But what should we say?Anna, your proposal needs to be brief but clear.Use positive language to propose your idea to Paul.
但我们应该怎么写？安娜，你的提议应该言简意赅。用正面语言把你的想法提给保罗。
Use words like 'exceptional', 'fantastic', 'quality', and talk about how it would benefit the business by using words like 'profit', 'efficiency', and 'value for money'.
比如使用这些词“杰出的”，“极好的”，“质量”，并用“利益”，“效率”和“等值”谈谈它会给公司带来的好处。
