But mr hatt had had enough .

但哈特当时已经受够了。

Yet it was only made possible by a pivotal decision mr hatt took several years earlier .

然而，正是由于哈特几年前做出的一项重大决定，它才成为可能。

With a career spent mainly in travel journalism , mr hatt 's knowledge of the industry proved useful , even if he was not a natural entrepreneur .

由于主要从事旅游报道工作，哈特对这一行业的知识派上了大用场，尽管他不是个天生的创业者。

What he found was an operation based in the attic of mr hatt 's house , where the founder had built up 3 00000 unique users a month and an annual turnover of 4 00000 .

当时摆在他面前的是位于哈特家阁楼里的一摊业务，在那里，这位创始人已经建立了每月30万人的单独用户（uniqueusers）规模，年营业额40万英镑。

These figures flashed through my mind when I picked up the newspaper on saturday and saw the headline : " he 's too hatt to handle " .

星期六，我拿到报纸，看到那标题，脑子里顿时就闪现出这些数字来。
