You have some time to look at questions 11-16.

你有一些時間來看看第11-16題。

Now listen carefully to the interview And Answions Questions 11 - 16.

現在仔細聽一下面試，回答問題11-16。

Thank you both for coming in for this preparatory meeting.

感謝你們兩位來參加這次籌備會議。

As you know, we have an extremely important meeting with our investors next week.

如你所知，我們下週將與我們的投資者舉行一次極其重要的會議。

While I am more than confident in the work we have done over the past year, we must be prepared to justify our progress to our investors.

雖然我對我們在過去一年所做的工作充滿信心，但我們必須準備向投資者證明我們的進展。

After all, they are the ones who pay our salaries first.

畢竟，他們是首先支付我們工資的人。

I want to review the positive outcomes we've achieved over the past year.

我想回顧一下我們在過去一年中取得的積極成果。

This will make up the bulk of our presentation.

這將構成我們演講的大部分內容。

Amy, would you like to give us a rundown on this front?

艾米，你願意給我們介紹一下這方面的情況嗎？

Sure.

當然。

We have achieved many positive outcomes over the past year and furthermore.

在過去的一年裡，我們取得了許多積極的成果，此外。

We've achieved more in the past four months than in the previous eight months.

我們在過去四個月裡取得的成就比前八個月還要多。

So we're certainly showing significant progress First and most important sales of our app are up 50% from last year.

是以，我們肯定顯示出重大進展 首先，最重要的是我們的應用程序的銷售比去年增長了50%。

Totalling 586,000 units in the past 12 months.

在過去的12個月中共有586,000套。

Up from 390,000 units in the previous year.

比前一年的39萬輛有所上升。

This is great progress 2nd.

這是偉大的進步，第二。

We are achieving a higher purchase rate While our sales are up 50%,, the number of total downloads has remained relatively constant.

我們正在實現更高的購買率 雖然我們的銷售額增長了50%，但總的下載量仍然相對穩定。

This means our conversion rate has increased 50% as well.

這意味著我們的轉換率也增加了50%。

This clearly demonstrates that our efforts in this area have been fruitful by targeting the conversion rate instead of the raw download rate.

這清楚地表明，我們在這一領域的努力通過瞄準轉換率而不是原始下載率而取得了成果。

We have raised our standing and search result priority within the application stores.

我們已經提高了我們在應用程序商店中的地位和搜索結果的優先級。

This will eventually lead to a higher download rate and even more sales.

這最終將導致更高的下載率，甚至更多的銷售。

The upward trajectory here is very clear.

這裡的上升軌跡是非常清楚的。

We have also decreased the complaint rate from 2.5% to 1.5%.

我們還將投訴率從2.5%降至1.5%。

While our goal is to get this rate as close to zero as possible.

雖然我們的目標是讓這一比率儘可能地接近零。

This decrease represents a positive outcome and shows that our efforts to increase customer satisfaction have been successful.

這一減少代表了一個積極的結果，表明我們提高客戶滿意度的努力是成功的。

Yes, but if I may interrupt, I actually have to disagree on one point, I don't believe it should be a goal to get the complaints rate down to zero.

是的，但如果我可以打斷一下，實際上我必須在一個點上提出異議，我不認為應該把投訴率降到零作為一個目標。

While we certainly don't want a high complaint rate, the resources spent on getting the complaint rate down are better spent on increasing downloads and increasing the conversion rate.

雖然我們當然不希望有很高的投訴率，但花在降低投訴率上的資源最好用在增加下載和提高轉化率上。

I think this is an important point to be made to the investors.

我認為這是要向投資者提出的一個重要觀點。

While we certainly value the quality of our product, we are much more focused on maximizing the value of the investors investment.

我們當然重視我們產品的品質，但我們更關注投資者投資價值的最大化。

I think such attack will go over well with the investors.

我認為這樣的攻擊會得到投資者的青睞。

You now have some time to look at questions 17-20.

你們現在有時間看一下第17-20題。

Now listen to the rest of the interview and answer questions 17 to 20.

現在聽一下訪談的其餘部分，回答第17至20題。

That's a great point.

這是個很好的觀點。

I really want to emphasize that we are doing everything we can to optimize and maximize the money when resources we've been supplied with.

我真的想強調，我們正在盡一切努力優化和最大限度地利用我們所獲得的資金和資源。

Speaking of which We all agreed that we will be asking for 20% increase in operating budget.

說到這裡，我們都同意，我們將要求增加20%的營運預算。

Yes, yes.

是的，是的。

Good.

很好。

And how are you going to justify such an increase?

而你要如何證明這樣的增長是合理的？

Well, certainly by pointing to the statistical outcomes he previously referenced but also by our need to expand, we need to increase our catalog of apps and to do this, we will need to hire at least two additional developers.

好吧，當然是通過指出他之前提到的統計結果，但也是通過我們需要擴大，我們需要增加我們的應用程序目錄，為了做到這一點，我們將需要僱用至少兩個額外的開發人員。

In addition to this.

除此以外。

I think we are now at the point in our business, we're hiring a market analyst will be justified.

我認為我們現在的業務已經到了這個地步，我們僱用一個市場分析員將是合理的。

Such a person could be charged with finding niches to exploit within the market right now.

這樣的人可以負責在現在的市場中找到可以利用的利基。

Our operations in this regard are rudimentary at best, an expert in the field could help increase ourselves volume significantly.

我們在這方面的操作充其量是粗略的，一位該領域的專家可以幫助我們大大增加自己的數量。

Such an expert salary might take up 5% of our operating budget but could lead to a 10% increase in sales or more.

這樣的專家工資可能會佔用我們營運預算的5%，但可以帶來10%的銷售增長，甚至更多。

The 5% difference would result in a net income increase of almost £100,000. I agree hiring a market analyst is long overdue.

這5%的差異將導致淨收入增加近10萬英鎊。我同意僱用一個市場分析師是早就應該的。

One more justification for a budget increase is an across the board pay rise.

增加預算的另一個理由是全面加薪。

If only at the rate of inflation 2% say this would go a long way to increasing worker morale and output quality.

如果只是按照2%的通貨膨脹率說，這對提高工人的士氣和產出品質會有很大的幫助。

In addition to this, That is the end of Section two, you will now have half a minute to check your answers.

除此之外，這就是第二部分的結束，你現在有半分鐘的時間來檢查你的答案。

Let's take a look at the answer key and see how many you got correct.
