各位代表:首先我代表中国市场学会欢迎各位代表出席这次年会。我们这次年会原定在今年上半年召开,之所以推迟,除了非典的原因,还因为工作任务上有了新的安排,有些事情工作量比较大,需要作一些准备,所以推迟到现在召开。出席我们这次年会的有第三届理事会的成员和部分会员代表,另外还有关心、支持我们学会工作的一部分特邀代表。目前临近年末,大家的工作都很忙,但还是挤出时间出席这次年会,这是大家对 Distinguished Delegates: First of all, on behalf of the Chinese Market Institute, I welcome all delegates to attend this annual meeting. We originally planned to hold this annual meeting in the first half of this year. The reason for the delay was that apart from the reasons for SARS, there were some new arrangements for our work tasks and some things were heavy workloads and we needed to make some preparations so we postponed until now . There are members of the third council and some of the member representatives who attend our annual meeting, as well as some specially invited representatives who care about and support our learning. As we approach the end of the year, everyone’s work is very busy, but we still have time to attend this annual meeting
