오늘은 8장입니다. 8장 The Perfect Stock, What a Deal!
# Its headquarters are located in the bayous of Louisiana, and to get there you
have to change planes twice, then hire a pickup truck to take you from the
airport. Not one analyst from New York or Boston ever visited Cajun Cleansers,
nor has any institution bought a solitary share.
Mention Cajun Cleansers at a cocktail party and soon you’ll be talking to
yourself. It sounds ridiculous to everyone within earshot.
☞ 비행기를 두 번 갈아타다, 영어로 어떻게 말할까요?
change planes twice
☞ earshot : the range within which one may hear a person's unaided voice
waited until he was out of earshot
☞ 혼자말을 하고 있을 것이다, 영어로는요?
you’ll be talking to yourself
# While expanding quickly through the bayous and the Ozarks, Cajun
Cleansers has had incredible sales. These sales will soon accelerate because the
company just received a patent on a new gel that removes all sorts of stains from
clothes, furniture, carpets, bathroom tiles, and even aluminum siding. The
patent gives Cajun the niche it’s been looking for.
☞ bayous : a large area of water that flows very slowly and has a lot of water plants and animals living in it
☞ niche : BUSINESSan opportunity to sell a particular product or service that no one else is selling
# The company is also planning to offer lifetime prestain insurance to millions
of Americans, who can pay in advance for a guaranteed removal of all the future
stain accidents they ever cause. A fortune in off-balance-sheet revenue will soon
be pouring in.
☞ off-balance-sheet : 대차대조표(*현재는 재무상태표)를 의미합니다.
☞ INTRANSITIVE to flow continuously and in large amounts
