opera.
我們需要一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)潔而又國(guó)際化的名字。我們?cè)趧?chuàng)立Opera上投入大量工作
There’s multimedia in Opera and we felt that that is a good combination.
Opera擁有多媒體特性，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)這和Opera的本意“歌劇”是一個(gè)很好的結(jié)合。
Later on we actually found out that Opera means work (in Italian), which we also think is correct, because we spend a lot of time tuning the browser.
后來(lái)我們發(fā)現(xiàn)在意大利語(yǔ)中 Opera的意思就是工作。我們認(rèn)為這也符合我們的想法，因?yàn)槲覀冊(cè)谘芯繛g覽器上花了大量的時(shí)間和精力。
Looking ahead, do you see the bulk of your growth coming from Europe, Asia, Africa一in other words, markets outside of the US?
展望未來(lái)，您是否認(rèn)為Opera未來(lái)的主要增長(zhǎng)點(diǎn)是在美國(guó)之外的市場(chǎng)如歐洲、亞洲和非洲這些地方？
No, we’re going to grow in the US. It’s just taking a little bit of time. We are setting up to be more aggressive in the United States.
不，我們將繼續(xù)在美國(guó)發(fā)展，這需要一定時(shí)間。我們將會(huì)在美國(guó)更為積極主動(dòng)
We’ll be doing things in the United States that will make people notice us more. It takes time.
提高在美國(guó)的知名度，還需要些時(shí)間。
For instance, in the Japanese market we didn’t even have a Japanese version in 2002.
例如，在2002年時(shí)，我們還沒(méi)有日語(yǔ)版。
Now we have a very significant brand, which is being used in all the products on the mobile side.
現(xiàn)在我們有一個(gè)很重要的品牌，所有移動(dòng)設(shè)備上的產(chǎn)品都用Opera瀏覽器。
