背景:里面一共有2个人物,分别是Y品牌开发部门的Frank和Sarah。Frank和Sarah讨论产品定价问题。
纯英文对话示例
Frank: Now I think it is the right time to discuss about the price for the new product.
Sarah: Yup. I think there are two things to be considered when we set price for a new product. The first thing to be taken into account is the cost, because material cost is the basis of the product. Since we produce a certain product for profit, the selling price is bound to be higher than the cost. Secondly, we need to consider who the consumer is. It means that we need to think about the consumer positioning in advance. For example, different people in different age groups can accept different price levels.
Frank: I quite agree with you. Besides what you mentioned, competitor's entering cannot be ignored. A buyer's decision may depends on competitor's price and a lower price may be effective to discourage the competitors to enter the market very quickly.
Sarah: Absolutely. I've just thought that except the material cost, we also need to think ahead to transportation cost and advertising cost.

中英文对照对话示例
Frank: Now I think it is the right time to discuss about the price for the new product. 我认为现在是时候为新产品讨论定价了。
Sarah: Yup. 是的。I think there are two things to be considered when we set price for a new product. 我认为在为新产品定价时,有2方面需要考虑。The first thing to be taken into account is the cost, because material cost is the basis of the product. 第一方面需要考虑的是成本,因为材料成本是产品的基础。Since we produce a certain product for profit, the selling price is bound to be higher than the cost. 由于我们生产某种产品是为了获取利润,售价一定要比成本高。Secondly, we need to consider who the consumer is. 第二,我们需要考虑顾客是谁。It means that we need to think about the consumer positioning in advance. 这意味着我们需要提前考虑消费者定位。For example, different people in different age groups can accept different price levels. 例如,不同年龄段的人群能接受的价格水平也不同。
Frank: I quite agree with you. 我非常赞同。Besides what you mentioned, competitor's entering cannot be ignored. 除了你所提到的,竞争者的进入也不可忽视。A buyer's decision may depends on competitor's price and a lower price may be effective to discourage the competitors to enter the market very quickly. 一个买家的决定很可能会根据竞争对手的价格,并且较低的价格也许会有效阻止竞争对手过快地进入市场。
Sarah: Absolutely. 当然。I've just thought that except the material cost, we also need to think ahead to transportation cost and advertising cost. 我刚想到除了材料成本,我们也需要提前考虑运输成本和广告成本。
