Unit 11 setting up a business文章翻译
Unit 11 Setting up a Business设立企业Key Vocabulary重要词汇Many large business in the UK are public limited companies (plc) [1], which means that the public can buy and sell their shares on the stock exchange. Examples include Marks & Spencer [2]，British Telecom[3]and the National Westminster Bank[4]. The minimum share capital for a public limited company is ￡50,000. So many new businesses are likely to take one of the following forms.在英国，许多企业都是股份制公司，人们可以在股票交易所进行股票买卖交易。
例如玛莎百货，英国电信，国民西敏寺银行这些企业都是股份制公司。
股份制企业的最小股本一般为5万英镑。
一般来说，许多企业都倾向于选择以下经营模式中的一种来经营。
Sole Trader or Sole Proprietor (UK)独资经营或者说个体户经营模式（英国）The simplest way of starting a business. You are self-employed and entirely responsible for all aspects of the management of your business.这是最简单的一种经营模式。
由个体户独自经营管理企业里的大小事务。
Partnership (UK)合作经营（英国）Two or more people starting a business together can set up a partnership. All partners are responsible for the debts of the partnership, and profits and losses are shared between them .由2个或者以上的人合作经营。
所有合作人一起分担债务，分享利润或者承担损失。
Private Limited Company (UK)私人有限公司或者有限责任公司（英国）A company can be formed with a minimum of two people becoming its shareholders. They must appoint a director and a company secretary[5]. If the company goes out of business, the responsibility of each shareholder is limited to the amount that they have contributed; they have limited liability [6]. Such a company has Ltd (Limited) after its name.私人有限公司或者有限责任公司由至少二个股东来组成。
需有理事及高层管理人员。
如果公司倒闭，每个股东只需承担一定的风险和负债责任，他们的偿债责任是有限度的。
这类公司一般在公司名称后面加上“有限公司”字样。
In the US, businesses take the same forms. However, American companies are registered or incorporated with the authorities in the state where they have their headquarters. The abbreviations Inc and Corp refer to such companies. To sell shares to the public they must apply to the Securities Exchange Commission[7].美国的企业也是采用以上的经营模式。
但是，美国公司需要在总部所在的州政府注册登记。
这类公司在公司名称后面以Inc 和Corp结尾。
如果要发行股票的话，他们需要首先向证券交易委员会提示申请。
重要词汇备注：[1] public limited companies (plc) 股份有限公司[2] Marks & Spencer，“玛莎百货”，英国的著名零售商[3] British Telecom英国电信[4] National Westminster Bank国民西敏寺银行[5]company secretary公司高层，职位比照执行董事[6]limited liability有限责任[7]Securities Exchange Commission证券交易委员会The Idea manHere’s a few of the most prolific[1] entrepreneurs in computer history.Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Roger Foster.在计算机产业史上有许多企业家，诸如以下几位：史蒂夫.乔布斯，比而.盖次，罗杰.富斯德。
Roger who ?罗杰其人Admittedly, this British entrepreneur is no household name[2]---but if history had any justice he would be. For more than 30 years, with his ventures, Foster has always been able to spot the next big wave in the industry.诚然，罗杰，这个英国企业家并不是个家喻户晓的名字，但是就历史的角度来看，他可以算作一位计算机产业史上的名人。
因为，在过去的30多年里，他的每一次商业冒险事迹，总是能掀起该产业的阵阵轩然大波。
Borrowed start白手起家He left school at 16, but qualified as a chartered accountant five years later. It was during his first job at GKN PLC, that “the light dawned”. Computers were expensive and cumbersome yet increasingly companies were using them to run back-office[3] operations such as payroll.罗杰16岁辍学，他的第一份工作是在GKN股份有限公司工作，5年后获得注册会计师资格，这为他后来的发展垫定了坚实的基础。
尽管在当时电脑价格昂贵，体型笨拙，但是越来越多的公司都选择用电脑来处理诸如工资表，员工花名册等办公信息.So in 1965, with two colleagues and loans from their parents he set up ACT, designing software systems and offering computer programming services to corporate accounting departments.因此，罗杰在1965年与2个同事合伙，从他们父母处借款创立了ACT公司，公司业务范围是编制软件系统，为财务核算部门提供电脑程序服务.After two years, ACT started making a profit. In fact, it was so successful that it became, in 1979, the first British software company to be listed on the Stock Exchange.2年后，ACT开始盈利。
事实上，ACT业务相当成功，于1979年成为第一个上市的英国软件公司。
Soon after, however, Foster decided that the future lay in hardware. A little chip company called Intel Corp. had launched the first microprocessors not long before, and a few entrepreneurs saw a future in small, personal computers made from them. 然而，不久之后，富斯德决定把未来的业务方向定位在硬件上。
就在不久前，有一家叫英特尔的芯片公司曾经第一次经营销售微处理器，一些企业家们很看好这个微处理器在小巧型电脑及私人电脑市场的未来前景。
After distributing a US-made PC called the Sirius for a couple of years, ACT started manufacturing its own version in 1982. The result, the Apricot, was a phenomenal success.经过几年的Sirius(一种美国制造的私人电脑)电脑分销，ACT于1982年开始生产制造自己的特有版本，叫做Apricot，并取得惊人的成就.Between 1983 and 1985, ACT sold between 40,000 and 50,000 Apricots a year, more than anyone else in the UK, including IBM. At the company's height, recalls Peter Horne, one of Apricot's co-founders, "We couldn't make enough to satisfy demand." 在1983年到1985年间，ACT每年销售4万到5万的Apricots，这个销量在当时英国包括IBM 在内的所有其它品牌中名列前茅。

英语中的概括词all, every, both, 以及与every 构成的合成 词，用语否定句式时，只表示部分否定，常译成“并 非……都”，因此两个错误译句的含义分别为：并非两本 书都是英国出版的，并非所有这些方案我都同意。要表达 全部否定意义时，英语须用全否定词语，如none，neither, no, nobody, nothing, not ... any, not ... either等。
4
“任何……不”是汉语中常用的否定句式，而在英语中 与any构成的合成词或被any修饰的词语作主语时，谓语动词 不能用否定式，因此any ... not的表达形式不符合英语的习惯。 翻译这类句子时须用“否定形式的主语+肯定形式的谓语”。 但当any的合成词或any所修饰的词带有后置定语时，谓语可 以用否定式，如：
我认为这不值得一试。 误：I think this is not worth trying. 正：I don't think this is worth trying.

Unit-11-On-Becoming-a-Better-Student课文翻译综合教程三
Unit 11On Becoming a Better Student(abridged)Donna Farhi Schuster1 As students we expect a great deal from our teachers. We expect them to be enthusiastic. We expect them reliable. We may even have expectations that they be endless repositories of skill and knowledge from which we may partake at will.2 As a teacher I have come to feel weighted by these expectations and have begun to see that it is really not possible to teach. All the words and theories and techniques are of no use to students who have yet to open themselves with receptivity and to take it upon themselves to practice. So in a sense I have given up trying to “teach,” for I’ve come to believe that the greatest thing I can offer my students is to help them learn how to find themselves through their own investigation.3 Many factors come together to make a fine student. Find someone you think is extraordinary, and you will find many, if not all, of the following qualities. People who learn a great deal in what seems like a very short time embody these qualities.4Curiosity Such people are tremendously curious. The whole world is of interest to them, and they observe what others do not. Nobel Prize-winner physician Albert-Gyorgyi put it well when he said, “Discovery consists of lo oking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.” With this curiosity comes an “investigative spirit”; the learning is not so much the acquisition of information as it is an investigation—a questioning, a turning over of the object of study to see all sides and facets. It is not knowing in the sense of having a rigid opinion, but the ability to look again at another time, in a different light, as Gyorgyi suggests, and to form a new understanding based on that observation.5Discipline Any discipline — but especially those with great subtlety and complexity, like yoga or t’ai chi — can be a lifelong pursuit. Persistence, consistency, and discipline are required. Without these, our learning is but forth without substance. There are no shortcuts. The fruit of these seemingly dry qualities (which we prefer to admire in others) is the satisfaction of having tasted the fullness of completion, or the thrill of meeting a difficult challenge with success. Perhaps, though, our culture is in need of redefining what it means to study. If we can look at our chosen discipline or craft as an ongoing process rather than as a discrete accomplishment, the potential for learning can be infinite. With this attitude we may find ourselves treating even the most mundane discovery withwide-eyed wonder and joy.6Risk-Taking Why is it, then, that so few people live up to their true potential? Beyond the well-paved roads and secure structures we usually build for ourselves lie demons, unsure footing — and unfelt pleasures. To be a student is to take risks. Yet most education discourages people from venturing far enough to take risks to make mistakes. “Children enter school as question marks and leave as periods,” observes educator Neil Postman. What kind of punctuation mark do you represent? Do you find yourself looking for tidy answers that give you a feeling of security? By learning to find the one right answer, we may have relinquished our ability to find other answers and solutions. We learn, then, not to put ourselves into situations where we might fail, because failure has tremendous social stigma. When we try different approaches and do things that have no precedence in our experience, we will surely make mistakes. A creative person uses these “failure” as stepping stones.7Initiative Can we begin, then, to see that our teachers are guides on our journey, but that the journey itself is our own responsibility? There is nothing quite so satisfying as undergoing a difficult process and after long hard work discovering the true nature of that process. It could be as simple as throwing a perfect pot, or as complex as formulating a new theory of physics. The satisfaction we feel will be directly proportional to amount of work we do by ourselves to achieve our goal. Successful students do not expect to be spoon-fed, but take their own initiative. Wanting answers from my teacher has often been a way for me to avoid taking the initiative to discover my own answers through my own practice.8Enthusiasm To learn, then, is to open oneself. Jim Spira, director of the Institute for Educational Therapy in Berkeley, California, asks his students to prepare themselves to learn in this way: “Drop your prior knowledge … [and] attempt to grasp the new framework in it s own context. The student complains, ‘But I know what is important.’ If what you know is important, then it should be there when you finish the course. If you continually ‘hold onto it,’ then you’ll only see what is presented in terms of the old knowledge/framework and never really grow in new ways.”9 Finally, as we each advance on our own unique journey, let us live each day as beginners. Being “advanced” has its own pitfalls —among them complacency and pushing or forcing. To go deeper may mean to be still, to progress more patiently, or to devote more time to other areas of our lives as yet green and immature. As F.M. Alexander, of the Alexander technique, once said to his students as they strained and labored, “Give up trying too hard, but never give up.”10TIPS FOR THE ASPIRING STUDENTThe information that follows is designed as a guide. The author welcomes correspondence from those who can add to it.●Be attentive. Teachers will usually go out of their way to help a self-motivated andinterested student.●Be seen. If you want the teacher to know that you are serious, sit or stand in thefront of the class. Make eye contact and introduce yourself, either before or after class.●Be on time. Consistent lateness is a sign of disrespect. If you take your teacher’sskill so lightly, why should he or she take you seriously? Missing the beginning of class can also be physically dangerous if you have missed explanations and work meant to prepare you for more difficult movements.●Be consistent. The quality of any class improves when there is a collectivecommitment to regular attendance. In this way you can gain a cumulative knowledge and progress at a more rapid pace. On a more practical level, your attendance may be your teacher’s livelihood.●Listen with your whole body. We have come to treat words like the backgroundnoise of a radio. Plant words in the pertinent area of your body so that information can be “embodied”.●Appreciate constructive criticism. Remember why you’re there—to break throughrestrictive habit patterns and to change. Teachers usually reserve the most scathing criticism for their most promising students!●Questions can help clarify and enrich both teacher and student if the student’squestions are pertinent. If, on the contrary, the student is asking questions because he or she is late or inattentive, the student is being disrespectful to the teacher and fellow classmates and is consequently lowering the quality of the class. Highly personal questions with little relevance to the subject at hand are best asked after class.●You have the right to disagree — but you do not always have the right to express it.Sometimes it is appropriate to challenge a teacher. It is unethical, however, to argue with a teacher or badger a teacher in public. If you thoroughly object to what is being taught, you are free to leave and learn elsewhere.●Let your teacher know how much you appreciate him or her. Teachers needencouragement like everyone else. Giving them feedback when something has proved particularly beneficial or injurious to you can help them improve the qualityof their teaching.优秀学生是怎么炼成的（节选）唐娜·法伊·舒斯特1. 作为学生我们对老师期望甚高。

But the conflagration that followed burned up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property. There is no estimating within hundreds of millions the actual damage wrought.2 Not in history has a modern imperial city been so completely destroyed。
SanFrancisco is gone。
Nothing remains of it but memories and fringe of dwelling houses on its outskirts。
Its industrial section is wiped out. Its business section is wiped out. Its social and residential section is wiped out. The factories and warehouses，the great stores and newspaper buildings, the hotels and the palaces of the nabobs，are all gone。
Remains only the fringe of dwelling houses on the outskirts of what was once San Francisco。
Setting up a business(创业)-最新范文
Setting up a business（创业）Before deciding to start or buy a business, one needs to develop sound business ideas, perform adequate market research, engage in necessary financial planning, and decide on the form of the business. The latter entails deciding whether to have sole ownership, co-owners, or to establish a corporation. It is important to determine whether a market exists for your service or product, and how best to access this market. Trade associations, local offices of the federal Small Business Administrations, prospective franchisers, as well as banks and private business consultants can help with financial planning. Capital for new businesses generally derives from contributions made by investors, loans from banks and financial institutions, and capital raised from other individuals and institutions. Capital can be obtained from other individuals through limited partnerships. According to many such types of equity or debt ownership, particular laws of securities acts apply. These acts entail a variety of legal obligations and requirements. For more information on setting up a business, contact a qualified attorney.翻译：在决定开始做买卖或者购买一个商行前,你需要建立合理的商业理念、进行充分的市场调查,作必要的财务计划再决定商业运作模式,然后决定是否是建立独资形式、合伙方式或是设立公司。
