　短语解说

the market is on the upgrade 市场看涨

"upgrade"，‘上扬、提升’;"up"在此有‘向上’的意思。市场看涨表示经济复苏，市价逐渐向上扬升，而商品交易亦日趋活络。与之相反者为"The market is off (down)."(市场下滑)和"The market is on a downward trend."。

market boom 市场繁荣;市场景气

"boom"‘繁荣;兴盛之意’。"market boom"是指因商品的'需求增加，带动工业的生产，使得市场上的交易活动热烈。与"strong market"类似。

develop a market 开发新市场;拓展市场

这个用语的基本意义是指，为一项全新推出或既有的产品寻求销售对象或通路。若针对全新产品，"develop a market" 是表示为此产品找到消费群，使之能顺利进入市场;若针对旧有产品，则表示为它开展不曾接触的贩卖领域，如增加不同的通路或销往国外。
