中國公司想創(chuàng)造世界品牌,外國公司想增加在中國的銷量,這些都正改變著中國的設(shè)計產(chǎn)業(yè)。中國制造商意識到,若他們想在本國市場脫穎而出,在外國市場嶄露頭角,就必須設(shè)計更好的產(chǎn)品。索尼這樣的外國公司也開始明白,從前海外公司常把隨便什么地方設(shè)計的產(chǎn)品拿到中國來賣,而現(xiàn)在,中國消費者變得更加挑剔,他們不再那樣容易滿足了。

若他們想在本國市場脫穎而出,在外國市場嶄露頭角,就必須設(shè)計更好的產(chǎn)品。
分析:
這里的“脫穎而出”和“嶄露頭角意思相近”,我們盡量選擇不同的譯法,兩個詞語可以分別譯為“stand out”和“distinguish themselves”。
