Entrepreneurs Bring Change to World　(2/2)

"Right now we're in about 55 countries, and about 567 cities across the world." Some analysts say Craig's List is having the same effect on newspapers as that Ford's car had on the horse and wagon.
"现在我们覆盖了全世界的55个国家的567个城市."一些分析家说Craig's List 对报纸的影响就像福特汽车对骑马和马车的影响一样.

Since the collapse of communism, entrepreneurs have taken off in places where they were once forbidden, like Russia. Yana Yakovleva is the financial director of a Moscow company that manufacture's silicon silicone.

Despite new freedoms, she says, that government bureaucracy still makes it hard to be an entrepreneur. "A bureaucrat scores a point for each court case he initiates or for every company he closes, and this improves his job performance evaluation," she noted. 除了新的自由,她说,政府的官僚作风仍然使称为企业家是意见难事.一个官僚主义者每发起一个法律案件或者每关闭一家公司,他赢得一分,这可以改善了他的工作表现评价.
　
In Venezuela, currency exchange controls and a leadership hostile to free markets make it difficult to do business. Caracas food distributor Santiago Alvarez complains that government bureaucrats are unhelpful.
在委内瑞拉,汇率管控和对自由市场的敌对领导使做生意更加困难.加拉加斯食物配送商人Santiago Alvarez 抱怨政府的官僚主义毫无用处.

"Getting all the permits to start a business is a real challenge," explained Alvarez. "You have to face tremendous amounts of bureaucracy from a lot of different entities, in order to get permits and to get financing."
"获得所有的许可来开始一个生意真的是一个挑战,为了或者这些许可及得到资金,你必须面对来自不同的部门的极多的官僚."
