Raj:Let’s take a closer look at the amazing growth in India. For the past three years, the economy has grown at more than eight percent per year. It’s the second-fastest growing economy in the world, behind China. （拉傑：我們仔細看一下印度驚人的成長。過去三年來，印度每年經濟成長超過百分之八。是世界上成長第二快的經濟體，位居中國之後。）
Cindy:I have a question about the Indian stock market. （辛蒂： 我有一個關於印度股市的問題。）
Raj:Could you please hold your questions until after thepresentation? I’ll answer that question later. Thank you. （拉傑：可不可以請妳將問題保留到報告結束之後？我稍後會回答那個問題。謝謝。）
Raj talks for another 30 minutes about the opportunities in India, covering several areas.（關於印度的商機，拉傑又談了三十分鐘，內容涵蓋好幾個領域。）
Raj:Does anyone have any questions? Please feel free toask any questions. （拉傑：有沒有人有問題？請自由發問。）
Daphne:I know India and China are really growing right now. But is this really sustainable over a long period? I get the feeling this type of incredible growth can’t continue forever. Isn’t it possible that there could be some kindof collapse in the growth? （戴芬妮：我知道現在印度和中國的確在成長。可是這樣的情況真的能維持很久嗎？我總覺得，這種不可思議的成長不會永遠持續。難道在成長的過程當中不會發生什麼樣崩垮的情況嗎？）
Raj:No. There are no real signs that this growth is going to slow down significantly in the near future anyway. Are there any more questions? （拉傑：不會，不管怎樣，並沒有確實的跡象顯示這樣的成長在不久的未來會大幅下降。還有任何問題嗎？）
Simone:I’ve read that there’s still a lot of poverty and unemployment in India. Couldn’t these problems threaten the Indian economy? （席夢：我曾經讀到過印度還是有很嚴重的貧窮以及失業問題。這些問題不會威脅到印度的經濟嗎？）
Raj:It’s true that poverty and unemployment are problems in India, but, generally, the population is becoming more affluent. This greater prosperity should definitely help the economy in the long run and enable it to keep going. I guess that’s all I wanted to say about unemployment and poverty. Well, that concludes my presentation. Thank you for listening to my presentation. （拉傑：貧窮和失業的確是印度的問題，可是大體來說，人民越來越富裕了。這般繁榮興盛，長遠來看對整體經濟一定有助益，也能推動經濟持續成長。我想關於失業和貧窮的問題我要說的就是這些了。那麼，我的報告就到此為止。謝謝各位聽我的報告。）
必通詞彙與句型
Could you please hold your questions until after the presentation? 可不可以請您把問題保留到報告結束之後？
Please feel free to (ask/raise) any questions. 請自由（發／提）問。
That’s all I wanted to say about (sth.). 關於（某事物），我要說的就是這些了。
The turnover is below our expectations. （營業額低於我們的預期。）
簡報英文通關小提醒：★★★★
「比～低」通常是用 be below 來表現，為了不混淆 below 跟 under，讓我們確實比較一下兩者的差異。be under 是「在某物下方」的意思（也包含被某物覆蓋著），也就是 being directly lower（直接在下方）。below 則是「與某物有距離，比其物低」的意思，也就是 being on a lower level（在較低的位置）。

ex: Their price is well below our expectations. （他們的價格遠低於我們的預期。）
