DON BRADLEY: I' d like you to look at those figures: 堂．布拉德利：我想请大家看一下这些数字：As you can see, the maximum retail price for the Mark 2 must be 60. 正如大家所看到的，马克二世的最高价格必须是60。 That means, that to keep our margins, our production costs must be no more than 14 per unit. 这就是说，为了保持我们的利润，我们的生产成本每件一定不能超过14。
DEREK JONES: I' d rather have a retail price of 75. 德里克．琼斯：我宁愿零售价是75。
I don' t believe that the Mark 2 can be produced for less than 18 per unit. 我认为马克二世的单个生产成本不会低于18。
DON BRADLEY: That retail price is not a realistic option, Derek. 堂．布拉德利：这样的零售价是不实际的，德里克。
We' ve done the research. 我们做过了调查。
DEREK JONES: But it' s not just a toy. This is a genuine breakthrough. 德里克．琼斯：但这不只是个玩具。这是一项真正的突破。
DON: Derek... 堂：德里克……
DEREK JONES: Let me finish--this is a genuine breakthrough and the market will be prepared to pay a premium price for something that is so advanced. 德里克．琼斯：让我说完--这是个真正的突破，市场对某种如此先进的东西会有所准备的，他们会愿意出高价。
DON BRADLEY: Derek, let me... 堂．布拉德利：德里克， 让我……
DEREK JONES: Just a minute. 德里克．琼斯：等一下。
There is nothing like this on the market, we have to take a chance with it. 市场上没有老的产品，我们得冒冒险。
CLIVE HARRIS: Derek, I don' d like arguing with you, but I have to agree with Don. 克莱夫．哈里斯：德里克，我不想跟你争论，但我不同意你的看法。
I' m sorry, we can' t take the risk. 对不起，我们不能冒这个险。
I say we retail at 60 and produce at 14. 我的看法是零售价60，生产成本14。
DEREK JONES: No manufacturer will be able to produce the Mark 2 for 14 per unit and maintain the quality. 德里克．琼斯：没有哪家制造商能以单个成本14来生产马克二世而又能保证质量。
CLIVE HARRIS: I would rather not decide anything now. 克莱夫．哈里斯：我不想现在就下决定。
DEREK JONES: I would like to show it to Hazelford Systems.
