Woman： As you said, you're famous for your advice to industry, but for a long time you were not at all successful in business yourself, were you?

女：正如你所说，你以对企业的建议出名，但很长一段时间你没有成功地经营自己的生意，是吗？

Man： True! The first two organisations I headed went into liquidation! They were both relatively new companies, though, without a long history and were trying to establish their brand name. People had tried to warn me, of course. The resources were there that wasn't the problem but I just couldn't get things to work basically because financial services just isn't my field.

男：是的！我领导的前两家公司破产了！不过，这两家公司都是相对较新的公司，成立时间不长，都在努力树立自己的品牌。当然，人们也试图警告我。资源齐备，并不是问题所在，但我基本上无法让事情运转起来，因为金融服务不是我的特长。

Woman： You enjoy a strong public image, with your unusual choice of clothes, etcetera. Why did you start to cultivate this original style?

女：你喜欢树立强大的公众形象，还有你选择的衣服等等也不同寻常。你为什么开始走这种原始的路线？

Man： Well, many people think I've developed this style just to get myself noticed, but it's really because I think my ability is what matters in business more than my image. I like to do my own thing，so why shouldn't I please myself how I look? I know many other business people prefer to follow convention and dress more seriously that's up to them.

男：嗯，许多人认为我走这种路线只是为了为自己吸引注意力，但这真的是因为我觉得在业务方面，我的能力比形象更重要。我喜欢做我自己的事情，所以在穿着打扮方面我为什么不能选择自己喜欢的？我知道许多其他商人更喜欢遵循惯例，穿得更正式，这取决于他们自己。

Woman： Did this help you to get one of the top jobs in the country the chairmanship of LBI?

女：这是不是帮助你获得了这个国家的最高职位之一，LBI的主席？
