But now Mr Horie says he is being welcomed back into the business world.

Mr Abe's three-part plan to revive the economy, known asAbenomics, is designed to help start-ups as well as big business.
安倍晋三复苏经济的三步计划被称为安倍经济复苏计划,是用来帮助新兴小企业和已有的大企业的。

The third part, a series of reforms to boost long-term growth rates, includes radical4 deregulation in newspecial economic zones spread across the country.

If this pledge is honoured, many new opportunities could emerge for entrepreneurs in industries ranging from medical care to agriculture.

The reforms also involve pressing the banks to stop demanding onerous5 personal guarantees when entrepreneurs seek loans for their businesses.

The overall number of firms is shrinking, and the rate at which new companies are born as a proportion of existing ones is less than half that in America and Britain.
公司的总数正在大量减少,新公司的诞生率比英美的一半还少。
In 2012 the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, a survey by a group of universities, put Japan in joint9 last place out of 24 developed nations for levels of entrepreneurial activity.

Other Asians, in contrast, were bursting with optimism.
相反地,在其他亚洲地区新兴企业的发展很乐观。
That lack of ambition means venture-capital firms have few big payoffs to look forward to, with the result that there is a limited pool of cash available for those who do want to have a go at starting a business: a vicious circle that will be hard to break.
抱负心的缺乏使得风险投资公司很难下定决心去投资,从而使得那些确实想要经营一家企业的企业家缺少现金支持,这将会成为一个很难打破的恶性循环。

The outlook for creating new businesses could begin to improve if Mr Abe succeeds in leaning on the banks to stop demanding extensive debt guarantees.
如果安倍晋三成功的让银行不再要求借贷企业家提供大量的借贷凭证,创建新型公司的前景可能会有所发展。
Now many would-be entrepreneurs, faced with the risk of losing their homes, give up before they start.
现在,很多想要进入企业家行列的人由于会担有失去家的风险,所以他们在开始之前就放弃了。
In the short term the reform may make capital a little scarcer as banks tread cautiously.
在短期内,此项改革会使得银行放出更少的资金投资,因为银行的每一步都会走的很慎重。
But in the long run it could transform Japan's attitude to entrepreneurship, says Yoshito Hori, the founder of GLOBIS, a business school.
但是长期来看,这项改革将会改变日本人对企业家原有的态度,堀义人说道。堀义人,商业学校GLOBIS的创建人。
The industry ministry11 is promising12 to provide generous funding with the aim of doubling Japan's rate of business start-ups by 2020.
工业部门保证,他们会提供大量资金,让日本在2020年前实现新兴企业增长率变为两倍。
To do that it will have to add another 100,000 start-ups to the current annual tally13.
为了实现这个目标,必须在当前的基础上,每年再增加100,000个的新兴企业才可以。
However, its record on picking winners is not great:
然而,挑选赢家的报告却不是很好:
its bureaucrats14 famously tried to stop the young Sony importing transistor15 technology and Honda from moving into cars.
官员们已经烦透了去阻止索尼进口三极管科技和本田公司转向汽车行业。
So the risk is that it ends up backing many duds, draining the public coffers to little benefit.
所以这样做的风险是,会对很多已有的企业不利,所得的利润也微乎其微。
The mother-in-law factor
岳母的因素
There are other reasons to be optimistic.
当然也存在着乐观原因。
The success of the big firms born in Japan's great period of post-war entrepreneurialism later discouraged graduates from joining newer ventures.
大公司在日本战后鼎盛时期的成功诞生削弱了毕业生们加入这场商业冒险的想法。
Experienced managers are seldom keen to leave large companies.

Wives, mothers and mothers-in-law exert a strong influence on men not to join risky16 start-ups, says Yoshiaki Ishii, head of new-business policy at the industry ministry.

Mr Horie says he is financing his new ventures through crowdfunding networks such as Campfire.
堀江贵文说,他正在通过群众募资网站为他的企业筹资,例如: 萤火网站。
The government could help to remove plenty of other hurdles19 to entrepreneurship.
政府可以帮助去除很多阻碍企业家精神的障碍。
One difficulty for science and technology start-ups is that large Japanese firms have signed up exclusive rights for the bulk of university discoveries.
创业的科学技术难点之一就是日本的大公司会签约买下大量的大学研究成果。
Small, disruptive firms are not usually able to access and develop them. And a widespreadnot invented here mindset stops established firms joining up with small ones to commercialise new ideas.
这样子就会导致小公司无法很好的发展。一个广为流传的不要在这里起家的心态也使得公司不想要去和小公司合并。
As a result many recent ventures—such as DeNA and GREE, two social-gaming operators—have been internet and software businesses that depend less on research, notes Daisuke Iwase, a founder of Lifenet, an online insurance firm.
结果使得现在很多的企业—像DeNA和格力,两家社交类游戏经营公司—都经营着网络和软件这些不太依赖于调查的业务,一家网上保险公司救生网的创建人Daisuke Iwase阐述道。
There is too much talent chasing after smartphone apps and social gaming, he says.
继智能手机应用软件和社交类游戏之后,有太多类似的很棒的应用陆续出现,他说道。
So, some experts have recommended forcing large firms either to develop the discoveries to which they have the rights, or else to pass them on.
因此,一些专家建议,强制大公司继续买断大学研究成果,或者把研究成果转让。
Japan's entrepreneurs still feel vulnerable to sudden crackdowns, and fear they would be punished more harshly than big-business chiefs.
日本的企业家们因为这样的制裁而身心疲惫,他们害怕自己会受到比这些大公司领导更为严厉的惩罚。
Last year GREE unexpectedly found itself under investigation20 for possibly violating gambling21 laws.
去年,格力公司意外地发现自己可能由于违反赌博法律,而处于被监视状态。
Its young, billionaire founder, Yoshikazu Tanaka, has since tried to ingratiate himself with the establishment:
格力旗下年轻的亿万富翁田中良和试图让自己符合与公司制度:
he now appears in a suit, not a T-shirt.
现在,他在公司不穿体恤衫而改为西装了。
In all, much has to change before Japan becomes a kinder place for those trying to create businesses.
总而言之,在日本变得很适合创业者们生存之前,还有许多的改变需要去做。
There is a risk that Abenomics fails and brings about quite a different sort of rupture22 in the corporate23 climate, says Jeffrey Char24, an entrepreneur and investor25.
安倍经济复苏计划存在着失败的风险,这将会使得公司合作风气破裂,杰弗里查说道。杰弗里查是一位企业家,也是一位投资商。
If the central bank's radical monetary loosening is not followed by thorough deregulation and strong growth, the result could be a sovereign-debt crisis.
如果中央银行的货币放松政策没有彻底的实施和强有的巩固的话,可能会导致严重的主权债务危机。
In such a crisis many of Japan's biggest firms could collapse26, says Mr Char:
在这样一种危机下,很多日本的大公司都将会瓦解,杰弗里查说道:
that would leave people with no choice but to start their own businesses. Boosting entrepreneurship through reforms would certainly be less painful.
这将会使人们没得选择,只能创建新公司。通过改革而刺激企业家精神明显是一个更好的选择。
