  • Actually, to be more precise, the focus should be on the final output.

  • Fair enough, but let’s also look at the potential downsides.

  • Right... (停頓) So, if we take that path, what’s our next move?

  • Right... (停頓) I see the logic there, but let’s double-check the details.

  • Right... (停頓) That changes things a bit, doesn’t it?
