B: 的确如此。因此我们必须认清我们的处境，想方设法保持我们的主导地位。

A: I think our problem is that we have a strong product but we haven't achieved the sort of market penetration we should have.

A: 我认为我们的问题是，我们有好的产品，但这并没有给我们带来我们应有的市场份额。

B: That's because our marketing is not so effective as our competitors'. We've relied too heavily on product quality, not enough on promotion.
