第一篇:亚洲春节英文版
When it comes to the Lunar New Year,the first word occurred to us may be “China”.As about 1.3billion of people celebrating the spring festival,the Chinese LNY become one of the most remarkable festival in the world as well as Christmas in Western countries.But,it should be stressed that the Chinese LNY could not be equal to the LNY.That means,China is not the only country that celebrates this festival.In brief,it is a festival of Asia.According to incomplete statistics,there are 13 Asian countries which set LNY as their public holiday:China,North Korea,Korea,Vietnam,Mongolia,Singapore,Malaysia,Indonesia,Thailand,Burma,Philippines,Brunei and Bhutan.Different countries have their different customs and activities to celebrate the LNY.Take some countries for example below:
Korea:More attention on the New Year’s Eve
In the last few days of the twelfth lunar month,the Korean go back home to reunite with their family,no matter how far they are form home.On the New Year’s Eve,all the restaurants are closed for the entire day.People prepare family reunion dinner by themselves at home.In the evening,all the family members stay up all night to wait for the first sunrise of the new year.It is said superstitiously that one’s eyebrows would become white if he or she broken the role of staying up all night.Vietnam:Eat,drink and be merry in the Golden Week
New Year’s Day in Vietnam is called “Tet Nguyen Dan”.4 days break will given to people ,and sometimes this holiday will meet a weekend.Thus,the 6 days holiday is usually called “the Golden Week”,just like the National Day’s Holiday of China.The LNY starts from December 23 in lunar month,the day of God of the Hearth,and last out the frist month of the lunar new year.The Vietnamese often say that it’s a month of eating and drinking.In the NYE,the Vietnamese set a length of bamboo(with no leaves)in their house.At the top of it hangs a wind-bell and a piece of red colored banner.People think the sound of wind-bell can keep away the evil spirits.They also eat rice dumplings the shape of which look like knolls or cubes to symbolize the heaven and the earth.Japan:Exception?Not really
Japan is not the one of the 13 countries.The Japanese celebrate the New Year’s Day on January 1.However,before 1873,it was observed according to the Chinese lunar calendar.Even though the date of the celebration has changed,the occasion is celebrated with proper Japanese new year traditions.Just as a custom in China,the Japanese give money to kids,too.Lucky money in Japan is called “Otoshidama”.The amount of the money given to kids depends on the age of them.On the New Year’s Day,the Japanese hang a straw rope in front of the entrance of their home to keep away the evil spirits.Green plants and bamboo are used to decorate the house,which signify new life and the honesty to God.At night,people go to the temple to worship,and ring the temple’s bells 108 times to keep away all the evil forces.Each countries has its own customs and activities to observe the LNY,but the original intentions are the same:to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new,to have a family reunion and to pray for a good future.The differences in customs enrich the connotative meaning of this great festival and make it a colorful cultural phenomenon of Asia as well ae the whole world.
第二篇:牙膏产品亚洲市场营销计划书(英文)
1.Introduction

• Situation
From the perspective of the market development, oral hygiene products in Asia market has entered into the mature period.The degree of market segmentation is high, brand loyalty plays a main role, and price competition is very fierce.As for the market supply field, the size of the Asian market is relatively stable and the market growth rate is low.Seeing from the market demand angle, personalized needs get intense day by day.The pursuit of new feeling, health, whitening, natural, full effect are still the mainstream of toothpaste products.In terms of the brand structure, market concentration is very high, several multi-national toothpaste brands occupy the mostmarkets all around the world.Looking from the product structure, market segmentation becomes more obvious, many new products exist, and the products withspecial feeling and diverse functions are widely accepted by the market.As for theregion and price structure, toothpaste products in urban markets tend to achieve further vocational development while in rural markets, the sales of low price products rise rapidly.(Berger, 2011)Last but not least, in terms of the market share of some major brands.The main brand group in Asian toothpaste market roughly includeBritesmile Bancav, Clean & White Caregate, Dentacare and Eversmile.(Feick et al, 2003)
2.Goals for Asia
• What to achieve and why(be specific, give some metrics)
The main market terminals in Asia will be China, Japan, India, South Korea, the Philippines and Thailand.Total Sales of the current year: $0.6 billion;
Gross profit: $0.2 billion;
Gross margin: 30%;
Net profit: $0.18 billion
Market share:15%
The marketing goal is decided as the toothpaste products develops rapidly and the Asian market potential is tremendous.From statistics of the manufacturer toothpaste sales by Country Market in the last six years, all of the six Asian countries mentioned above increased year by year.For instance, the sales in India five years ago was $398 million, while in the current year, the number is as large as $ 694 million.In China, the sales has raised from $1409 million to $2094 million within six years.As a result, the toothpaste market in Asia still has great space for development.Currently Asia's per capita toothpaste consumption has not reached the international average level, so the potential market is huge.The potential source is not just the conservative 4 billion population till 2050, but also the the growing rate of brushing teeth among Asian people and their growing oral health awareness.(Feick et al, 2003)
• Risks involved and likelihood of accomplishing goals
While the marketing goal of Allsmile toothpastes being executed by the marketing staff, several other toothpaste with large share may take relevant measures.If several brands take the measures of the promotions, discounts or price-cutting competition, it is likely to cause everybody have no profit or even loss.However in general, this kind of phenomenon is unlikely to appear.In addition, when improving sales channels, at the same time, Allsmile may lose the share of several original marketing channels, thus will result in a pyrrhic victory.Last but not least, there are some risks in personal selling and business promotion aw well.Without large capital investment, these measure may not reach the designated effects.(Kotabe&Helsen, 2010)

第三篇:春节英文介绍
春节英文介绍:
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China.People usually decorate the doors and windows with red papercuts.becouse red means good luck.People usually clean house too.becouse they want to sweep away bad luck.Children can get some new clothes or presents from their parents and grandparents.On New Year's Eve,family always have a big dinner.Everybody are watch TV and talk.In the midnight,there usually fairworks.On New Year's Day,people usually put on their new clothes and visit their femily and friends.They usually say:“Happy New Year's Day.” The Spring Festival finishes at the Lantern Festival after two weeks.People usually eat a kind of rice dumpling called yuanxiao.It can take people good luck all the year round.The Origin of Chinese New Year 中国春节的来历
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring(the first of the twenty-four terms in coodination with the changes of Nature).Its origin is too old to be traced.Several explanations are hanging around.All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means “year”, was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite.People were very scared.One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian.To Nian he said, “I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?” So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harrassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian.He turned out to be an immortal god.Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life.Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation.The term “Guo Nian”, which may mean “Survive the Nian” becomes today “Celebrate the(New)Year” as the word “guo” in Chinese having both the meaning of “pass-over” and “observe”.The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around.However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration.
