TED演讲-假如公司中的每个人都拥有股票

在TED演讲节目中，演讲者清晰的口语表达及其内容的写作手法都是值得我们学习借鉴的。下面请结合视频内容及下方的原文和翻译，开始今天的口语学习吧！

原文及翻译

What if everyone in a company had stock ownership, not just to the assistant treasury level, but to the factory floor, and distribution centers? How might employees' lives be impacted? In 2015, we invested in a company called Chi Overhead Doors. Out of 800 employees, only 18 had stock ownership. So that means when we bought the business, most people got nothing and just went back to work, and a small handful made many millions of dollars. 

如果公司中的每个人都拥有股票，不仅是财务助理级别的，还包括工厂车间和配送中心的股票，会怎么样？员工的生活会受到怎样的影响？2015年，我们投资了一家名为 Chi Overhead Doors 的公司。在 800 名员工中，只有 18 人拥有股票。这意味着当我们收购这家公司时，大多数人什么都没得到，只是回去工作，而少数人赚了数百万美元。

Employee engagement scores were absolutely dismal. So, on day 1, all 800 employees were granted stock ownership so they would participate as the value of the company went up, through dividends along the way and at the end when the business was sold. But this was about much more than just stock ownership. Employees were educated about the business. They were kept informed. 

员工敬业度得分非常糟糕。因此，在第一天，所有 800 名员工都获得了股票所有权，这样他们就可以参与公司价值的上升，通过一路上的分红，以及在公司出售时。但这不仅仅是股票所有权。员工们接受了有关业务的教育。他们随时了解情况。

Once a quarter, we got everyone together and we talked openly about what was working and what was not and where the business was headed. We shared our financial information transparently. When the company was sold, we gathered everyone in our main manufacturing plant in central Illinois. 

每个季度，我们把所有人召集在一起，公开讨论哪些行得通，哪些行不通，以及业务的发展方向。我们透明地分享我们的财务信息。当公司被出售时，我们把所有人聚集在伊利诺伊州中部的主要制造厂。

With our most tenured factory workers earning six and a half times their annual income or half a million dollars. So this was life-impacting amounts of money. This wasn't a gift, it didn't happen by chance. They made it happen, and it did change the community. 340 million dollars of wealth was injected into the community, and it's forever changed.

我们工厂最资深的工人的年薪是他们年薪的六倍半，也就是五十万美元。所以这是影响生活的金钱。这不是一份礼物，也不是偶然发生的。他们让这一切成为现实，也确实改变了社区。3.4 亿美元的财富被注入社区，它永远改变了。
