　　J： Steven， can you tell me in a nutshell what the retail market is like in Taiwan?

　　Steven，你可以简单地告诉我台湾零售市场的现况吗?

　　S： Well， as per capita income goes up and up， the growth sector seems to be in the to-end.

　　唔，由于每人的平均收入不断地增高，市场的发展领域似乎偏向于高价位商品。

　　J： Retail is going upscale here? Taiwan is certainly growing more quickly than I had imagined.

　　此地的零售走入高价位了?台湾的发展比我想像得要快多了。

　　没错，现在的台湾和我小时候完全不一样了，这里发展得非常快速。

　　J： Do you think the trend will continue?

　　你想这种趋势还会维持下去吗?

　　S： I don’t see why not. We do have some problems， but we are still willing to work hard-and wages aren‘t too high at this point.

　　我不觉得有什么不行!虽然是有一些问题，但我们仍愿意勤奋工作，而且现阶段工资仍不算太高。

　　J： Everything I’ve seen so far is very impressive. Very impressive indeed.
