(i) Mr HU Jian-bin “has * * * a son in Los Angeles who is about to go to university. He recently bought his son an $80,000 BMW. 'Money is rolling in,' he says, explaining his largesse.”

胡建兵（音译）* * * 最近，他为儿子买了一辆价值8万美元的宝马(BMW)。在解释这一慷慨手笔时，他说：“我有的是钱。”
(ii) "'I want [my children] to have to slave away for years before they have enough money to get their feet on the ground,' he [Hu]  says." (brackets original)

我想让（我的孩子们）在有钱立足之前先苦干几年。
(iii) Mr Lucio YANG Guang “studied international economics at Florence University and eventually earned a master’s degree, again fully funded by the Italian government.”

杨光曾在佛罗伦萨大学(Florence University)学习国际经济学，后来他又获得了一个硕士学位，这个学位也是在意大利政府的全额资助下拿到的。
(iv) “but he [Yang] wants a more fulfilling career. So he has taken a job with the Prato council as an outreach officer, visiting factories to help owners and their workers assimilate. He believes a private sector market is emerging across Europe for people like him who can help Chinese entrepreneurs make sense of European customs and corporate rules.”

不过他还想找个更满意的工作。 于是，他在普拉托 议会 找了一份外联员的工作，负责访问各大工厂，帮助工厂主和工人融入当地社会。他认为，欧洲各地的私营企业都开始需要像他这样，能帮助中国企业家理解欧洲风俗及企业规则的人。
