C: Corey M: Marian
Corey shows his business partner, Marian, a website for an upcoming trade fair.
C: There is a trade fair coming up in September. Do you think we should attend?
M: Probably not. It will take a lot of work to prepare for it. Also, it costs a lot just to get a spot.
C: I know it’ll be costly, but joining it will give us an opportunity to make connections with different suppliers and buyers. We’ll be able to increase sales in the long run.
M: Yeah. But there’s also a chance that no one will be interested in our products.

柯 瑞: 九月分有個貿易展。妳認為我們應該參加嗎?
瑪麗安: 可能不要。它需要做很多準備工作。而且,光是為了獲得一個攤位就要花很多錢。
柯 瑞: 我知道成本會很高,但參加了會讓我們有機會與不同的供應商和買家建立聯繫。從長遠來看,我們將能夠增加銷售額。
瑪麗安: 是啊。但也有可能沒有人對我們的產品感興趣。
