I'd like to talk about...So that brings me to the end of my presentation. Thanks for listening.Are there any questions?Module 2.1 Company benefitsBenefits and incentivesV ocabulary1) Ask students to work alone as they rank the ten items and then compare and discuss in pairs. Make sure they give reasons.ExtensionIn Part Two of the Speaking Test, students might need to give a one-minute presentation entitled, "What is important when choosing a job?". Put students in pairs and tell them to practise a similar presentation, taking turns to be the examiner or the candidate. Students can use some of the ideas listed in exercise 1.2) 2.1 Students listen out for five of the benefits and incentives in exercise 1. Note that this is a similar task to Part Two of the Listening Test.Answers1 a company car2 flexible working hours3 parental leave4 an impressive job title5 a pension2.1 Listening scriptSpeaker 1 It's great because usually it means my wife can use the one at home and we even take mine away at weekends. I work for quite a relaxed company and they don't seem to mind how I use it for leisure.Speaker 2I thought it wouldn't change the way I worked after the first six months, but as they got older it actually became more complicated with getting them to school or if they wanted to do activities in the afternoon. But my boss has been really good about it and some days I can do a half day if I want and then I might work later on other days - or I take work home, which I don't like doing, but it's the only way... Speaker 3 It's actually the law now so they had to let me have it. It was only two weeks but at least I had time to help my wife out. Mind you, after all the late nights and crying I was really happy to get back to work for a while and have a rest!Speaker 4I've just been promoted from Assistant IT Technician to Chief Operational Network Administrator. It means I get a bit of a pay rise and new business cards with my name on. I'm not sure if I get my own office though.Speaker 5The problem for me is that I won't have enough to live on when I'm 60 and I can't afford a private plan. So I'll probably try and keep working for a few more years, and anyway, I heard the government is planning to raise the age of retirement...Is working for Xerox too good to be true?Reading3) Set students a time limit of about three minutes to answer the question. The aim is to find any benefits andincentives, but tell students not to read in too much detail at this stage.Answersopportunities for promotion, training and staff development, a pension*Note that the article also mentions a "reward and recognition scheme" which is another form of incentive.4) Now students read the article in much more detail to answer questions 1-5. Refer them to the Exam Success tip on reading the complete text before answering any questions.Answers1 B2 A3 C4 B5 CExpressions with takeV ocabulary5 As a quick lead-in, ask students to brainstorm collocations and expressions they can think of with take, eg take a day off, take a taxi, take a break, take off, etc.Answers1 take (Moloney's comments) with a pinch of salt2 take care of3 Take (Carole Palmer)4 took part in5 takes on6 takes seriouslyExtensionAsk students to write six new sentences using take from the exercise. They can relate the sentences to their own work or life, eg I'd take the news of a pay rise with a pinch of salt. (not so sure, doubtfully)Module 2.1 Company benefitsAsking questions about jobsSpeaking1) Tell students to imagine they were the journalist writing the article on Xerox on the previous page. They need to create the questions they asked during the interviews with Kim Moloney and Carole Palmer. The article offers clues as to the tense needed for each question. This exercise should be a review for students at this level and provides some basic questions for asking about a job.Answers1 How long have you been working for the company?2 When did you join (the company)?3 What was your first job?4 What are you responsible for?5 Where are you based?6 What would you like to do in the future?2) Students practice asking and answering the questions. If possible, try to pair students who haven't yet met in the class. Make sure the answers use the correct tense and give feedback.The PastGrammar3) Students match the three verb forms to the correct tense definitions.AnswersPast simple: startedPresent perfect: has movedPresent perfect continuous: has been workingRefer students to the Grammar reference on page 128. Suggest they also re-read the information on the present perfect and present perfect continuous in Module 1. Remind students that we tend not to use continuous forms with stative verbs. Also point out that verbs like work and live can often be used in the present perfect and present perfect continuous form with little change in meaning. The main change in emphasis is that the continuous form emphasises that the action is ongoing. You could also draw these timelines on the board to help clarify the meaning:Past simplePast NowX ↑Present perfectPastNowPresent perfect continuousPast Now4) Students underline the correct verb form. When checking answers, ask students to try and explain their choice.Answers1 began2 trademarked3 became4 has been5 has been working6 has been7 took partPhotocopiable activity 2.1See page 162.5) Students complete the letter of application with the verbs in different tenses.Answers1 have been working2 joined3 have had4 have been considering5 has expanded / has been expanding (we are unsure if the expansion has ended)6 completed7 have been studying8 has agreedA letter of applicationWriting6) Begin by asking students if they have ever applied for a job. Elicit the process, eg Where did you find out about the job? Did you have to write a letter or fill in a form? This task resembles the format for Part Two of the Writing Test with students being given a text and then some handwritten notes. Ask students to underline key information. Make sure they realise that they must include the handwritten notes and stay within the word limit. If you are short of time this could be set as homework. If it is done in class, students could work in pairs and draft the letter together.Possible answerDear Sir or Madam,I saw your advert for the post of Personal Assistant to Overseas Sales Manager in yesterday's newspaper and I would like to apply for the position.As you can see from my attached CV, I have been working for a travel agency for the last six months, which I have really enjoyed. Before that I worked as a receptionist and secretary for two years.I have a good knowledge of English as I completed a course at college and I am also fluent in Italian having lived in Rome for the summer in 2006. Please note that my current manager has agreed to write me a reference. I look forward to hearing from you.Yours faithfully(students' name)Module 2.2 Presenting your companyCompany termsVocabulary1) This activity checks that students know some key vocabulary before starting. The definitions are in the information files on pages 126 and 131, or students can check in their dictionaries.During the task, make sure students know how to pronounce all the words. It may be helpful to drill the word stress in these words:distribution, warehouse, headquarters, subsidiary, corporation, division.PresentationsListening2) 2.2 For this first listening, students only need to listen out for the words in exercise 1.Answersheadquarters corporation divisions2.2 Listening scriptExtract 1 Good morning and thanks for coming. Today I'd like to tell you about the world's largest document management company. With a turnover of nearly sixteen billion dollars the Xerox Corporation develops and markets innovative technologies with products and solutions that customers depend upon to get the best results for their business. In my brief presentation we'll begin by looking at some of the key figures behind the company's success and how the company is structured. Then I'll give an overview of Xerox around the world and finally I'd like to talk about some of the trends affecting out market and its future growth. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them at the end. So, here you can see, the turnover for last year was nearly sixteen billion dollars, with a final income of 978 million dollars. We operated from our headquarters in Rochester New York State in 160 countries with 55,000 employees, with over half of those in the USA. This next chart shows you how the corporation is splitinto four divisions. First of all there's Xerox Global Services...Extract 2And finally there's Xerox Innovation with five centres in the United States, Canada and Europe. Note that six percent of revenue was dedicated to research and development last year as the key part of our mission statement is, and I quote, "to help people find better ways to do great work." OK, let's move on to look at Xerox around the world in a little more detail. Take a look at this chart, which shows revenue by region. So about half our revenue is from the US market. Then Europe with over five billion dollars and the rest of the world with over two. One thing I'd like to point out is...Extract 3 Finally, how is the market for the document industry looking? Well it would be unrecognisable to the people who founded the orginal company in 1906 and even compared to the second half of the twentieth century. More and more offices are moving from black and white printing to color, and from paper documents to electronic documents. These are clearly the future opportunities and areas of growth in what is a total market worth an estimated 112 billion dollars...So that brings me to the end of my presentation. Thanks for listening. I hope it's been of interest. Are there any questions?3) Students can work in pairs and try to say the numbers. In order to check their answers, you could play the recording again so students can listen for pronunciation.Answerssixteen billionnine hundred and seventy-eight millionone hundred and sixtyfifty-five thousandhalffoursixfive billiontwo billionnineteen oh sixone hundred and twelve billion4) 2.2 Students listen again and write notes. Answers16,000,000,000 turnover978,000,000,000 final income160 countries55,000 employeeshalf of 55,000 in the USA4 divisions6% of revenue dedicated to research and development 5,000,000,000 dollars revenue in Europe (over) 2,000,000,000 dollars rest of world revenue 1906 company founded 112,000,000,000 total marketPhotocopiabel activity 2.2See page 163.5) 2.2 Give students time to study the flowchart and read the expressions. Then, play the recording at least once for students to match the expressions. Afterwards, students could check their answers by reading the listening script.Answers1 A2 F3 F4 D5 A6 C7 B8 B9 B 10 D11 D 12 A 13 B 14 C 15 FPronunciation6) 2.3 Students might find the idea that we pause so often in a presentation quite strange, but it is a standard technique with experienced presenters, especially when talking to larger audiences. Play the recording and students mark the pauses. With more confident groups, let them try to predict where the pauses will go before listening. It might help to point out that we tend to pause whenever there is a full stop or comma, after signal phrases (Today/Firstly/Next), to separate key information (eg the name of a company), or to emphasise information (as in the presentation about Xerox - the world's / largest / document / management / company). Students can check their answers in the listening script on page 135 where the pauses are indicated already.2.3/2.4 Listening scriptPresenter Good morning/ and thanks for coming. / Today/ I'd like to tell you about/ the world's/ largest/ document / management/ company./ With a turnover ofnearly sixteen billion dollars/ the Xerox Corporation develops/ and markets/ innovative technologies/ with products and solutions/ that customers depend upon to get the best results/ for their business./ In my brief presentation/ we'll begin by looking at/ some of the key figures/ behind the company's success/ and how the company is structured./ Then/ I'll give an overview of Xerox around the world/ and finally/ I'd like to talk about some of the trends/ affecting our market/ and its future growth./ If you have any questions,/ I'll be happy to answer them at the end.7) 2.4 This is designed as a drill and helps to focus students on intonation and stress, as well as pausing. It's a useful strategy that they can learn to apply to their own presentations. Drill it as a class, or students could also practice on their own at home.Giving a presentationSpeaking1) Ask students what kind of company they would like to run if they had the chance. Tell them this is their "dream" company and they are going to create it. Working alone, they make up facts and figures to fill in the first column of the table. The aim of the task is to give controlled practice of the expressions for presenting. Their ideas can be as far-fetched as they like.2) Refer students back to the expressions in exercise 5 on page 21. Students work in pairs and give their presentations. They may find it helpful to repeat their presentations at least twice so they could also change partners. The person listening takes notes and could also offer feedback and suggestions on possible improvements.ExtensionAfter students have give their presentations to partners, you could ask them to do the same again to the class. Also, students could follow the advice in the Learning Tip and record their presentation or transcribe it, marking pauses as they did in exercise 6 on page 21.3) Students prepare a full-length presentation about a company for their next lesson. This could be their own company or one they know well. Alternatively, students could research a company using information on its website and use this as the basis for a presentation.A memoWritingAsk students if they receive memos at work. What are they about?Who writes them? With pre-work learners, ask them if they can define what a memo is.4) Refer students to the Exam Success tip before they read the instructions.Answers1 All staff.2 Any staff with a company based pension scheme.3 There have been changes in the government pension laws.4 This will affect the current company based pension scheme.5 A presentation will be given by the Head of Finance on the changes and any effects.5) The next two exercises help students to write effective subject lines. Make sure students realise the importance of a subject line, which is to summarise the key content of the memo and help the reader to identify the purpose easily.Answerpresentation, changes, pension, schemeExtensionBefore students do exercise 6, ask them to apply questions 2-5 from exercise 4 to each of the memos in exercise 6. Note that all the memos are to "All staff".6) Students should begin by underlining any key words. They could compare these with a partner. Then they will need to choose the best three or four words to keep the subject lines brief.Possible answersMemo 1: Display of new factory plansMemo 2: Presentation on flexitime and home-workingMemo 3: Spanish classes7) This is very similar to the writing task in Part Two of the Writing Test. It could be done in class (perhaps with students in pairs) or set for homework.Possible answerTo: All StaffFrom: (name of student)Date: 1st OctoberSubject: Presentation of new insurance policyTo offer staff a better health insurance scheme, we are now working with a new insurance company. Please note therefore that a representative from this company will present the new staff policy on 9th October at 2pm in the conference room. All staff are welcome to attend.Module 2.3 Reading Test: Part fiveExam practice1) Students complete the table with words that are typically focused on in this part of the Reading Test. Answersprepositions articles conjunctions auxiliary pronounsverbsfor the because has whichto a so are whoof and do2) After students work in pairs, ask everyone to feed back to the class so ideas can be shared. It's also a good idea for students to use good dictionaries so they can check the word types beforehand.Possible answersprepositions articles conjunctions auxiliary pronounsverbsin an when have itat no article while does himby that3) Ask students to read the rubric carefully. They should always read the whole text first before trying to answer. You might want them to work in pairs and discuss possibilities. Draw their attention to the fact that many of the words will be those looked at in exercises 1 and 2, although other types of words may still be incorrect (see 10 in this text).Answers1 WILL2 OF3 WHO4 IN5 DO6 CORRECT7 TO 8 AND 9 CORRECT10 TAKE 11 FOR 12 CORRECTWriting Test: Part OneExam PracticeRefer students to the Exam Success tip. Students will be fairly familiar with this type of task now as they were introduced to the format on page 12 of Module 1 (exercise 3) and page 23 of Module 2 (exercise 7). For this reason, you can set exam conditions so students can work alone. Allow 10-15 minutes.Possible answerFrom: (student's name)Subject: Confirmation of seminar detailsDate: XXXTo: Assistant seminar organisersPlease note that I have booked Rooms 101 and 102 for the seminar next week. I'd be grateful if you would now confirm this booking and the final schedule for the event with security. Also note that Mr. Singh will be one hour late on the Monday morning.Exam self-checkRefer students to the advice in the Learning Tip. They should swap their work with a partner. It's helpful if students become used to commenting on and being supportive of each other's work.。

Mac电脑在美国个人电脑市场上的份额达到了9％,而且还在继续增长.苹果在9个国家开设了275家零售店,在美国MP3播放器市场占有73％的份额,自从推出iPhone之后,它又无可争议地确立了它在创新上的领袖地位.迪斯尼在2006年斥资75亿美元收购了乔布斯创立和控制的皮克斯动画制片厂.乔布斯顺理成章地成为迪斯尼董事和大股东. 仅仅计算他所持有的苹果和迪斯尼股票的价值,他的净资产就达到了50亿美元.一些其他企业的高管也有人能够辉煌十年,但是无人能够与乔布斯相比.乔布斯的十年实际上始于1997年,当时的乔布斯在离开了公司12年之后刚刚回归.乔布斯重掌公司大权后的第二年,他就完成了新的领导班子的组建. 那些优秀的人才正是十年以来乔布斯智囊团的核心人物.随后,苹果推出了乔布斯回归之后的首款Mac电脑iMac,那款具有突破性意义的产品预示着苹果将恢复健康.iMac推出之后大获成功,加上乔布斯坚决果断地大幅削减成本,为苹果今后的发展积累了充足的现金. 他改善了苹果的资产负债表,为未来的大投资做好了准备.在一切看起来都还正处于最黑暗的时候,乔布斯就开始为苹果日后的飞跃式发展打基础.苹果在2000年9月份发布的财报未能达到预期目标,股价在随后的几个月里持续下跌,一直跌到相当于如今的7美元的水平上. 然而乔布斯到现在仍然记得苹果东山再起的关键因素.2001年,当全球市场下滑,全球都陷入衰退的时候,苹果在那一年的1月份发布了iTunes,在3月份发布了Mac OS X操作系统,在5月份开设了首家苹果零售店,在11月份推出了首款iPod.市场当时并未迅速发现那些事件的重要性.iTunes当时还只是内建在Mac电脑中的音乐播放软件,当时也没有销售音乐的网络商店. 但是新的操作系统带来了一款极具吸引力、强大而且精美的产品,那就是iPod.当苹果的股价一蹶不振的时候,市场不时会传出苹果即将被收购的传闻.鲜为人知的是,乔布斯当时确实慎重考虑过在收购集团银湖的帮助下将苹果私有化的方案. 收购苹果可能会成为整个世纪最大的交易,但是据知情人士称,乔布斯最终放弃了那个想法.那其实是苹果第二次面临可能被收购的命运.早在1997年的时候,乔布斯的好友埃利森就曾联合了一些财团,准备收购苹果.埃利森在最近一次接受采访时说,乔布斯不喜欢事后被人批评,搞得好象他纯粹是为了赚钱才重新出山的一样.他向我解释说,他认为他可以更轻松和更体面地作出决定.对那些在乔布斯重返苹果后开始关注苹果的人来说,首席执行官的任务就是确定公司今后的发展方向.他在2002年初曾对媒体说过:“我宁愿与索尼竞争,也不愿意在另一个产品领域与微软竞争.我们都是同时拥有硬件、软件和操作系统的完整产品厂商.我们可以为用户完全负责.我们可以做到其他人做不到的事情.”乔布斯相信,只要他可以与公众直接对话,公众会转到苹果这边来的.他所说的公众并不是指Mac电脑的忠实用户,而是普通的消费者.开设自己的零售店的战略在当时还遭到了普遍的嘲笑,许多人认为那样做可能会让苹果的现金外流.前苹果高管、现在担任Intuit董事长和苹果董事的Bill Campbell说:“当时董事会都很紧张,但是他还是那么做了.他知道客户们想要什么.”现在回头来看,当时的苹果零售店能够出售的产品是多么少啊.乔布斯知道,他应该拿出更多的产品.乔布斯将彻底了解苹果当作自己的任务.曾经与苹果断断续续地合作了几年的前Chiat/Day创意总监Ken Segall说:“乔布斯参与了许多非常细致的工作,你是绝对不会认为一家公司的首席执行官应该参与那些细致的工作的.” Segall说,每当苹果将要推出新产品之前,乔布斯都会发起了著名的“换个思路”活动.他甚至将这个活动推广到了广告团队.他说:“乔布斯会说'第四段的第三个单词不恰当,你也许可以考虑用那个单词.'这样的话.”同时兼顾细节管理和大局观是乔布斯的特色标志.在刚刚回到苹果的时候,他便意识到产品的精美设计是苹果区别于当时由戴尔、微软和英特尔等厂商引领的计算机行业的因素之一.产品设计顾问公司Ideo的首席执行官Tim Brown在他的新作《通过设计去改变》中写道:“我根本数不清到底有多少客户会冲进苹果零售店然后说'给我下一款iPod'.那可能跟那些小声地说'给我下一个乔布斯'的设计师的数量很接近.”乔布斯还非常善于把握时机.在苹果推出iTunes之前,音乐界一直都没能开发出自己的数字音乐销售网站.之后苹果便开始为把iTunes变成一个购买音乐的商店作准备.当iTunes还只能在Mac电脑上使用的时候,苹果就巧妙地同各大唱片公司签订了协议.在iTunes兼容Windows系统之前,苹果的地位非常低,这在当时或许是苹果的一项优势. 这也使得iTunes更象是一块试验田,而不是破坏性的转型之举.滚石乐队的Steve Knopper在其新作《自我破坏的欲望》中写道,环球音乐的高管Doug Morris曾经说过:“我不明白苹果怎么可能只用一年的时间就在Mac电脑上毁灭了唱片行业.”Knopper写道:“我们为什么不能尝试一下呢?乔布斯重返苹果的时候,他已经是孤注一掷了.只是他很聪明,知道该怎么做.他做得很辛苦,但是再怎么辛苦也比不上最近几十年以来唱片公司的任何一位律师在艺人合同中进行的谈判那么艰难.”乔布斯抓住了一项重要的工具,那就是他对信息的熟练控制.他仿佛演练他和其他高管将要对外公布的每一句话.苹果只授权极少数高管可以公开就特定话题发表意见.乔布斯会非常认真地推敲他和其他高管能够对外发布的每一句话以及不能对外公布的信息. 哈佛大学教授David Yoffie估计,在2007年宣布推出和开始销售首款iPhone之间的几个月里,苹果未作任何公开声明就已经接到了价值4亿美元的免费广告,因此刺激的媒体都陷入了疯狂.乔布斯本人也非常小心,极其注意不过多透露消息,只有苹果要推销产品的时候,他才会出来说几句.他在2004年接受了癌症手术,但是直到手术完成之后,他才在致员工的电子邮件形式的公开信中发布了那个消息.后来,他同样是通过另一封致员工的公开信解释了他离开公司的情况,而且没有提到他或苹果其他高管的其他消息.在乔布斯的管理下,在没有得到公司媒体关系部同意的情况下,没有人有权公开发表意见.据说媒体关系部是直接向乔布斯汇报的.在撰写本文之前,记者曾想给乔布斯作个专访,但是苹果拒绝了那一要求.对于那起将苹果前首席财务官和法律顾问都牵连进去的股票期权倒填日期丑闻,乔布斯一开始保持沉默态度.在最后提交给证券交易委员会的文件中,苹果承认乔布斯在这件事上是知情的.为此,乔布斯公开发表了道歉,并且声称这个小插曲绝非苹果的本性.乔布斯管理着苹果的财务、消息、交易、设计等等. 但是最近乔布斯的病患也给人们提了个醒,告诉世人乔布斯也是一个人,而不是神.终有一天他也会西去,那时缺少了乔布斯的苹果还能走多远呢?苹果的未来今年9月,乔布斯重新回到了公众的视野里,他对苹果首席运营官提姆库克表示了深切的谢意,因为在他病休期间,暂时代他行使首席执行官权力的库克将公司打理得井井有条.在新款iPod的发布会上,乔布斯首先告知新闻记者、分析师和开发商,他现在拥有的肝脏来自于一位死于车祸的年轻人.随后他对库克和一班高管表达了谢意,因为他们在他不在的期间表现得非常能干. 随后,在库克的带领下,会场全体起立为乔布斯重返岗位而欢呼.由于乔布斯已经回到工作岗位,关于库克或者其他什么人准备接替乔布斯出任首席执行官的争论逐渐平息下去.苹果内部的等级制度是由一位被乔布斯称作“前苹果高管”的人决定下来的. 乔布斯的话还是很有份量的.众所周知,甲骨文首席执行官埃利森非常不喜欢讨论接班人这个话题.他在与朋友交谈过程中谈到乔布斯时说:“他是无可替代的.他创建了一个神话一般的品牌. 他开发出了大量的产品.不管他什么时候退休,我都希望他那个时候是健健康康的,还能开着游艇去逛地中海.但是人们肯定会非常想念他,因为苹果是一家消费品公司. 产品周期太快了.”现在已经有迹象表明,乔布斯已经开始教育他的团队,让他们能够在他暂时离开的时候维持公司的正常运作.一位认识苹果高管团队中的某些高管的知情人士说:“整个公司都已经被彻底被培训过了,完全象乔布斯那样去思考问题. 这就是为什么苹果在乔布斯离开的6个月里能够保持平静的原因.人们会想,如果乔布斯在,他肯定也会这么做.”实际上,乔布斯的影响力已经超出了苹果的范围.拉里佩奇和谢尔盖布林最近在纽约曾说过,乔布斯是他们心目中的英雄. 当Jeff Bezos发布亚马逊的Kindle 2阅读器的时候,他对乔布斯的羡慕是显而易见的.风险资本家、Netscape的联合创始人Marc Andreessen表示,他经常在给其他企业家的建议中以乔布斯作例子. 他说:“发布首款产品时应该考虑的问题是:乔布斯会怎么做?”展望下一个十年,乔布斯也许会这样问自己:在创造了1500亿美元的股东价值,改变了电影、电信、音乐、计算甚至零食和设计等行业之后,他下一步该做些什么呢? 鉴于他喜欢保密和给人意外惊喜的惯例,我们不妨等他自己在合适的时候为我们解答这个问题.。

Unit 2 Ugly Is Only Skin-deep
《商务英语翻译》 （英译汉）
【Translation】
• It may not be much to look at. But beneath that humble exterior beats an air-cooled engine. It won’t boil and ruin your piston rings. It won’t freeze over and ruin your life. It’s in the back of the car for better traction in snow and sand. And it will give you about 29 miles to a gallon of gas. • After a while you get to like so much about the VW②, you even get to like what it looks like. • You find that there’s enough legroom for almost anybody’s legs. Enough headroom for almost anybody’s head. With a hat on it. Snugfitting bucket seats. Doors that close so well you can hardly close them. They’re so airtight, it’s better to open the window a crack first! • Those plain, unglamorous wheels are much suspended independently. So when a bump makes one wheel bounce, the bounce doesn’t make the other wheel bump. It’s things like that you pay $1585 for, when you buy a VW. The ugliness doesn’t add a thing to the cost of the car. • That’s the beauty of it.

然而你必须明白自己将从事何种性质的经营，这是至关重要的。
特许经营就是由一方(授予特许经营者)授权允许另一方(加盟特许经营者)使用其商标或商号，并使用其一揽子经营理念。
那么特许经营背后所隐藏的主要理念是否结合了自己独立开店和为公司打工这两种理念?英国特许经营协会会长丹·阿齐尔回答说：“绝非如此，这是一种可笑的过于简单的看法。
其实这还是由你来经营自己的公司，但是避免了一些风险，同时增加了别人的支持。
”他指出，相比大多数遭受失败的独立经营者，只有0.9％的特许经营店以失败告终。
尽管如此，成为特许经销商不可能使那些极具冒险精神的人感到满足。
它不适合那些不想循规蹈矩的人。
达美乐比萨特许经销店的销售经理威廉姆·尤班克这样说道：“如果你充满开创冒险的精神，这种形式不适合于你。
它是一种原则规约，一个必须遵守规则的俱乐部。
虽说有一定的独立性——我们的特许经销商可以自己制定价格表，但我们对菜单的内容要求非常严格。
这是在帮助下经营公司。
”阿丝特丽德·帕狄尔刚刚成为达美乐比萨店的特许经营者，她告别了律师生涯，和她的丈夫合开一家特许经营店。
“与其把所有的时间和精力倾注到为别人卖命的工作中，不如投入于自己的公司中。
”帕狄尔三十一岁时放弃了薪水可观、受人尊敬的律师职业，转而经营这家比萨店，并获得回报。
公司收益颇丰，业务出现了增长。
当然如果你下定决心，白手起家地单干，你随时可以从总店分离出去，另立门户，发展特许经营店。
阿齐尔说，想要设立特许经营店的新公司数目与日俱增。

商务英语unit2课文译文及练习答案
金融市场概览彼得是一家企业的工业工程师，月收入3000美元。
他把工资分为三部分：一部分用于购买衣、食、住、行等生活必须品；一部分用来投资股票；另一部分用以偿还一笔利率为5%的15年期的150，000美元的抵押贷款，每年偿还10，500美元，其中包括500美元的利息。
我们对货币相当熟悉，因为人们几乎天天接触货币。
人们取得货币收入，用货币购买商品、支付劳务。
现在大部分的货币都是纸制货币或金属货币。
但是过去人们也常常使用商品充当货币，比如贝壳就是中国历史上的第一种实物货币。
如今，随着电子技术在银行的业务经营中的运用，无形货币应运而生，而借贷卡、信用卡和智能卡在类的银行塑料卡也将逐步取代现钞和支票，成为广泛运用的支付工具。
有两种基本的货币活动：货币收支和货币借贷。
货币收支，通常称为货币流通，是指货币的取得和使用。
由于货币在时空上分布的不均衡，货币往往时多时少、此余彼缺。
于是就出现了以信用为基础的货币借贷，即以偿还本金和一定利息为条件的借贷活动。
利息是向他人提供货币所取得的收入而利率则是决定利息高低的关键，它是利息与本金的比率。
货币收支和货币借贷，密切联系，相互渗透，形成了一个新的范畴---金融，即货币的融通。
因此，金融市场就是融资场所。
货币市场是指交易一年期以内短期债务凭证的市场,资本市场指的是交易一年期以上的长期资产和债务凭证的市场。
国际金融市场是本国居民在国内金融市场以外与非本国居民从事金融资产交易活动的场所。
比如，美国居民在美洲银行的储蓄活动属于国内金融交易活动，而瑞士银行吸纳日本企业家的美元存款则属于国际金融交易的范畴。
由于电讯系统和数据处理方面的进步，国际金融市场超越国界，日益趋于一体化。
最引人注目的案例非1997年夏天发生的东南亚金融危机莫属。
让我们回顾一下这一历史事件：7月发生的泰国金融危机迅速蔓延整个东南亚，10月香港、印尼遭袭，11月波及韩国。
该危机由索罗斯量子基金的袭击直接所致。
由于东南亚国家采用与美元挂钩的浮动汇率制，因此一旦兑美元的汇率急剧变化，则几乎所有东南亚市场的股价下跌，损失惨重。

课文翻译参考：
A：首先我想解释一下我们目前的信息系统是怎样运作的，然后概括一下我们正在做的工作。
先让我简单介绍一下我们的硬件配置。
我们的网络中有10个终端机与中央服务器联网，其中5个终端机是决策人员及职员使用的，另外5个用于监督管理。
网络的主要应用是——文字编辑/处理，记账和数据库。
但最近调查显示：4个终端机主要用于文字处理，一个用于输入数据进行记账。
其它5台主要用于管理的终端机，或用于会计，或用于进行客户信息的数据库管理。
但令人吃惊的是，这5台终端机极少使用，有时甚至从不启动。
B：若不介意的话，可以问一下你是怎么得知这些情况的吗？
A：非常简单，操作系统对每台终端机的使用时间及用途存有记录。
B：噢，我不知道是这样，这听起来倒像有人在暗中监视。
A：并非如此，这对网络系统的监测者——也就是/事实上对我来说——非常有用。
因为这可以监测网络的使用状况，并可以在发生问题时找到症结所在。
不管怎样，我想谈一下5台管理终端机的工作情况。
问题是：管理人怎么获得他们需要的信息？非常简单，管理用户终端机的工作人员送上打印好的文件，而不是让他们把所需信息通过网络传送过去。
C：这有什么不好的？
A：的确很多。
首先，这意味着昂贵的信息系统不会被按规定使用；第二，管理时间浪费在打印管理记账，客户信息等不重要的方面；第三，当信息很容易展示在屏幕上，管理决定却因为等待打印资料而被耽搁。
B：我必须承认我会定期要求我秘书打印资料。
A：我早就猜到是这样，针对此现状怎么办呢？我们近来装上了新型Windows软件，用户只用简单的图标和菜单可在系统内得到所需信息。
我一直认为那样会更简单。
C：我想这需要很多培训吧？
A：倒不怎么需要。
用这种软件，每天早晨你坐在办公桌前，开机后，屏幕上将会显示一个菜单，让您从文件、账目或客户信息中选择。
现在让我们假设，您选择记录，那么随后系统会让您从一表格中选择——确定您所需要看的账目等等。
此系统的另一大优点是您可以同时在屏幕上显示另一个文件，例如，看账目时，您想查看客户信息，那您可在屏幕上开一个窗户，而刚才账目仍保留在屏幕上。
C：听起来挺复杂！
A：一点儿也不，我相信这会更加方便您，也无疑会减轻你秘书的负担。
