 　　Make a product presentation¹ 产品介绍

　　Thank you. I'm very glad to be here.  谢谢，我很高兴能在这儿演讲。

　　As Ms.Tina said, the purpose of my presentation today is to familiarize you with the new EBP.  正如蒂娜女士所说，今天我讲演的目的就是向大家介绍新的电子书。

　　As you probably know, EBP stands for Electronic² Book Player.  我想大家可能已经知道，EBP就是Electronic Book Player（电子书）的缩写。

　　Our company put the original EBP on the market a year ago,  一年以前我们推出EBP到市场上。

　　but we have since all developed an improved model which we believe will be a big seller³ in both China and the U.S. 之后我们公司又继续研发出一款改良型产品，我们相信在中国和美国都会非常畅销。

　　Ms.Yang, can you tell us in what ways the new EBP is better than the old model？ 杨女士，您能不能为我们介绍一下新款的EBP在哪些方面比旧款的好？

　　Certainly. First of all, the old model had a rather small screen, so not much information could appear at one time.  当然。首先旧款因为画面小，所以无法显示很多的信息。

　　So on the new model, we have made the screen much bigger and... 而在新款机种中，我们把画面加大了许多。还有……

　　Excuse me, but what are the EBPs mainly used for? 对不起，请问EBP最主要的用途是什么？

　　Oh, there are many uses and I'll explain them in detail a little later. First, I'd like to... 噢！它有很多用途，稍等一会儿，我会详细地加以说明。首先，我想要…

　　Before you go on. Ms Yang,  杨女士，

　　could you tell us if the original EBP sold well in the U.S.? 您能否先告诉我们，旧款的EBP在美国是否卖得很好？

　　You were right, Mr. Tim.  蒂姆先生，正如您所说，

　　Your colleagues⁴ do want about it. 您的同事们真的想知道有关EBP所有的一切。
