  Few could truly claim that teens are, on the whole, terribly useful.
  很少有人能断言,年仅十几岁的少年一般能大获成功。

  It helps if you have a strong admiration for Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
  如果你十分仰慕苹果CEO史蒂夫·乔布斯,那么这个故事会使你深受启发。

  According to the Daily Mail, Christian Owens, a 16-year-old from Corby in the United Kingdom, happened to be moved by the revolutionary chief executive. So, at the age of 14, he created a company called Mac Bundle Box, a neat little way for people to save money on various Mac OS X apps.
  《每日邮报》报道称,英国科尔比市16岁的男孩克里斯蒂安·欧文斯,正是受了这位大胆创新的CEO启发。所以,在14岁时,他创办了名为"Mac Bundle Box"的公司,打包低价出售苹果公司产品的各种应用软件。

  Not only was Owens a teen who enjoyed saving his customers money, he even donated some of his profits to charity. And still he made 700,000 British pounds. Which feels like a million dollars.
  欧文斯不单只是喜欢为顾客省钱的少年,他甚至还将公司的一部分利润捐给慈善机构。除此之外他还挣到了70万英镑,相当于100万美金。

  Owens does look a little on the nerdy side, with happily unruly curly hair and glasses that somehow reminded me of the cult classic "Joe 90," in which a 9-year-old becomes a special agent.
  看上去欧文斯确实有点书生气,一头肆意杂乱无章的卷发,一副眼镜;不知为何,他的形象让我想起经典剧集《小飞谍》中那个9岁的小特工。
