Helen: This is Real English from
BBC Learning English. I’m Helen.
Zoe: 大家好，我是刘佳。
Helen: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
Zoe: 今天的地道英语，我们一块儿来学习当代英语中出现的流行
词汇和新的表达方法。
Helen: Today’s new expression is ‘market leader’.
Zoe: Market leader. Market..市场和leader..领导人? 这两个词在一起说是什么意思呢?
Helen: Well, it’s quite simple really. Market leader means either the company that sells the most of a particular type of product, or the product itself that sells the most.
Zoe: 慢点儿，慢点儿，我怎么听着有点儿晕啊？
Helen: well, listen carefully. if you had a company selling computers and you sold more computers than any other company, you would be the ‘market leader’.
Zoe: 哦，market leader的意思就是指 某样商品销售额最高的公司。
Helen: that’s right. it can also mean the product.
Zoe: Market leader也可以指一样最叫卖的商品。
Helen: yes. You could say Coca Cola is the market leader.
