Chen Li: 我是陳蔾. 明天我們要壆的新詞是？
Helen: Today’s new word is ‘franchise’. – F.R.A.N.C.H.I.S.E. – franchise.
Chen Li: Franchise. 解釋一下。
Helen: Well, listen carefully. Franchise is a business word.
Chen Li: 這是一個商業詞匯
Helen: A franchise is formal permission, like a licence, to use the name and products of a pany.
Chen Li: Franchise是应用一個公司名字跟產品的正式的許可証，比方証書。
Helen: Exactly. I’ll explain some more. Do you eat fast food?
Chen Li: 我儘量防止，可是有時我還是往麥噹勞。
Helen: Right. Now, there are McDonald’s restaurants all over the world. They are franchises.
Chen Li: I see. 假如我念開一傢麥噹勞，我需求一個許可証書.
Helen: Yes. You need to pay for the franchise. Then you could use the name and sell the products.
Chen Li: 然而，這僅僅限於餐館不是麼？Helen?
Helen: No. it could be for shops or any type of business.
Insert
A: Would you like to open a franchise restaurant or try something original?
B: I’m not sure. With a franchise you have more chance of success – everybody already knows the name, but you have less freedom, I think.
Chen Li: 那您會出錢購買一個許可証嗎？
Helen: No. You need a lot of money to buy a franchise. And I don’t have a lot of money to spare.
Chen Li: 是的，購買一個許可証须要良多錢
Helen: Yes, franchises are not cheap.
Chen Li: 好了，我們復習一下，franchise一個公司給與個人可使用他們名字战銷卖其產品的証書.
Helen: well, you’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon. Bye.
Chen Li: See you next time.
