节选

Robert

Hello, Nora? My name is Robert, and I’m putting together a presentation on how local businesses absorb seasonal swings in demand. I hope I’m not catching you at a bad time.

Nora

Not at all, Robert. You’ve reached Nora at Green Stem Florists. What exactly are you hoping to find out?

Robert

Ideally, I’d like to compare Valentine’s Day orders with an ordinary February week. I realize exact figures can be sensitive, so would you be willing to share approximate ones?

Nora

Ranges, yes; exact revenue, no. In a typical Valentine’s week, we take in roughly three times as many orders as we do in an ordinary February week.

Robert

That’s a useful baseline. Has the ratio held steady, or has it shifted of late?
