1. Needs and Wants | 需要与欲望
Needs are essential items required for survival, such as food, water, shelter and clothing. Without them, a person cannot live a healthy life.
需要是生存所必需的物品，如食物、水、住所和衣物。没有这些，人无法健康生活。
Wants are things that people desire but are not necessary for survival. Examples include designer handbags, video games and luxury holidays.
欲望是人们渴望但并不是生存必需的东西。例如名牌手袋、电子游戏和豪华假期。
Memory Tip: 'You need water to live, but you want cola.'
记忆技巧："你需要水才能生存，但你想要可乐。"
2. Goods and Services | 商品与服务
A good is a tangible, physical product that can be touched and stored, such as a pen, a car, or a packet of crisps.
商品是一种有形的、可以触摸并储存的实体产品，比如一支笔、一辆汽车或一包薯片。
A service is an intangible action performed by a person or machine for a consumer, such as a train ride, a dental check-up, or streaming music.
服务是为消费者提供的一种无形活动，由人或机器执行，比如乘坐火车、牙科检查或流媒体音乐。
Memory Tip: If you can drop it on your foot, it is a good. If it hurts your foot but you cannot see it, it is a service (like a painful but invisible massage).
记忆技巧：如果可以砸到脚，那就是商品。如果脚疼但看不见东西，那就是服务（比如一次疼痛的无形按摩）。
3. Entrepreneurs and Enterprise | 企业家与创业
An entrepreneur is a person who takes the risk of starting a new business, bringing together resources (land, labour, capital) to produce goods or services in the hope of making a profit.
企业家是承担创业风险、整合资源（土地、劳动力、资本）来生产产品或服务以期望获利的人。
Enterprise refers to the skill of spotting a business opportunity and being willing to take calculated risks to turn it into a profitable venture.
创业精神是指发现商业机会并愿意承担可计算的风险将其转化为盈利企业的技能。
Key characteristics of successful entrepreneurs include creativity, determination, risk-taking and self-confidence.
成功企业家的关键特质包括创造力、决心、冒险精神和自信。
Memory Tip: Imagine an 'entrepreneur' as 'enter-prise' – they enter a new market with a surprising idea.
记忆技巧：把 'entrepreneur' 想象成 '进入企业' ——带着一个令人惊奇的想法进入新市场。
4. Types of Business Ownership | 企业所有权类型
A sole trader is a business owned and controlled by one person. They keep all profits but have unlimited liability, meaning their personal assets are at risk if the business fails.
个体经营者是由一个人拥有和控制的生意。他们获得所有利润，但承担无限责任，意味着如果生意失败，个人财产也会面临风险。
A partnership is a business owned by two or more people who share the profits, decision-making and risks. Partners usually sign a deed of partnership to agree on terms.
合伙企业是由两个或更多人共同拥有、共享利润和决策并分担风险的生意。合伙人通常会签署一份合伙协议来确定条款。
Unlimited liability means the owners are personally responsible for all business debts. Limited liability (found in companies) protects personal wealth.
无限责任意味着企业主个人对所有商业债务负责。有限责任（存在于公司中）则保护个人财富。
Memory Tip: Sole = alone, so sole trader works alone. Partnership = partners in a ship – you sail together but share the storms.
记忆技巧：Sole（单独的）= 独自，所以个体经营者单干。合伙关系就像在同一条船上航行，共同面对风浪。
5. Demand and Supply | 需求与供给
Demand is the quantity of a product or service that consumers are willing and able to buy at a given price over a period of time. As price falls, demand usually rises.
需求是指在一定时期内、给定价格下消费者愿意且能够购买的产品或服务的数量。价格下降，需求通常增加。
Supply is the quantity of a product or service that producers are willing and able to sell at a given price. As price rises, supply typically increases.
供给是指生产者在一定价格下愿意并能够出售的产品或服务的数量。价格上升，供给通常增加。
The equilibrium price is where demand equals supply – the market clears with no surplus or shortage.
均衡价格是需求等于供给时的价格，市场出清，没有过剩或短缺。
Memory Tip: Think of demand as 'desire with money' and supply as 'stuff to sell'. When they match, it is a happy market.
记忆技巧：把需求看作"有钱的渴望"，把供给看作"待售的东西"。当它们匹配时，就是快乐的市场。
6. Markets and Competition | 市场与竞争
A market is any place (physical or online) where buyers and sellers meet to exchange goods and services. It can be local, national or global.
市场是买家和卖家聚集交换商品和服务的任何地方（实体或在线）。它可以是本地、全国或全球的。
Competition occurs when two
