Talking about Stocks谈论股票
Daniel: What's a "bull market" and a "bear market"?
丹尼尔：什么是“牛市”和“熊市”？
Nicole: A bull market is a stock market in which the price of shares is going up and people are buying them. A bear market is a situation in which the value of stocks is decreasing and people are selling them.
尼科尔：牛市就是股价上涨、人们买进的股市。熊市就是股价下跌、人们卖出的股市。
Daniel: Why are there ups and downs in the stock market?
丹尼尔：股票市场为什么会有涨有跌呢？
Nicole: Generally, if there are quite a lot of buyers, the share prices will rise. Otherwise, they will fall.
尼科尔：一般来说，买的人多了，股价就上涨。否则，股价就会跌。
Daniel: How can we make money off the stock market?
丹尼尔：我们怎样才能从股市中赚钱呢？
Nicole: If you believe a stock price of a company will rise, you can either buy or hold it. If it does rise, you can sell your shares for a profit.
尼科尔：如果你相信一个公司的股价会上涨，你可以买进或持股不动。如果真的上涨了，你可以卖掉股票获利。
Daniel: It sounds easy to make money from stocks.
丹尼尔：听起来炒股赚钱好像很容易。
Nicole: Not at all. It's quite difficult at times to decide on which stock you should invest in. You'd have to consider market tendencies, the company's growth potential, and you'd better know something about technical analysis.
尼科尔：根本不是这么回事。要决定买哪一支股票有时相当困难。你要考虑市场走势、公司的发展潜力，而且最好还要懂点儿技术分析。
Daniel: That sounds a bit of risky. I might want to think twice before investing.
丹尼尔：听起来有点儿冒险。我投资股票之前还是应该好好考虑一下。
