54 mins confidence: 
peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1prop up Explanation: Hi:) テコ入れする literally means "to prop up, shore up, lever". So I would suggest the following translation of the whole sentence: "By propping up its Asian business(or this business in Asia), the company will hugely increase its business performance/results and report in 2007 its all-time high revenue for a seventh consecutive year/term." |

1 day 11 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1leverage Explanation: I think Yumikos answer prop up was close, but leverage sounds a bit more natural. Something like: By leveraging its businesses in Asia, the company will be able to significantly improve its performance and post record revenue for the seventh consecutive year. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day11 hrs (2008-11-28 08:19:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- oops I meant Kendriya not Yumiko. めんご めんご |
