"两家公司联合起来创造出更好的产品。" (liang jia gongsi lianhe qilai chuangzao chu geng hao de chanpin)
to do something without enthusiasm
to plan carefully before taking action
information spreads quickly
to be extremely surprised or frightened
to dismiss or refuse something with a gesture or comment
to get all the attention, often taking it away from someone...
