Eric：我建议，“Perry”这两个字用彩虹的七色，比如紫色，蓝色，红色，绿色和橙色，然后“出版社”三个字可以使用黑色小文本体放在下面。 Cheryl：That could work.我看行。 Part Four: Business Words: 1.mitigate v减轻，缓和； Many experts stress the importance of writing a clear and solid business plan as a way to mitigate the risk of starting your own business. 许多专家都强调撰写一份清楚并且可信的商业计划书来降低创业风险的重要性； 2.moderate v 缓和；adj 温和的； A moderate increase in both investment and consumption will play an active role in stimulating the market. 适度地增加投资和提高消费水平对刺激市场将起到积极作用； 3.morale n 士气，斗志； Every successful business seeks, acquires, and strives to maintain a high level of morale throughout their organization. 每个成功的企业都在寻找，追求，努力维持组织中高昂的士气。 4.norming n 规范化，规范期； The social norming means much to most people.
