补充练习: 我们的棉织品质量和款式都属一流。 Our cotton goods are of supreme/top quality and style. This is a very beautiful/nice fabric, and I believe it will be hot this year! 这的确是非常漂亮的布料，我想今年一定会火！ 我们的品牌本身就是产品质量的保证。 Our brand itself is the guarantee of the quality of our products. 这是我们最畅销的产品，三年来订单最多的就是它了。 This is our best-seller, and we have had the largest orders for it during the past three years.
