Hey, don't bring it up or you'll make me cry. The competition on the market is pretty fierce. After starting a company at the start of the year, now my work life balance is completely messed up and my hair is already going grey.

贵公司专营加拿大、美国和澳洲的留学业务，特别专攻社会科学类的学门，不过你们在加拿大的市场特别大、也做得很用心，反而对于竞争激烈的美国只针对固定的五、六所顶尖学院，其它知名大学却没有花什么工夫去经营，所以我觉得我的加拿大背景很有优势。

Your company specializes in facilitating exchange programs in Canada, the US and Australia, especially for the social sciences. But you have a particularly strong market in Canada, and you are very meticulous there. In the more competitive US market, you only target five or six of the top schools. You don't spend as much energy on other famous universities, so I think my background in Canada is a big strength.

心理学家有说过，拖延症是种自我保护，并不是精神疾病。现代人处在日益激烈的竞争环境中，产生很大的“评价压力”，一些人恐惧自己没能力面对，于是选择拖延，因为拖延会带给人“掌控感”，也就是说即使最后失败，也可以给自己和他人一个合理的解释，一个台阶下。

A psychologist once said, procrastination is a form of self-protection and that it is not a psychological disorder. People nowadays live in an ever more competitive environment, putting a lot of pressure from criticism, some people fear that they won't be able to measure up, so they choose to procrastinate, because procrastination gives them back a sense of control, so that even if they fail in the end, they can offer up an explanation to themselves and to others, an exit strategy.

现在社会竞争这么激烈，有条件的话，当然要给孩子最好的教育，我可不想因为没钱而让孩子的教育过程留下什么遗憾，生两个孩子，我们能分给每一个孩子的资源可就少了一半。

Nowadays competition in society is so fierce. If you have the means, of course you want to give your child the best education. I don't want to be left with regret because I didn't have the money for my child's education. If we have two children, the amount of resources we can give to each child is reduced by half.

我想大家应该比我更清楚竞争对手的情况，以及笔记本电脑领域的激烈竞争程度。

I think that you probably are even more familiar with our competitors and the intense level of competition in the realm of laptop computers.

为什么竞争如此激烈？答案也许非常简单，潜在的利润。现在还有非常巨大的市场尚未被开发，而这些未开发市场蕴含着丰富的潜在利润。这就是为什么新兴市场的竞争激烈程度远远超过成熟市场的原因。

Why is the competition so intense? The answer is actually quite simple: latent profit. Right now there are massive markets that haven't yet been opened up which contain an abundance of untapped profit. This is why the competition in rising markets is far and away much more intense than that of mature markets.

真不错。说得我也动心了。呆在上海竞争激烈不说，还得挤公交挤地铁，上个班路上就要花两三个小时，就一个字“累”。其实我也想去中小城市发展的，可惜我老婆不让，她总是说为了下一代，也要在上海混下去。

That's really not bad. You're even getting me excited. In Shanghai, not only is the competition intense, you have to squeeze onto the bus and subway. It takes 2 or 3 hours to get to work. I have one word: tiring. Actually, I want to go to a small city and develop myself too. It's too bad my wife won't let me. She always says it's all for the next generation, and that we should stay in Shanghai.
