Jin: I think that-hey! HEY! 我想——嘿！嘿！ Rick: What are you “heying” about, Jin? 你‘嘿’个什么劲啊，阿敬？ Jin: This is your investment scheme, isn't it! It's the cheese steak!! 这就是你的投资计划，对不对！就是起司牛排！！ Rick: You were always pretty sharp, Jin! 阿敬，你的反应永远那么快！ Jin: Ha! I knew it! What a wonderful idea! And it would be a brand new product for Taiwan! 哈！我就知道！这点子太赞了！而且这对台湾来说会是全新的产品！ Rick: That was my thinking exactly. 那正是我所想的。 Jin: This is so exciting! Maybe we can speak to the owner. 真是太令人兴奋了！我们或许可以跟老板谈谈。
Rick: I'm a step ahead of you-he'll be here at three. I'm a regular here! 我早你一步——他三点会来。我是这里的常客！ Jin: Do you think he'd be interested in an international franchise operation? 你觉得他会对经营海外授权有兴趣吗？ Rick: It won't hurt to ask. But I'm sure the start-up cost would be near one hundred grand. 反正问一问无妨。但我敢说一开始的成本差不多会要十万美元。 Jin: How soon before I get my investment back, you figure? 就你的估计，我的投资多久能够回本？ Rick: In a franchise situation, three years would be good. 就取得授权的情况而言，能够三年回本算是不错的。 Jin: Three years would be manageable. I'm patient. 三年还算在掌握之中。我很有耐性。 Rick: Remember, you'll have to pay franchise fees and application fees. 记着，你会需要付授权费和申请费。
