Dialogue 1
A：OK, here are the graphs and figures for this month sales. Let’s review them all together.
B：This first one. I have a question. This graphs is marking the sales performance for our line of hair products, right? Can this line be right? It looks like our sales plummeted. I can’t believe that we did that poorly. If I remember correctly, sales went down slightly, but not as dramatically as the graphs shows.
A: I think you are looking at the wrong line. The rapid drop in sales wasn’t our hair products. You’re correct, the hair products sales decreased slightly, but not dramatically. The one that didn’t do so hot this month was the cleaning products. I think there was a problem in the marketing plan. Some people were offended our advisements for our cleaning products, but it was already too late to mitigate the damage, so our mistake shows up in the sales.
B: Well, the good news is the new industrial cleaning products really took off. Look how the sales have shot up over the last two weeks.
A: That is our one major success. If you look at the other graphs, you can see that most of the other product lines remained steady with little increase.
B: At least they stayed the same. That’s better than dropping.
A： 好的，这是本月销售额的图表。让我们一起复习一下。
B： 这第一个。我有个问题。这张图是我们护发产品系列的销售业绩，对吗？这条线对吗？看来我们的销售额直线下降了。我不敢相信我们做得那么差。如果我没记错的话，销售额略有下降，但没有图表显示的那么显著。
A： 我想你看错线了。销售额的快速下降不是我们的头发产品。你说得对，护发产品的销售额略有下降，但没有显著下降。本月卖的不是很好的是清洁产品。我认为营销计划有问题。一些人对清洁产品的广告冒很反感，但要减轻损害已经为时已晚，所以我们的错误在销售中显现出来。
B： 好消息是，新的工业清洁产品真的很受欢迎。看看过去两周的销售额是如何猛增的。
A： 这是我们的一大成功。如果你看其他图表，你可以看到大多数其他产品线保持稳定，略有增长。
B： 至少他们没变。这总比下降好。
Dialogue 2
A: What do you think will the future trends for the global musical industry?
B: From my perspective as a musician, I can see a dramatic increase in the popularity of Latin music, even now. If this trend continues, I imagine the popularity of Salsa dancing will also rise dramatically. This may result in a slight decrease in the popularity of other types of music.
A: What do you think of the sudden drop in interest in classical music?
B: I think this trend has been in the works for quite some times. As more and more varieties of music become available to consumers, the classic standards may suffer in the popularity contest. I think the drop in interest of classical music hasn’t been sudden at all, it’s been slow and steady for many years now.
A: Is there any type of music that is consistently poplar with most people.
B: If you look at the numbers, rock and roll music has remained a steady constant through the years. I expect the popularity of rock and roll will stay the same in the coming years.
A： 你认为全球音乐产业的未来趋势是什么？
B： 从我作为一名音乐家的角度来看，即使是现在，我也能看到拉丁音乐的受欢迎程度在急剧上升。如果这一趋势继续下去，我想萨尔萨舞的受欢迎程度也会急剧上升。这可能会导致其他类型音乐的受欢迎程度略有下降。
A： 你对古典音乐的兴趣突然下降有什么看法？
B： 我认为这一趋势已经出现了好几次了。随着越来越多的音乐品种向消费者开放，经典标准可能会在人气竞争中受损。我认为对古典音乐的兴趣下降并不是突然的，多年来一直是缓慢而稳定的。
A： 是否有任何类型的音乐一直受到大多数人的欢迎。
B： 如果你看看这些数字，摇滚乐多年来一直保持稳定不变。我预计摇滚乐的受欢迎程度在未来几年将保持不变。
