All over the year, over a year ago we decided our television business needed a new business model and by teaming up with TPV of Taiwan, we've moved the television business to a joint venture which gives the TV business a new initial life, that allows Phillips to focus on what we are really good at, and that is as a technology company to innovate, to make the world healthier and more sustainable, we do that as for areas, health care, energy efficient, lighting and consumer health wellbeing, we think that this is really important for the world, there will be a lot of demand for these programs, and at the same time, we are improving our operation excellence through our accelerated program, and in the third quarter result, that's what you see coming through, an increasing top line and an improving bottom line, thanks to Phillips' accelerating.
一年前，我们认为公司的电视业务需要一种新的业务模式，一年来，我们与台湾TPV公司合作。现在我们将电视生产业务发展成为一个联合投资公司，给予其新的生命力；同时，公司集中力量于真正擅长的领域即作为一家能够不断进行创新的技术公司，为全世界更健康、持续发展贡献自己的力量。我们的领域包括医疗、高效能源、照明及顾客的健康和福利事业。我们认为这些领域对全世界来说都是至关重要的，对这些项目也将会有大量需求。与此同时，通过加速开发这些项目，我们持续提高公司卓越的运营能力。由于飞利浦公司的加速发展，可以看到第三财季业绩的顶线有所增长，账本底线有所改善。
Well, while asked about the future, the Phillips chief was a bit more cautious.
当我们问到公司未来的前景时，飞利浦的首席执行官还保有一些谨慎。
We talked about economic headwinds of Phillips, and we see 3 parts of the world slowing down, China with a lower GDP, Europe of course in a recessional period, and the United States where especially in the second half of this year, we see more uncertainty creeping, undoubtedly related to related to the elections and the threat of the fiscal cliff and the uncertainty around the responsible care act (Obama Care), we see some orders being pushed out in the United States even though the third quarter will still very good in growth. The feasibility looking ahead is much lower.
我们谈论了飞利浦发展的不利因素，全世界有三大市场的经济发展都在放慢速度，中国的GDP也较往年更低，欧洲正处于经济衰退期，而美国特别是在下半年，潜伏着更多不确定因素，确切地说，是和选举有关的因素、财政悬崖的威胁以及责任医保法案的不确定因素（奥巴马法案）。尽管第三季度保持良好的增长势头，来自美国的定单却在减少。展望未来，不容太过乐观。
