Thomas: They’re part of my new product line to be sold under my own label.
托马斯:这是要出售的生产线的一部分,用的是我自己的商标。
Celeste: Really?
塞莱斯特:真的吗?
Thomas: Yeah, I’m jumping in with both feet. Everybody advised me to get my feet wet by licensing a collection, but I don’t want to sell under someone else’s brand.
托马斯:是的,我毫不犹豫的做了。大家都建议我先从授权做起,试试水,但是我不想用别人的牌子,卖别人的产品。
Celeste: I thought you started all this by doing custom work.
塞莱斯特:我以为你是从做定做开始的。
Thomas: I did, but I’m ready to produce an entire line I’ve designed according to my vision, not work to a client’s specs.
托马斯:是的,但是我已经准备好做一整条生产线了,按照我自己的标准设计的,而不是顾客的标准。
Celeste: I can understand that. Will you be selling to trade or retail customers?
塞莱斯特:我能明白,你要批发还是零售?
Thomas: Retail. I plan to have showrooms in every major city. See? This is a sample of our product catalog.

Celeste: I see. Your products look high-end, but they’re intended for the mass market.
塞莱斯特:我明白。你的产品看起来挺高端的,可是你却把它们投向大众市场。
Thomas: That’s right. Do you want to take home a sample?
托马斯:是的,没错。你要带个样品回去吗?
Celeste: Um, I guess so. I’d never considered using anything like that.
塞莱斯特:恩,好。我从没想过可以用到这么高档的东西。
Thomas: Once you sit on a designer toilet seat, you’ll never go back!
托马斯:一旦你用过之后,你就迷上它了。
