■ビジネス英語53　LisaはRonに高級ワイン市場について報告します。
R:　Now, could you share what you discussed with our colleagues in London and your findings there?
L:Sure. Perhaps I should start by touching on our traditional luxury market and then move on to new trends. Would that be OK?　
R: Yeah that's fine.
L: To summarize, the luxury wine market has remained vibrant. As rich people got richer during the pandemic, they spent more money on wines for drinking at home. Investment in en primeur is rising too.
R: OK. What are the implications for the market going forward? Life is returning back to normal and inflation is creeping up.
L:　They think the market remains relatively strong.
First, people have started dining out and drinking more wine. Second, wealthy people are less affected by inflation. Third, wine is a good investment alternative in an inflationary period.
R:Hmm, I see. It all sounds very optimistic.

〇現地の市況については根拠を示して述べる
①California is the state that accounts for the majority of EV sales in the US, and Silicon Valley is the capital of venture investment in the automotive sector. Believe it or not, people above a certain level of income are said to prefer American electric cars to luxury German gasoline cars.

②I visited a couple of hospitals in Bangkok that are popular destinations for "medical tourism." The internationally accredited hospitals（国際的に認定された病院）have a system in place to provide medical technology, nursing care, and range of multilingual services to accommodate foreign patients. I think Thailand is one of the leading nations in this industry, and there's much for Japan to learn.
