Now, I'd like to summarise our performance last year, before moving on to plans for 2003.
現(xiàn)在,在為2003年做計(jì)劃前,我將總結(jié)我們?nèi)ツ甑谋憩F(xiàn)。
I've decided that every year we should introduce a competition to guess the best-selling product throughout our stores.
我決定每年我們都要推出一項(xiàng)競(jìng)賽,來(lái)評(píng)選我們商店里最暢銷(xiāo)的產(chǎn)品。
It's never been the same for two years running. For example, in 2000 it was mobile phones.
這兩年的情況都不一樣。例如,2000年是手機(jī)。
The following year record sales of radios were achieved. I'm quite surprised, especially as we'd predicted it would be electronic organisers.
第二年,收音機(jī)的銷(xiāo)量達(dá)到了創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的水平。我很驚訝,尤其是我們之前預(yù)測(cè)的是電子記事本。
(Any feedback on this idea would be welcome.)
(關(guān)于這個(gè)想法的任何反饋都是受歡迎的。)
Recent investment in our furniture department has resulted in great improvements in sales:
最近在家具部門(mén)的投資已經(jīng)使銷(xiāo)售業(yè)績(jī)大幅提升。

其中包括兒童用品、花園用品,最引人注目的是辦公家具,去年公司的銷(xiāo)售額翻了一番。
Now to the announcement of the most successful branch. Our Paris branch has held this position for two years, but now it's the turn of New York, with the London branch in second place.
現(xiàn)在宣布我們最成功的分公司。我們巴黎的分公司已經(jīng)占據(jù)這個(gè)位置兩年了,但是現(xiàn)在這個(gè)位置是紐約的,第二名是倫敦分公司。
Looking to the future, we're planning a number of developments. Our Personal Loan Service received much praise from customers when it was brought in last year.
展望未來(lái),我們正在計(jì)劃一系列的發(fā)展。我們的個(gè)人貸款業(yè)務(wù)自去年推出以來(lái),深受客戶(hù)好評(píng)。

繼續(xù)來(lái)看新的商店。你會(huì)記得,12個(gè)月前,我們關(guān)閉了一些不賺錢(qián)的商業(yè)街商店。
