After returning from Japan in 1964, the 26-year-old Knight began peddling Onitsuka running shoes across the Pacific Northwest. Knight still kept his day job as an accountant. But he persevered, convinced that his inexpensive, high-performance shoes could beat the top "sneakers"--Adidas, Converse All-Stars and Keds--in the market. By 1969, Knight sold a million bucks worth of Onitsuka shoes bearing his Blue Ribbon Sports label. In 1971, Knight decided he could retire his accountant's wing tips. It was also time to give his fledgling company a new name and logo. Knight favored "Dimension Six," but his 45 employees thankfully laughed that one down. Then Jeff Johnson, a fellow running geek, proposed a name that came to him in a dream: Nike, for the Greek winged goddess of victory. The company paid $35 to commission a new logo--a "swoosh"--and the new shoe debuted at the 1972 Olympic trials in Eugene, Ore.

Ask yourself what is holding you back from having a loving relationship. Perhaps you are hurt from a previous break-up. Maybe you are afraid of commitment. Identify these issues and find ways to resolve them. In addition, examine your previous relationships and learn from them. What mistakes did you make? What aspects of a previous relationship would you want to develop in a future relationship?

商务英语阅读教程——参考译文
参考译文Unit 1 参考译文国际商务的范围国际商务是指任何类型的跨国商务活动。
它可以分为4种类型: 对外贸易、服务贸易、有价证券投资和直接投资。
在对外贸易中，国与国之间从事有形货物或商品的进出口业务。
进出口贸易构成了世界上大多数国家最基本的国际商务活动。
除货物和商品进出口贸易外,国家之间还进行服务贸易，如保险、金融、饭店、咨询、旅游及运输。
跨国公司就因在别国提供服务而得到报酬。
国际有价证券投资指在别国进行的金融投资。
投资者购买企业股票和长期债券，无非是为了谋求投资回报。
有价证券投资者的目标不是控制一个企业，他们随时可按市场行情兑现他们所投的资金。
海外直接投资是指在国外建厂或建立销售网络。
投资者可购买外国公司现有的全部或部分资产，以控制或部分控制该公司的销售、生产、科研和发展。
从历史的角度来看，国际商务并非新鲜事物。
它已有上千年的历史，尽管其形式、方法及重要性在不断演变。
在古代，希腊人就在地中海地区从事贸易活动。
在历史的长河中，随着复杂的商务技巧不断出现，商业持续不断的发展，从而促进了货物、资源、资金在国家间的流动。
工业革命提供了大规模生产方法和大规模市场，从而进一步促进了国际商务的发展。
随着工业化水平的提高，对供给、原料、劳动力和运输的需求也日益增大。
20 世纪以来，事实证明，广泛的商务关系覆盖全球。
由于商务实体越来越认识到它们的市场是全球性的，而不仅仅在国内，所以产品、资本和人员比以往任何时候都更紧密地联系在一起。
随着商务活动的范围跨出国界，银行和金融机构接踵而至，以满足商务活动为世界性的投资和经营所需要的资金。
金融市场之间的联系也变得非常纷繁复杂。
美国股市的走向和变化会直接影响到世界上其他地区的产权投资市场。
如今，只有目光短浅的商人才会相信，一个企业在本国市场范围内完全可以实现发展和繁荣。
国内商界起码必须认识到市场竞争的国际根源，因为竞争的根源一直存在，并且日益成为国内商界的威胁。
在世界市场和经济的动态中，这些变化的根源就是世界范围寻求的国际商务活动。

市场份额
测量市场份额有两个来源:竞争者和消费者。对竞争对手的 调查可以使市场份额的描述更准确、更可信。调查所有的竞争 对手是有可能做到的，但对所有的顾客做出调查是不可能做到 的。为了从顾客那里获得一个可信的统计数据，就不得不对大 量的顾客进行调查。对许多行业来说，销售和市场份额的统计 数据或许已经被政府机构、行业协会、或私人研究公司统计整 理出来了。
