# Or how about Envirodyne? This one was pointed out to me a few years ago
by Thomas Sweeney, then Fidelity’s forest products analyst and now the
manager of Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund. Envirodyne passes the odd name
test: it sounds like something you could bounce off the ozone layer, when
actually it has to do with lunch. One of its subsidiaries, Clear Shield, makes
plastic forks and straws, the perfect business that any idiot could run, but in
reality it has topflight management with a large personal stake in the company.
☞ bounce off : (bounce off something) if light or sound bounces off a surface, it hits it and then moves away from it again
The radar waves bounce off objects in their path.
☞ 운영하다, run, 많이 아시죠? 그럼 응용해 보겠습니다. 어떤 바보라도 운영할 수 있는 회사, 영어로 어떻게 하나요?
the perfect business that any idiot could run
순서를 바꿔보면 이렇게 됩니다.
Any idiot could run the business
☞ topflight : very high in quality, ability, or status
# Envirodyne is number two in plastic cutlery and number three in plastic
straws, and being the lowest-cost producer gives it a big advantage in the
industry.
In 1985, Envirodyne started negotiating to buy Viskase, a leading producer of
intestinal byproducts, particularly the casings surrounding hot dogs and sausages.
They got Viskase from Union Carbide at a bargain price. Then in 1986 they
bought Filmco, the leading producer of the PVC film that’s used to wrap leftover
food items. Plastic forks, hot-dog casings, plastic wrap—pretty soon they’ll take
over the family picnic.
☞ cutlery : the knives, forks, and spoons that you use for eating food. The usual American word is silverware.
☞ 난 넘버 투야, 넘버 원이야, 이런 말 많이 하죠? 어떤 분야에서 넘버 투다, 넘버 쓰리다 영어로 어떻게 했나요?
Envirodyne is number two in plastic cutlery and number three in plastic straws.
응용해 보겠습니다. 우리 팀에서 난 넘버 투야!!! 영어로 해 보세요!
I am number two in my team!!!
☞ intestinal : relating to your intestines
☞ intestine : the long tube in your body that processes food and carries waste out of your body
☞ leftover: remaining after you have finished using the amount that you want or need
☞ casing : a layer of a substance that is used for covering something
