Mergers (2)

 

合并(2

 

 

A: Did you hear the news? Two of our major suppliers, Leodon Corporation and Roys Enterprise are merging! If they are conglomerated into one company, it would have some serious affects on our market strategy.

 

A你听说了吗?我们的两大供应商利奥登公司和罗伊斯公司要合并了!如果他们合并成一个公司,会严重影响我们的销售策略。

 

 

B: Are you sure? Who told you that? I highly doubt that they would take the step to merge into one company…. They’re supposed to be bitter enemies, the strictest of competitors. It must be a rumor. It can’t be true.

 

B你肯定吗?谁告诉你的?我非常怀疑他们会合并成一个公司……他们应该是死敌,最大的竞争对手。这一定是传闻,不可能是真的。

 

 

A: I read it myself on the financial page. They’re really going to join together. Roys Enterprise was bought out by Leodon; they will take over the company as of next month.

 

A这是我在财经版上亲眼看到的。他们真的要联手了。利奥登公司收购了罗伊斯公司,他们从下个月起就接管这个公司了。

 

 

B: The competition must have been too stiff for Roys Enterprise. Otherwise why would they allow themselves to be taken over by their sworn enemy?

 

B罗伊斯公司一定是承受不了这么激烈的竞争了,否则为什么会让自己不共戴天的仇敌接管呢?

 

 

A: I guess they must have figured it would be easier to merge than to keep up the cutthroat competition. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.

 

A我想他们一定认为合并比在残酷的竞争中生存更容易。如果不能打败他们,就加入他们。
