Todd: So, Conrad, you have a new business. Can you talk a little about your new business?
托德：康拉德，你开始了新事业。你能谈谈你的新事业吗？
Conrad: Sure, I have a small English language school called Conrad's English House here in Odawara, where we're sitting here, and by the way, thanks for helping me as my guest teacher today, Todd.
康拉德：当然可以，我在小田原开了一家小型的英语语言学校，名字是康拉德的英语屋，就是我们现在坐的这里，对了，托德，谢谢你今天帮忙做客座讲师。
Todd: Oh, no problem, no problem.
托德：哦，不用谢，不客气。
Conrad: Yeah, I started it in April and all of my students are very motivated and it just makes teaching a very joyful experience.
康拉德：嗯，我四月份创办的这家学校，我的学生都非常积极，这使教学成为了有趣的经历。
Todd: So, what's it like being a new business owner, or owning your own business compared to working for somebody else?
托德：当老板的感觉怎么样？拥有自己的企业和给别人打工相比如何？
Conrad: Yeah, well, it's so much better to run your own school and to be in control of things for one thing, but also, all of the hard work that us English teachers do here in Japan, usually we're doing it for another company, but now I'm doing it for myself and it makes, really, every minute of it much more pleasurable.
康拉德：自己经营学校感觉好多了，一方面可以自己掌控事情，另一方面，日本的英语教师很辛苦，通常我们都是给别人做事，但是现在我为自己工作，所以每一分钟都很愉快。
Todd: Can you give an example of why it's different, or how it's not the same as working for a company?
托德：你能举例来说明一下不同之处吗？自己当老板与为别人工作有什么不同？
Conrad: Yeah, well, for one I can set my own schedule and the times, the hours are what are comfortable for me and what I think match my students needs the best as well.
康拉德：首先，我可以制定自己的计划和时间，我可以选择感觉舒服的时间工作，教授我认为最符合学生需求的内容。
Todd: Is there anything about owning your own company, or your own business, that you don't like?
托德：自己当老板有没有什么地方是你不喜欢的？
Conrad: Not, yet Todd. It's just been since April and so far everything's been nothing to complain about although, you know, just being a new business owner there's lots of things that need to be taken care of and thankfully my, wife, Aki is taking care of all those things like setting up the school and getting a business license and all of those things that need to be done.
康拉德：托德，目前我还没有不喜欢的。我四月份才开始创业，目前没有什么可抱怨的，不过创业有很多事情要处理，幸运的是，我妻子秋处理了这些事，比如成立学校，获得营业执照还有其他需要做的事情。
