不想打工?來做“個(gè)體企業(yè)經(jīng)營者”吧

不想被困在窄小的辦公桌前，當(dāng)朝九晚五的上班族？不想看人臉色打工賣命，賺剛夠維持生活的薪水？你可以考慮做個(gè)solopreneur，開個(gè)公司給自己打工。

A solopreneur refers to a "person who sets up and runs a business on their own". They might use contractors but they have full responsibility for the day-to-day running of their business.
solopreneur(個(gè)體企業(yè)創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)營者)是指“自己創(chuàng)建、經(jīng)營公司的人”。他們也許會(huì)用承包商，但日常業(yè)務(wù)由他們自己全權(quán)負(fù)責(zé)。

從詞根上看，solopreneur的前綴solo指“單獨(dú)的”，而-preneur是指“企業(yè)家”，因此組合起來就得出個(gè)體企業(yè)創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)營者(solopreneur)了。雖然乍一看這個(gè)詞即復(fù)雜又難記，但拆分理解后，是不是還蠻簡(jiǎn)單的？

For example:

The typical solopreneur is easily tempted to become a workaholic, not feeling their work is ever done. They do the administrative tasks, marketing, customer service and service delivery by themselves.
典型的個(gè)體企業(yè)創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)營者很容易成為工作狂，他們總覺得自己的工作沒做完。管理任務(wù)、推廣、客服和服務(wù)交付等工作都由他們自行完成。

Thanks to the online marketplace there has been an explosion of solopreneurs in recent years. Operating a business from the privacy and comfort of home appeals to thousands of people and the Internet helps to facilitate this goal.
多虧有了在線市場(chǎng)，近年來，個(gè)體企業(yè)創(chuàng)業(yè)經(jīng)營者的人數(shù)暴增。成千上萬的人受到這種在家就可以舒舒服服的做自家買賣的模式吸引，而互聯(lián)網(wǎng)則幫助人們實(shí)現(xiàn)了這一目標(biāo)。
