双语资讯︰新时代中国创业精神兴起.docxVIP

In the cold basement of an office block in northwest Beijing, a group of would-be entrepreneurs huddle around a computer screen, poring over their latest prototype. A few miles away, in a well-heated and distinctly more luxurious underground lecture room, a group of 30 managers and entrepreneurs also debate ideas for new products and ventures. 在北京西北部一栋办公楼的冷飕飕的地下室里，一群未来的创业者们正聚集在电脑屏幕前，注视着最新的项目雏形。而在几英里之外，在一个暖气充足、明显更为豪华的地下演讲厅里，30名经理和创业者也在讨论有关新产品和新公司的创意。Both groups are testament to the growing appetite for start-ups in China.
