Difficult Sentences:
(Para,1) Last week I discussed the reasons for business bankruptcy and concluded that the ultimate problem often lies in the fact that founders of the business are not cut out to start up and develop their own operations.
上周我论述了生意破产的原因并得出结论：根本的问题常常在于公司的创办人并非天生就适合开创和自己的经营。
In the object that-clause modifying concluded,the fact used as the object of the verb lies in is supplemented by the following appositive clause that founders of the business are not cut out to start up and develop their own operations
Example,We must face the fact that we might lose the opportunity.
(Para,1) Sometimes this is due to a lack of knowledge,skill or business experience,and sometimes to personal weakness.
有时这是由于缺乏知识、能力或经商的经验；然而有时则是由于个人的缺点所致。
“Sometimes to personal weakness” is the reduced form of,sometimes this is due to personal weakness”.
Example,The difficulty is not lack of understanding,but of involvement.
(Para,2) Not all entrepreneurs are cast in the same mould.
并非所有的企业家都是一个模子造就的。
“Not + all,both,every,etc” beginning a sentence means partial negation and should be translated as,并非所有、两者、每个…都…”
Example,Not every room in the hotel was occupied.
(Para,2) Whatever the difference is,there is one factor which all successful entrepreneurs have in common – they and their firms are always on the move.
无论差异是什么，有一点是所有成功企业家共有的，这就是他们与他们的公司总是在不断变动。
The relative clause,which all successful entrepreneurs have in common” is a restrictive on e modifying factor,The clause they and their firms are always on the move further explains on factor.
Example,Whoever you are,there is one rule which you should remember – you should respect others.
(Para,13) The survey in 1998 reveals somewhat greater academic attainments but apart from the obvious value of management skills which result from acquiring an MBA…
1998年的这次调查显示，学业程度比以前稍有提高，但除了从MBA中学到的管理技能有明显价值外，…
“Apart from” is a preposition used to introduce an adverbial of exception,It means,with the exception of”.,Which result from acquiring and MBA…”is a relative clause modifying management skills.
Example,Apart from a few minor faults,it is a good piece of work.
(Para,15) On the other hand,the majority had started businesses which bore no commercial relationship to their previous employment.
另一方面，他们中的大多数人开办的企业与他们从前的职业并没有商业上的联系。
“On the other hand” is an adverbial phrase which means,另一方面，相反”in Chinese.,Which bore no commercial relationship to their previous employment” is a relative clause modifying business.
Example,I want to go to the party,but on the other hand I ought to be studying.

Difficult Sentences:

上周我论述了生意破产的原因并得出结论：根本的问题常常在于公司的创办人并非天生就适合开创和自己的经营。
In the object that-clause modifying concluded,the fact used as the object of the verb lies in is supplemented by the following appositive clause that founders of the business are not cut out to start up and develop their own operations

(Para,1) Sometimes this is due to a lack of knowledge,skill or business experience,and sometimes to personal weakness.

Example,The difficulty is not lack of understanding,but of involvement.
(Para,2) Not all entrepreneurs are cast in the same mould.
