Ⅲ.課文篇

Every year many people think of new business ideas that they hope will make them millionaires (or even billionaires). Most new ideas though, even some great ones, can take years to develop. Be ready to work hard and stick to your plan.
每年都有很多人構(gòu)思新的商業(yè)方案，希望因此而成為百萬富翁（或億萬富翁）。大多數(shù)新的方案，即便是一些很出色的方案，也需要開發(fā)多年。做好吃苦的準備，別放棄你的計劃。

Before you tell too many people your great new idea that will set the world on fire, it's best to write it in as much detail as possible. This will reduce the risk of someone stealing your idea!
在向眾人宣布你震驚世界的偉大新方案之前，最好盡可能詳細地將計劃寫下來。這樣可以防止別人竊取你的構(gòu)思。

Always get advice from a lawyer and accountant. A good lawyer can show you how to protect your ideas and the accountant can help to get the financing you will need.
不斷征求律師和會計的建議。好的律師會告訴你怎樣保護自己的方案，而會計會幫你籌集到需要的資金。

Most new businesses require money to get them started. Remember that when a person invests money in your ideas, they will usually want some control over how the money is spent. You may have to be more flexible if you have an investment partner.
多數(shù)新生意開始時都需要資金。記住有人向你的新方案投資時，他們通常想控制資金的使用。如果你有投資伙伴的話，你可能得更靈活一些。

Success is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. It's tough to get to the top and tougher to stay there. Nothing beats hard work.
成功的商業(yè)人士會告訴你掌握資金使用情況是最重要的，尤其是新生意開始的前幾年。找一個會計幫你做一個運作預算，然后照著做。 成功是百分之一的靈感和百分之九十九的汗水。攀到高峰很難，保持不敗更難。辛勤的工作是成功的保障。
