斯蒂夫：麥克，你知道怎么寫商業計劃嗎？

麥克：能向我透露透露嗎？

Steve: Not yet my friend but I would like your help in writing the business plan.

斯蒂夫：還不行，朋友，可我想讓你幫我寫這個商業計劃。

Mike: Well, the main things you should include are an outline of your idea, your market research and your budgets.

麥克：你主要應該介紹的是你方案的大綱、你的市場調查和你預算。

Steve: Oh, I didn’t realize that it would be so much work. Is there a quick way instead?

斯蒂夫：噢，我沒想到要做這么多工作。有沒有快一點兒的方法。

Mike: If you ask someone to invest in your business, they will want all of that type of information.

麥克：如果你想要別人投資你的生意，他們會要所有的這類信息。

Steve: I’ve heard a lot about IPO’s recently. They seem like an easy way to get rich.

斯蒂夫：最近我聽說過很多關于IPO（Initial Public Offering上市股）的事。看起來這是一條發財的捷徑。

Mike: Steve you really have a lot to learn about business. I would be happy to help, but I want a percentage of your profits.

麥克：斯蒂夫，關于生意你要學的還多著呢。我很愿意幫你，可我要利潤的提成。

Steve: No wonder people call you ’Mr Ten Percent’. Teach on buddy.

斯蒂夫：怪不得人們叫你“百分之十先生”。繼續教吧，伙計。
