1-- I Don't know how they do it! Our competitors have undercut us by 10% percent on the price of our latest model. There is no way will be able to
compete against that. We're barely breaking even with the present prices.
2-- These price wars are disastrous for our bottom line. If they're charging 10% less than we are, we've got to find a way to lower our
price while keeping our profit.
1-- Profits are alomst nonexistent now, we can't beat their price. How do they keep their price so low?
2-- We can try to lower our cost of production then. We need a price that we can compete with, something comparable with the competition.
1-- You really think we can make it? I don't have much faith in our ability to lower the price again. We're no match for them, the competition will beat
us hands down.

1--我真不知道他们是怎么搞的!我们的竞争对手的价格比我们最新一款的产品价格低10%.那样我们根本不可能与他们竞争.就目前的价位我们刚刚能维持不赢不亏.
2--这些价格战对我们底线的影响是灾难性的.如果他们比我们的要价低10%,那我们只能在维持利润的同事找到一种降低价格的办法.
1--现在利润几乎是谈不上了...我们不能杀他们的价.他们怎么能把价格定的那么低?
2--那我们可以试着降低生产成本.我们需要一个有竞争力的价格,能够和对手相比的价格.
1--你真的认为我们能成功吗? 我对我们再次降价的能力没有多少信心.我们绝不是他们的对手,他们不费吹灰之力就能打败我们.
