漢語譯文：

a: 你能告訴我們一些有關(guān)貴國投資環(huán)境的信息嗎?

b: 我國是一個自由貿(mào)易的國家。它曾是相當落后的農(nóng)業(yè)國，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)發(fā)展成了一個現(xiàn)代，經(jīng)濟增長快的工業(yè)化國家。與此同時，她依靠的外貿(mào)已經(jīng)增加了。增加的產(chǎn)量引起了對毛產(chǎn)品、半成品和資本貨物較大的需求。在很多領(lǐng)域，對其他國家的出口商來說，我國是一個重要的，正在逐步壯大的市場。但這并不意味著我國是一個可以容易進入的市場。因為許可出口的政策和高標準是敏銳的。

a: 嗯，價格怎樣?

b: 對出口商而言，在工業(yè)化國家投資他們的產(chǎn)品，價格因素好像是一個有用的工具。當然，國外市場產(chǎn)品，不僅是價格問題，也是其他諸如設(shè)計、產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量、支付條件、運輸、保險等重要的因素。
