Man 1: Good evening. On ‘Business World’ tonight, it’s my pleasure to welcome Peter Bull from the New Zealand Kiwi Fruit Marketing Board - the KMB for short!
男1:晚上好。在今晚的“商業(yè)世界”節(jié)目中,我很榮幸地歡迎新西蘭獼猴桃營銷委員會,簡稱KMB的彼得·布爾!
Good to have you with us, Peter.
很高興您加入我們,彼得。
First of all, for those people who may not have seen kiwi fruit, what are they?
首先,請您向那些可能沒見過獼猴桃的人介紹一下,獼猴桃是什么?
Man 2: Well, they’re a small, green, round fruit and they’re delicious!
男2:嗯......獼猴桃個(gè)頭很小,外觀呈綠色,果形為圓形,非常好吃!
New Zealand now exports more of them than any other fruit and vegetable - so kiwi fruit are very important to us economically.
現(xiàn)在新西蘭出口的獼猴桃的數(shù)量位于其出口的果蔬之首,所以獼猴桃具有極為重要的經(jīng)濟(jì)價(jià)值。
Of course, New Zealand is famous for lamb and wool production, and trade in both of these is still very good - though dairy products is actually the biggest area in terms of export income.
當(dāng)然,新西蘭以生產(chǎn)羔羊和羊毛而聞名,這兩種產(chǎn)品的貿(mào)易仍然很好——盡管乳制品實(shí)際上是最大的出口創(chuàng)收領(lǐng)域。
Man 1: I see ... and can you tell me why the KMB was started?
男1:我明白了……您能告訴我為什么要成立KMB嗎?
Man 2: Well, some years ago kiwi fruit farmers found they were producing more fruit, but the market wasn’t growing at the same rate.
男2:嗯......幾年前,獼猴桃種植戶發(fā)現(xiàn)獼猴桃的產(chǎn)量增多,但是市場需求卻沒有同步增長。
So the KMB was formed - partly to set up distribution to retailers and so on within New Zealand, but also to find more customers for kiwi fruit around the world - in other words, to make the export market bigger.
因此,KMB成立了,一部分是為了在新西蘭境內(nèi)向零售商等建立分銷渠道,另一部分是為了在世界各地尋找更多的獼猴桃客戶,換句話說,是為了擴(kuò)大出口市場。
Man 1: I see . . . now just what do you do to find more customers around the world for a particular product... - especially one which people have probably never seen before?
男1:我明白了……那你怎么做才能在世界范圍內(nèi)為這一特定產(chǎn)品找到更多的客戶……尤其是這樣一種人們可能從未見過的產(chǎn)品?
Man 2: Well, there are a number of ways of doing this.
男2:嗯......有很多方法可以做到。
Some marketing boards might do an international advertising campaign, so that when anybody in one of the target countries watches TV, they’re certain to see the product.
一些市場營銷委員會可能會開展國際廣告活動,這樣當(dāng)目標(biāo)國家的任何人在看電視時(shí),肯定會看到產(chǎn)品。
That’s fine, but of course it costs a lot, and it’s not really suited to our product.
這很好,但當(dāng)然成本也很高,而且不適合我們的產(chǎn)品。
