Our marketing Class at university was discussing an elevator company that sold its products worldwide.
我们大学行销课里正在讨论一家全球行销的电梯公司。

The professor had listed on the blackboard some forces influencing the company’s operations, including political climate, currency restrictions and import quotas.
教授将影响公司营运的一些力量列在黑板上,包括政治气侯、货币限制与进口配额。

When he asked if anyone could name other forces that would have an impact on an international elevator company, a voice from the back called out, “Gravity.”
当他询问是否有人可以指出,其他可对国际电梯公司造成冲击的力量。有个声音从后面叫了出来:“重力”!
