This is our sample room. A: You've had a wide selection of sample foodstuffs here.B: Yeah. We need to export a wide range of food to many countries and many foreigners like different kinds of food, so we have to develop as many varieties as possible this time.A: I'm very interested in pastries. Do you have any samples to show me?B: Yes. This way please. Our pastries are in a variety of flavors, such as chocolate, sesame, strawberry, green bean, red bean. The packaging of different flavors is different. We design distinctive packaging based on the food itself. Because we believe that the sales of food depends on both the taste and the packaging.A: Smaller packages sell better than big ones for us. Will you change the size according to our requirements?B: Yes. But we would advise you not to change the size of some products, because we know from market research that not all small sizes are sold well.A: Okay. We need to negotiate the details some other time.B: No problem. Anytime when you're free.A: I wonder if your pastries taste better.B: Of course. Welcome to try. Translation:我想先看看你们的样品间。好的，请跟我来。这里就是我们的样品间了。你们这里展出的食品样品很是丰富啊。是的，我们要向很多国家出口食品。而且很多外国人喜欢的种类不一样，所以我们这次要尽可能多的研发出食品种类。我对糕点很感兴趣，你们有样品展示给我看吗？是的有，请来这边。我们有很多口味的糕点，比如巧克力味、芝麻味、草莓味、绿豆味以及红豆味等。不同口味的包装也是不一样的。我们会依据食品本身设计出有特色的包装，因为我们认为一款食品的销量记取决于口感，也取决于其包装。对我们来说，小包装会比大包装销量更好，你们会根据我们的要求修改尺寸吗？可以的，不过有些产品我们会建议您不要更改尺寸，因为我们通过市场调研得知，并不是所有的小尺寸的食品都卖得很好。好的，我们需要另外找时间商量具体的细节。没问题，您什么时候有空都可以。我想知道你们的食品是不是比市场上的更好吃。当然了，欢迎品尝。
