听力文本如下:

Hannah says that this is “consistent with Vision Corporation's market share segment.”

To be “consistent” (consistent) is to be compatible with, or to be in agreement with something that is expected.

Hannah is simply saying that the data (or information) that she found isn't surprising; it's consistent with their market share segment.

It makes sense; it matches what they thought would be true.

We could say, for example, that many people in Japan eat a lot of rice, and that's consistent with what people in Asia generally eat - or many people.

So we know that many countries in Asia eat a lot of rice; Japan is a country in Asia, and Japan eats a lot of rice, so that's consistent with this other knowledge that we have.

A “segment” (segment) is a piece or part or section of something, so a “market share segment” is the amount of the market share that the company has, or what percentage of product users buy Vision Corporation's product.

When Hannah says that the data is consistent with Vision Corporation's market share segment, she means that they already knew their market share was approximately 13%, and learning that 13% of the focus group participants buy Vision Corporation's product confirmed or supported what they already knew.

Hannah says that she “asked the participants what features they wanted when purchasing the product and this table shows their answers.”

In this context, a “table” (table) is a square or rectangular chart that lists information horizontally (meaning side to side) and vertically (meaning up and down).

Bus and train schedules are often shown in tables.

Hannah says that in this table the answers are shown in “descending order” “Descending (descending) order (order)” means that the most important features or characteristics are listed at the top (they're at the top of the table), and the least important features are listed, or put, at the bottom.

For example, the numbers 62, 41, 32, 19 are listed in descending order, because the biggest number, 62, is first and the smallest number, 19, is last.

If they were listed or put on the table the other way, 19, 32, 41, 62, with 19 at the top and 62 at the bottom, they would be in “ascending order,” “ascending (ascending) order (order).”
