A: In this area Guangsheng company is our main competitor. They've been developing rapidly and now are the biggest in terms of market share.
B: We must admit they've been doing well in product development. But they have their weakness at the moment. They have the lowest profitability.
A: Yes, in terms of this we still have a lower market share than us and their products are sold at slightly higher prices. But their annual return shows greater profitability.
B: We should get the management department and the working staff to realize our situation and call on everyone for effort.
A: 在這個領域，我們主要的競爭對手是光盛公司。他們發展迅速，至今已經占據最大的市場份額。
B: 我們必須承認他們在產品拓展方面做的很好。但是眼下他們也有弱點，他們的利潤率最低。
A: 不錯，就這點來說，我們是有優勢的，但是看看我們的第二個競爭對手，利華公司。他們的市場份額比我們小，產品價格比我們略高，但他們的年利潤比我們要高。
B: 我們應該讓管理部門和在職員工意識到我們的處境并號召大家一起努力。

（張先生和本正在談論他們的競爭對手。）
張：本先生，請談談我們的主要競爭對手的情況。
本：好的。我帶回了他們的產品說明書和價格表，請看。
張：你對他們兩家產品印象如何？
本：兩家公司的產品式樣更新快，質量都不錯，但價格上有差異。總體上，MT公司產品的定價比訊通公司的高一些，但后者的外觀設計更新潮。
張：與他們相比，你認為我們的產品如何？
本：我認為我們的產品更具有競爭力。你看，我們收到了不少訂單。
張：能說具體點兒嗎？
本：好的。我們的產品質量沒問題，價格有優勢。但是坦率的說，我們的產品款式還不夠多。
張：確實如此。
