It has been three years since Hofmueller took over the bread shop from Brutzer and his wife, who returned to Germany because they missed their hometown.Hofmueller says he made a good decision. Bach's Bakery, located in Changsha, is popular among the locals for giving the hearing-impaired（听力障碍者）chance to work.
Hofmueller spends a lot of time in the shop. He always puts the bakery's workers first. "I'm happiest when I see them grow in the job, " he says. "They learn more skills and knowledge and keep improving, which I value the most.". Hofmueller wants them to use the skills to support their families or even have a business in the future.
Wang Ting has worked there for seven years and says that the job helped her improve her baking and management skills. She is also Hofmueller's sign language teacher, helping him to better communicate with other workers.
Hofmueller thinks that attention to detail（细节）is what makes the workers here special.

Hofimueller在店里花费了大量时间。他总是把面包店的员工放在首位。他说：“当看到他们在工作中成长时，我感到最幸福。他们学到了更多的技能和知识，并不断进步，这是我最看重的。”Hofimueller希望他们能利用这些技能来养家，甚至在未来拥有自己的生意。
王婷在那里工作了七年，她说这份工作帮助她提高了烘焙和管理技能。她也是Hofimueller的手语老师，帮助他更好地与其他员工沟通。
Hofimueller认为，注重细节是这里的员工们与众不同的地方。他说：“因为他们听不到，所以他们会更加关注他们所看到的东西，尤其是那些别人常常忽略的细节。这种对细节的关注很重要，因为面包的质量可以通过其外观来判断。”
长沙的许多人都支持这家店铺。Hofimueller常开玩笑说，长沙的市民和他一起经营着这家店铺。当Hofimueller发帖询问应去哪里购买烤箱时，他收到了许多建议。去年，他发帖提到一名员工生病后，当地的医生们给出了治疗建议。
Hofimueller说：“这家店铺旨在帮助和培训更多的人，不仅仅是听障人士。Hofimueller说：“我想继续进行更专业的培训。也许我会与职业学校合作，这样我的员工就能和其他学生一起学习烘焙技能了。”

长难句分析
原句：（第一段第一句）It has been three years sinceHofmueller took over the bread shop from Brutzer and his wife, who returned to Germany because they missed their hometown.
译文：自 Hofmueller从Brutzer夫妇手中接管这家面包店以来，已经过去了三年，Brutzer夫妇因为想念家乡回到了德国。
分析：本句是一个复合句。since Hofmueller took over...their hometown是since引导的时间状语从句。在该从句中，who引导非限制性定语从句，对Brutzer and his wife进行补充说明；because引导原因状语从句。
