【正确答案】很荣幸今天能够在这个杰出的论坛上与大家交流。首先,我想借此机会对在座的每一位表示感谢,感谢你们今天在百忙之中抽出时间来到这里。
21年后的今天,我们已经在多伦多占据了十分重要的地位,在这座城市里我们拥有近4000名员工。虽然我们的总部在蒙特利尔,然而我们面向全球的业务却都是在多伦多处理的。
如果我们在多伦多占据一个重要的位置,那是因为多伦多是一个巨大的市场。事实上,加拿大IT业70%的新兴投资都在多伦多。我们确信这只是一个开始,我们还远未深入到这个市场中。
今天在座的还有来自多伦多办公室的同事们。我很高兴向他们表示感谢。他们每一个人都极具奉献精神,尽职地与各个行业的客户们打交道,包括金融服务业、电信设备、政府机关和医疗保健业、零售业、销售业以及制造业。
【答案解析】[听力原文]
It is an honor for me to speak to you today in this distinguished forum. First, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for taking the time from your busy schedules to join me here today.
Today, 21 years later, we have a very strong presence in Toronto, with close to 4,000 people in the city. While our head office is in Montreal, our worldwide operations are managed from Toronto.
If we have a strong presence here, it is because Toronto is a huge market. As a matter of fact, 70 % of new investments in Canada in IT are done here in Toronto. We're convinced that this is just the beginning. We've just skimmed the surface of this market.
Some of my colleagues from our Toronto office have joined us here today. I am proud to acknowledge them. They are very dedicated and work with our clients in all sectors, financial services, telecom and utilities, government and healthcare, retail, distribution and manufacturing.
