今天小編為大家?guī)鞡EC中級(jí)聽力真題，一起來做聽力練習(xí)吧！

聽力原文：

How?did?you?plan?to?get?started?

你是怎么計(jì)劃開始的呢？

Well,?my?initial?idea?was?to?develop?the?toy?and?sell?the?concept?to?a?big?toy?company.

嗯，我最初的想法是開發(fā)這個(gè)玩具，然后把它賣給一家大玩具公司。

I?would?then?retain?the?contract?to?make?it?and?get?them?to?sell?it?under?their?brand?name.

然后我會(huì)簽下生產(chǎn)合同，讓他們以自己的品牌來銷售。

I?didn't?know?anything?about?the?toy?market?and?thought?it'd?be?better?to?leave?the?selling?to?the?experts.

我對(duì)玩具市場一無所知，我想還是把銷售工作留給專家來做比較好。

Did?it?take?long?to?get?a?prototype?ready?

準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)模型花了很長時(shí)間嗎？

Longer?than?I'd?anticipated.?I?spent?eighteen?months?refining?the?straw?idea?with?six?lengths?of?rod?connectors?before?the?basic?Klikset?was?ready.

比我預(yù)想的要長。我花了18個(gè)月的時(shí)間，用6個(gè)長度的棒狀連接器完善了吸管的想法，之后Klikset初步形成。

Once?I'd?decided?to?go?down?the?path?that?was?it.?Nothing?was?going?to?stop?me.

一旦我決定沿著這條路走下去，就無法改變。沒有什么能阻止我。

If?it?was?a?total?failure,?it?would?set?me?back?five?years?financially，but?I?believed?it?would?catch?on?eventually.

如果最后徹底失敗，經(jīng)濟(jì)上我要倒退回五年前，但我相信它最終會(huì)流行起來。

So?did?you?go?ahead?and?set?up?your?company?then?

那么，當(dāng)時(shí)你打算成立自己的公司了嗎？

I?tried?to?sell?it?to?the?big?manufacturers,?who?didn't?want?to?know.

我試著把它賣給那些沒興趣的大制造商。

I?decided?that?as?they?weren't?interested,?I?would?learn?their?business?and?do?it?myself.

我決定，既然他們不感興趣，我要學(xué)習(xí)他們的業(yè)務(wù)，自己做。

I?researched?the?toy?industry?thoroughly.?I?even?applied?for?jobs?in?toy?shops?just?so?I?could?go?to?the?interviews?and?find?out?more?about?the?business.

我對(duì)玩具業(yè)進(jìn)行了深入的研究。我甚至申請(qǐng)了玩具店的工作，這樣我就可以去參加面試，了解更多關(guān)于玩具店的事情。

I?also?contacted?as?many?store?buyers?as?possible?and?asked?what?kind?of?toys?they?were?looking?for.

我也聯(lián)系了盡可能多的商店買家，詢問他們想要什么樣的玩具。

I?got?a?part?time?job?in?a?toy?factory?before?setting?up?Klikset?in?nineteen?ninety-three.

在1993年創(chuàng)建Klikset之前，我在一家玩具廠找到了一份兼職工作。

And?was?it?easy?to?sell?your?product?

銷售產(chǎn)品容易嗎？
