You probably have heard of comic book heroes like Superman, Batman and Spiderman. Butwhat about Tom the motorcycle shop owner, Joe Knight and Karen Berman?
你可能已經聽說過超人、蝙蝠俠和蜘蛛俠等漫畫上的英雄人物。但聽說過摩托車店老闆湯姆，以及喬·奈特和卡倫·伯曼嗎?
Tom, Joe and Karen all appear in a comic book called "Financial Intelligence." But Mr. Knightand Ms. Berman are real people. In two thousand six, they wrote a book called "FinancialIntelligence: A Manager's Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean." It was written forpeople who need to learn quickly about accounting. The book explains, in simple ways, often-complex methods of keeping financial information. It became a best-seller.
湯姆、喬·奈特和卡倫·伯曼全都是一本名爲《財務智慧》的漫畫上的人物。但奈特先生以及伯曼女士是生活中實際存在的人物。2006年，他們寫了一本名爲《財務智慧：如何理解數字的真正含義》 的書。這本書是爲那些必須快速瞭解財務的人準備的，它通俗易懂地解釋了通常非常複雜的管理財務信息的方式，也因此成爲了一本暢銷書。
This month, publisher SmarterComics released a comic book that provides the sameinformation in easy-to-understand, picture form. The new book is a combination of atextbook and a graphic novel.

Joe Knight and Karen Berman help him. Artist DaveWachter made illustrations for the comic book.
本月，出版商SmarterComics發行了一本漫畫書，用易於理解的圖片形式把相同的信息展示了出來。這本新書是教科書和連環畫的結合體，它講述了一個名爲湯姆，需要快速學會如何掌管父親創辦的摩托車修理店的技工的故事。湯姆完全沒有財務經驗，正對此疲於應對。奈特和伯曼幫助了他。畫家戴夫·瓦赫特(DaveWachter)爲這本連環畫繪製了插圖。

佛朗哥·阿爾達是SmarterComics出版社的創始人兼負責人。他曾幹過投資銀行家。差不多三年前，他用自己的資金開辦了這家公司。他希望創作出能夠增進理解的教育類漫畫。
FRANCO ARDA: "I think almost everybody understands the phrase that "a picture says athousand words," so, I mean, mentally, probably ninety percent of us grew up with comics andthey understand that comics or illustrations help learning a concept much quicker than justtext alone."
阿爾達：“我認爲幾乎每個人都明白這句格言，‘一圖勝千言’。所以我的意思是說，可能我們中90%的人是漫畫陪着長大的。和單純文字相比，我們能更快地領會這些幫助理解概念的漫畫或插圖。”
Franco Arda says "Financial Intelligence" will help readers quickly understand many of themajor areas of accounting.

阿爾達：“不到一個小時，你就能很快理解財務的概念，而且還不至於無聊。你看懂了這些插圖，就理解了財務的基本知識，就理解了資產負債表和現金流量表。”
