日本创业者面临的独特挑战 妻子的阻拦（在线收听） |
TOKYO — Entrepreneurs everywhere face challenges like persuading investors to believe in them enough to give them a pile of cash or working out the practical steps of turning their great idea into reality. 东京——企业家面临各种挑战，比如去说服投资者足够相信他们并给他们投资，再比如如何把他们的想法变成实际。
But in Japan budding entrepreneurs face two additional challenges known here as “wife block” and “parent block.”
但是在日本刚开始创业的企业家还面临着两个传统的挑战：妻子和父母。
There’s no Japanese Silicon Valley no Japanese Mark Zuckerberg. Almost all Japanese innovation — from the Walkman to the Game Boy — has happened inside the safe cocoon of corporate behemoths such as Sony and Nintendo.
这里没有日本的硅谷没有日本的马克·扎克伯格。几乎所有日本创新——从随身听到掌上游戏机--都发生在安全的茧内的企业巨头比如索尼和任天堂。
But slowly very slowly the environment for entrepreneurs here is improving.
但是慢慢地慢慢地企业家的环境正在改善。
“It’s slow but the culture is definitely changing for sure” said Allan Watanabe who has started Fileable a data-storage system that can read patents and other legal documents and then offer feedback.
“虽然很缓慢，但是这种文化无疑正在改变中，”Allan Watanabe如是说，他创立了一个叫做Fileable的数据存储系统，这种系统可以读取专利和其他法律文件并提供反馈。 |
