对话一
Good evening, and welcome to this week's Business World, the program for and about business people.
晚上好，欢迎到本周的商业世界，这个节目旨在面向和讲述商务人士。
Tonight, we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?
今晚，我们请来史提芬·凯恩，他刚接手并成立了一家自行车商店。凯恩先生，是什么让你想开自己的商店？
Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby.
我总是很喜欢自行车赛和修车。当我在一家大公司担任推销员时，我很少有时间享受我的爱好。
I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I'll do it. I had my heart set on it, and I didn't let anything stand in my way.
我知道只要我有足够的钱，我就会做自己的事业。我已经下定决心，不让任何事阻挡我。
When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I'd love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.
当我去银行获得商业贷款时，我知道我想成为自己的老板。现在我的时间是自己的。开店、关店的时间都由我来掌握。
You mean you don't keep regular hours?
你的意思是你的时间不固定？
Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.
商店写的是10点到6点营业，但是如果生意比通常差，我就早点锁门离开。
Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?
你雇佣了与你一起工作的职员吗？
Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do.
当然，和我一样爱骑自行车的好朋友。
They help me out a few days a week. It's great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers.
他们一周帮我几天。很棒，因为没有顾客时，我们就打牌或是聊天。
Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.
谢谢你，凯恩先生。我们祝您事业成功。
