商标形象

A:n, sit down please.

A:格林先生，请坐。

B:Thank you, Mr. Sun. Iam very sorry for coming late, but something urgent came up at the last minute.

B:谢谢孙先生。很抱歉我来晚了，但我临走时突然有点急事。

A:That's all right. Let's get down to business. I was told that you have some comments to make about the registeration of our trademarks.

A:没关系，我们谈正事吧。我听说贵公司对我们的商标注册有异议。

B:Yes, I work in a law firm. I have been asked by the British trading company to come here and have a face-to-face consultation with you.

B:是的，我在法律事务所工作，这次是受英国贸易公司委托来跟您面谈的。

A:You are welcome. I believe that you have some problems to discuss with me regarding the application for the registration of our trademarks.

A:欢迎。您是不是想和我谈谈我们申请商标注册的问题？

B:Yes, you are applying to register the trademark of "Golden Dragon" for table lights, right?

B:是的，贵公司正在申请金龙牌台灯，是吗？

A:Yes, you are right.

A:对。

B:You may not know this, but the dragon represents an evil omen in our country. It's not appropriate to register the brand.

B:您也许不知道，龙在我国是不祥之物。采用这个牌子恐怕不合适。

A:Oh, will you excuse my oversight. Then what do you think I should do?

A:哦，请原谅我们的疏忽。那您看来，我们该怎么办？

B:I think it's better for you to change the brand name.

B:我认为你方最好改变名称。

A:But in that case, the customers won't recognize our products.

A:但是那样的话，消费者就认不出我们的产品了。

B:Yes, it's a tough problem.

B:是啊，这个问题很难办。

A:I'll hold a meeting to discuss this problem and find out a solution soon.

A:我立即召开会议，尽快找出解决办法。
