英文正文
That wraps up the last item on the agenda. Before we close, are there any questions?
Fine. In summary, I think we agree that this quarter's domestic sales figures show a marked trend in microwave sales. Sam, I'd like you to follow up on that, please. Let's see where this is heading. Jane, thank you for the comprehensive PR status report. I understand there are still a few problems to be worked out, but we all trust in your ability. Ladies and gentlemen, the new design is satisfactory. Let's keep Action ahead of the game.
Finally, I appreciate your comments and suggestions about the Canadian sales outlook. This is our first opportunity to promote our products in North America, so we certainly want to cover every detail.
Well, then, that covers everything. I make a motion to close the third quarterly meeting of Action Appliances. Is there a second?

最后，我很感谢各位对加拿大业务前景所发表的意见和建议;这是我们第一次把产品推广到北美洲，所以每一项细节当然都要考虑到。
呃，这就是所有的事情了。我现在提议结束Action家电的第三季会议。有没有人附议?
