我想這個問題呢，我們作為，嗯，做生意的一方的話，我們完全有義務應該提醒對方，應該有盡這個社會責任的這個義務。我們想，我們這樣，我們通常做的這個事情是設計項目。我們會儘量地告訴對方，你應該多多地去考慮，嗯，保護環境，而不是破壞環境。我們有這個義務去這樣子做，所以我們不管是，由於這樣做有可能導致這個生意的失敗。但是我們還是會堅持告訴對方清楚地這樣去做。當然，這個業主，他們有最終的決定的權利。嗯，如果是他們最後的決定還是不採納我們的意見的話，我們有可能因此這個生意做不成。但也有可能我們還是會繼續做生意。但是我們，把我們該做的這個部分，我們已經清楚地傳達告訴了對方。

English

For this question, I think… as a part of our doing business, from our side at least, we are completely obligated to remind the other side (the owner/proprietor) that they should do their best in fulfilling their obligation to be socially responsible. This is how we think of it. The things we typically deal with are design projects. We do everything we can to tell the other side that, you should consider this very carefully…you should protect the environment and not harm it. We have an obligation to do it this way. So, we are not concerned with the possibility that doing things this way may result in the failure of the business. We still support the (idea of) telling the other party, in no uncertain terms, the way things ought to be done. Of course, the owner has the right to make the final decision. If, for example, they decide in the end not to accept our advice, there is the possibility that we won’t be able to do business together as a result. But it’s also possible that we will. But as for doing what we feel should be done…we’ve already done our part and conveyed it very clearly to the other party.
