如果不想要奶粉成本上涨，我们就不能添加任何东西。只能直接拿现在的产品销售，并且加印警告标示。如果有人用了不洁的水冲泡，他们必须自行负责，错不在我们。

就我看来，首先，在那里大部分的人都不识字，警告标示对他们根本没有用。第二，就算他们的政府说有警告标示就足够了，但是其他团体若不这么认为，就会引起舆论的注意，许多人将会对我们非常非常的不满，各地方的销路都会走下坡。(停顿一下加强反应)

说得没错。如果我们坐视这种情形发生，的确不能心安理得？难道只是为了赚较多的钱？！
A：It wouldn t be just because of the money.Those people aren t healthy，and our powder is better than mother s milk.Some people might get sick，but isn t it more important that we help so many others？

下一个未定案事项是有关屋顶维修的问题。如果我没记错，葛儿要为我们查证一下3家尚在评估阶段的屋顶维修公司的可靠度。因此现在我要跳过一般程序，先从“成员报告”开始，听听葛儿有什么发现。你准备好了吗？
