Talking about Stocks談論股票
Daniel: What's a "bull market" and a "bear market"?
丹尼爾：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.
尼科爾：牛市就是股價上漲、人們買進的股市。熊市就是股價下跌、人們賣出的股市。
Daniel: Why are there ups and downs in the stock market?
丹尼爾：股票市場為什么會有漲有跌呢？
Nicole: Generally, if there are quite a lot of buyers, the share prices will rise. Otherwise, they will fall.
尼科爾：一般來說，買的人多了，股價就上漲。否則，股價就會跌。
Daniel: How can we make money off the stock market?
丹尼爾：我們怎樣才能從股市中賺錢呢？
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.
尼科爾：如果你相信一個公司的股價會上漲，你可以買進或持股不動。如果真的上漲了，你可以賣掉股票獲利。
Daniel: It sounds easy to make money from stocks.
丹尼爾：聽起來炒股賺錢好像很容易。
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.
尼科爾：根本不是這么回事。要決定買哪一支股票有時相當困難。你要考慮市場走勢、公司的發展潛力，而且最好還要懂點兒技術分析。
Daniel: That sounds a bit of risky. I might want to think twice before investing.
丹尼爾：聽起來有點兒冒險。我投資股票之前還是應該好好考慮一下。
