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: 九月分有个贸易展。妳认为我们应该参加吗?
玛丽安: 可能不要。它需要做很多准备工作。而且,光是为了获得一个摊位就要花很多钱。
柯 瑞: 我知道成本会很高,但参加了会让我们有机会与不同的供应商和买家建立联系。从长远来看,我们将能够增加销售额。
玛丽安: 是啊。但也有可能没有人对我们的产品感兴趣。
