金融英语翻译资料
1.Dow Jones Industrial Average up 123.72 points.道琼工业指数上涨 123.72 点.股价的涨跌最简单的说法就是 up 和 down, 这两个字可以当形容词(be 动词+ up)或是动词(up 前不加 be 动词)来用, 例如 Microsoft 股票涨了一又四分之三块, 老美就会说 “Microsoft up 1 and third fourths.”(动词)或是 “Microsoft was up one and third fourths.”(形容词)不过一般而言, up 和 down 当动词的用法较常见.2.High techs are mixed and Intel is unchanged.高科技类股涨跌互见, 英代尔股价持平.股票除了涨和跌之外, 还有二种情况, 一种就是有些涨有些跌, 这在英文里叫 mixed, 中文翻成涨跌互见, 至于如果是平盘, 英文叫 unchanged.(简写 unch, 常在电视上看到)另外还有一种说法 flat, 指的则是股价在平盘附近差价不大, 例如 ADI 的股票昨天收盘是 78, 今天一早涨了 1/16, 那这种情形你就可以说 ADI was flat in the morning.3.The NASDAQ is trading higher in the record region.那斯达克指数上涨, 来到历史新高区.涨和跌除了最简单的 up 和 down 之外, 还有很多讲法, 像 higher 跟 lower 这两个字 CNBC 的主播也很喜欢用.例如今天一开盘就道琼指数上涨 主播就会说, “The stock opened higher.”, 如果是收盘时下跌则是 “The stock ended lower.” 另外他们也很喜欢用 be trading higher(lower)或 be moving higher(lower)来表示个股的股价逐步走扬或是逐步走低.例如例句: “The NASDAQ is trading higher.” 指的就是那斯达克指数逐步走高, 像这种句子去年的大多头行情中简直是听到都不想听了.4.S&P 500 index gained 18.21 last week.史坦普 500 指数上周上涨了 18.21 点.在 CNBC 报导股市的涨跌时, 为了力求变化性, 他们会用到许多不同的动词来形容涨跌, 关于涨的动词, 最常用的有像 advance, gain, climb, 或是 rise, 如果是涨幅较大时, 则可以用 surge, soar 或是 jump, 但基本上这几个动词的意思都差不多, 但让你多了几种选择, 在使用上可以避免同一个动词用二次.例如你可以说 “Citibank climbed 1% in the morning and Bank of America jumped 3% in the morning.”(在早上花旗银行的股价攀升了百分之一, 而美国银行跳升了百分之三.)
5.Russell 2000 shed 10 points to 321 points.罗素 2000 小型股指数跌 10 至 321 点.相对于上涨, 下跌也有许多的动词, 例如 shed 就是个不错的用法, 这个字在日常生活中常指动物掉毛的意思, 例如, “The dog doesn't shed.”(这只狗不会掉毛)用在股市则指股票的下跌.我听老美常用关于下跌的动词还有 slip, fall, decline, drop, lose, 及 dip.另外如果是较大的跌幅, 则用 sink, 刚好跟 jump 遥相呼应,此外 plunge 和 plummet 也指较大的跌幅, 例如 Microstralegy 股价原来是三百多块的, 他的 stock option(股价选择权)价值高达上百万, 没想到几天之间股票居然从三百多块掉到六十几块, 这种情形造个句子就是,“Microstralegy plunged 200 dollars a share in a few days.”(Microstralegy 股价在几天内跌掉 200 多块.)
6.The B2B stock price of skyrocketed last year.去年企业对企业电子商务(B2B)的个股股价一飞冲天.在台湾的股民们喜欢把大涨的股票叫飙股, 可惜老美没有飙车族, 所以他们很没有飙这个动词, 他们只会用一飞冲天(skyrocket)来形容.还有我听过 CNBC 的主播用过 pop up like popcorn 这样的说法, 也是非常有趣, 想像股价像爆米花时玉米熟了啪的一声就跳得半天高, 这就是所谓的 “The stock price pops up like popcorn.”
7.Biotech stocks are really on fire today.生物科技类股今天表现非常强势.Something is on fire 或是 Someone is on fire 都是老美口语上很喜欢用的讲法, 指的是某件事锐不可挡或是指某人很厉害, 例如你今天去打棒球一共打出了三支全垒打, 那老美就会称赞你说, “You are really on fire today!” 同样的道理, 你说某支股票著火了(on fire), 指的就是它气势锐不可挡, 可能一天之内股价就涨了 50%.我还听过一个同样很有趣的说法, CNBC 的主播说, “The stock is riding a horse on fire.”(这支股票骑在一匹著了火的马上.)言下之意呢? 当然也是指这支股票实在太会飙了.8.IBM lose ground and dip into red again.IBM 的股价失守, 再度探底.中国人喜欢红色, 所以股价上涨是用红色, 下跌用绿色来表示.但美国人不一样, 红色代表赤字, 表示亏损, 所以股价用红色显示就表示股价下跌, 用黑色或绿色则表示上涨.所以 dip into red 的意思在这里就很明显了.所谓的 ground 指的是一支股票的支撑, 或是可以当作今天股票涨或跌的分界, 老美常用的两个用法分别是 lose ground, 指股价失守, 和 gain ground 指股价持稳, 例如, “Tokyo stocks gained ground after the selloff on Friday.”(日本东京股市在星期五的卖压之后今天重新站稳底线.)
9.Blue chips slumped another 5% after Greenspan's speech.在葛林斯潘的演说之后, 大型蓝筹股的股价再度重跌 2%.还记得在台湾总统大选的前几天吗? 台湾股市一天之内跌掉六百多点, 像这种崩盘式的下跌, 你不能只用 slide 或是 drop 来形容, 这样子别人是体会不出那种感觉的.比较恰当的动词应该是 slump 或是 tumble, 不然之前所举的二
个动词 plunge 和 plummet 也可以.还有我听过比较传神的讲法则是 “The stock price is falling like a free fall.”(股价像自由落体一般坠下.)自由落体坠下的速度有多快, 股市下跌的速度就有那么快, 恐怖吧!
10.Internet stocks got hammered on the early day trading.在早盘交易中, 网路股的股价受创.Hammer 原意是槌子, got hammered 就是指被槌子打到, 这个片语在日常生活中也很常用, 指一个人备受打击.例如你老婆跟人跑了, 你就可以跟别人说, “I got hammered.” 用在股票上则指股价遭受外来消息面的打击, 例如联邦理事会(Federal Reserve)准备要调高利率, 造成股票普遍受挫, 这时候就可以说, “The stock got hammered by the Federal Reserve”.另外 got hit 这个片语指被打到, 它和 got hammered 意思很接近, 例如 “UPS got hit by its bad earning report.”(由于盈馀报告不理想, UPS 的股价遭到打击.)
11.Investors are expecting a roller coaster ride on IPO stocks.投资者预见首次公开发行的股票股价将会大幅波动.股价没有只涨不跌的, 美国五年的大多头行情在最近面临了严苛的考验, 在 4/4 那一天, NASDAQ 指数则一度重挫 575 点, 而道琼工业指数也一度大跌 500 多点, 但万万没想到来了一个大反弹, 在尾盘时二个指数居然都只以小跌收场, 实在是太不可思议了, 像这样的上冲下洗, 是否有如乘坐云霄飞车一般? 所以这在英文中就叫 roller coaster ride, 或是 bumpy ride.如果单用一个形容词来形容, 则可以用 volatile, 同样指非常不稳定的, 波动非常大的.例如, “High techs are extremely volatile recently.”(近来科技类股波动非常剧烈.)
12.Cisco rallied before close.在收盘前 Cisco 的股价力图振作.Rally 是一个常用在运动比赛上的动词, 指的是后来居上.或是力图振作.用在股票上则指一开始跌后来却上涨, 这在股市中叫反弹(rebound)或 rally.至于如果是相反的趋势由涨到跌则是拉回(pull back), 例如 “After the short rebound in 10a.m.the market starts to pull back again.”(从早上十点的反弹之后, 股市再度拉回.)

6.巴塞尔核心原则规定了有效监管体系应遵循的二十五条原则5[5]。

原则2 – 许可的业务范围:必须明确界定已获得执照并接受监管的各类机构可从事的业务范围,严格控制“银行”一词的使用。
原则3 –发照标准:发照机关必须有权制定发照标准,有权拒绝一切不符合标准的申请。发照程序至少应包括审查银行的所有权结构和银行治理情况、董事会成员和高级管理层的资格、银行的战略和经营计划、内部控制和风险管理,以及包括资本金规模在内的预计财务状况;当报批银行的所有者或母公司为外国银行时,应事先获得其母国监管当局的同意。
原则4 –大笔所有权转让:银行监管当局要有权审查和拒绝银行向其他方面直接或间接转让大笔所有权或控制权的申请。
原则 5 – 重大收购:银行监管当局有权根据制定的标准审查银行大笔的收购或投资,其中包括跨境设立机构,确保其附属机构或组织结构不会带来过高的风险或阻碍有效监管。
原则 6 – 资本充足率:银行监管当局必须制定反映银行多种风险的审慎且合适的最低资本充足率规定。至少对于国际活跃银行而言,资本充足率的规定不应低于巴塞尔的相关要求。
原则 7 –风险管理程序 :银行监管当局必须满意地看到,银行和银行集团建立了与其规模及复杂程度相匹配的综合的风险管理程序(包括董事和高级管理层的监督),以识别、评价、监测、控制或缓解各项重大的风险,并根据自身风险的大小评估总体的资本充足率。
原则 8 – 信用风险:银行监管当局必须满意地看到,银行具备一整套管理信用风险的程序;该程序要考虑到银行的风险状况,涵盖识别、计量、监测和控制信用风险(包括交易对手风险)的审慎政策与程序。

损益表:显示收入和一个特定的时间内对公司的开支。简答:
1)What do you understand by “open account business”? In an open account trade arrangement, the goods are shipped to a buyer without guarantee of payment.Quite often, the buyer does not pay the agreed time.Unless the buyer‟s
integrity is unquestionable, this trade arrangement is risky to the seller.1)你是怎样理解的“开户业务”?
在一个开放的帐户贸易安排,将货物运到买方不付款的保证。很多时候,买方不支付约定的时间。除非买方的诚信是不容置疑的,这种贸易安排是有风险的卖方。2)Benefits and costs of FDI 1 Host-country benefits
The main benefits of inward FDI for a host country arise from resource-transfer effects, employment effects, and balance-of-payments effects.Host-country costs
These costs of FDI concern host countries.They arise from possible adverse effects on competition within the host nation, adverse effects on the balance of payments, and the perceived loss of national sovereignty and autonomy.Home-country benefits
The benefits of FDI to the home country arise from three sources.First, the home country‟s balance of payments benefits from the inward flow of foreign earnings.Second, benefits to the home country from outward FDI arise from employment effects.As with the balance of payments, positive employment effects arise when the foreign subsidiary creates demand for home-country exports.Third, benefits arise when the home-country MNE learns valuable skills from its exposure to foreign markets that can subsequently be transferred back to the home country.This amounts to a reverse resource-transfer effect.Home-country costs
Against these benefits must be set the apparent costs of FDI for the home country.The most important concerns center on the balance-of-payments and employment effects of outward FDI.First, the balance of payments suffers from the initial capital outflow required to finance the FDI.Second, the current account of the balance of payments suffers if the purpose of the foreign investment is to serve the home market from a low-cost
production location.Third, the current account of the balance of payments suffers if the FDI is a substitute for direct exports.2)外国直接投资的成本效益与
1东道国福利

第三,福利问题时的母国从跨国公司学习,可以接触到后来调回本国国外市场有用的技能。这相当于一个反向资源转移效应。4母国成本
针对这些好处必须为本国的外国直接投资明显成本。最重要的关注中心,在平衡国际收支和对外直接投资的就业效应。首先,国际收支患有初始资本所需的经费外国直接投资流出。第二,国际收支经常账户遭受如果外国投资的目的是为从低生产成本在国内市场的位置。第三,国际收支经常账户遭受如果外国直接投资是直接出口的替代品。3)The structure and main items of balance sheet 1.Assets: In business and accounting, assets are everything owned by a person or company that can be converted into cash.Includes Current assets and Long-term assets.The current assets include cash, Cash equivalents, Account receivable, Inventory.The long-term assets include tangible and intangible 2.Liabilities: Liabilities are financial debts of a company to their outside clients.Includes Current liabilities and Long-term liabilities.3.Owners‟ equity: In business and accounting, after all liabilities are paid, ownership equity is the remaining interest in assets.Includes Capital and Retained earning and Net worth.3)结构和资产负债表主要项目

2.Another commonly used is the USD amount can be exchanged for one unit of a foreign currency E.g.CND/USD = 0.6700
3.The cross rate expresses the relative values between the two currencies E.g.DEM/SFR = 0.7000 4)不同的方法来表达一种汇率
1。最常用的方法将表达的外国货币金额购买一美元
例如美元/来电显示= 1.4300
2。另一种常用的金额为美元可以兑换外币的一个单位
例如来电显示/美元= 0.6700
3。交叉汇率表示的两种货币之间的相对值
例如数字高程模型/ SFR的= 0.7000
5)The difference between a documentary collection and a clean collection 1.Clean Draft
In a clean draft, no shipping documents are attached to the draft sent to the remitting bank.The documents are sent together with the goods, directly to the buyer.Therefore, unless the credibility of the buyer is unquestionable, using a clean draft in the shipment of goods is risky.The clean draft is more often drawn for the collection of payment for the services, not the goods.2.Documentary Draft
In a documentary draft, the shipping documents are attached to the draft sent to the remitting bank.The buyer will be able to receive the shipping documents from the collecting bank only after he/she has accepted the draft for payment later or after he/she has paid the draft.5)跟单托收的区别和光票托收
1。价款
在一个干净的草案中,没有运输文件连接到发送到汇款银行汇票。这些文件是一起发送的货物,直接向买家。因此,除非买方的信誉毋庸置疑的,使用在货物装运的价款是危险的。该草案更多的是干净的抽签,有关服务,而不是货款的集合。
2。单汇票
在单汇票,运输单据附在发送到汇款银行汇票。买方将能够接收后,才他/她接受的付款后或草案后,他/她付出了草案从代收行的装运单据
6).The advantage of a documentary collection to the exporter

The United States raises the probability of raising interest rates to 4 times during the year
美国白宫21日向国会提交了特朗普政府第一份总统经济报告,报告预计今年美国经济增速将升至3.1%。与此同时,美联储和官员对经济前景和通胀乐观情绪也在增加,经济前景利好令越来越多的市场人士预计美国年内加息增至4次的可能性增加。
由于人口老龄化以及劳动生产率提升缓慢,美联储预计美国潜在经济增长率为1.8%。美国《华尔街日报》今年1月初对经济学家的调查也显示,虽然2018年美国经济增速可能进一步加快至2.7%,但2019年和2020年增速预计将逐步回落至2.2%和2%。这意味着特朗普的经济政策很难改变金融危机以来美国经济2%左右的温和增长趋势。

外媒称,在中国政府支持下,海南旅游吸引力的日渐增强使其成为中国深化全方位改革开放政策的新窗口。海南将成为环境友好型经济特区,逐步成为国际旅游消费中心,并将建设自由贸易试验区和中国特色自由贸易港。
报道称,海南自由贸易港将对标世界最高开放水平,繁荣程度很可能将超越国际公认较为成功的自由贸易港新加坡、迪拜和中国香港。报道还称,这是体现中国未来发展战略的重要决策,因为中国需要改变发展模式,在人民生活水平不断提高的背景下实现均衡高质量的发展。
在出口、工业和投资起着决定性作用多年后,中国正处于更重视国内消费、服务和技术创新的再平衡的过程中。报道还指出,政府选择海南作为开放的新窗口是因为它是改革开放40年的一个重要见证。
Foreign media said that with the support of the Chinese government, the increasing attraction of Hainan's tourism has made it a new window for China to deepen its all-round reform and opening up policy.Hainan will become an environmentally friendly special economic zone and gradually become an international tourism consumption center.It will also establish a free trade pilot zone and a free trade port with Chinese characteristics.According to the report, Hainan Free Trade Port will be the highest level of openness in the world, and the degree of prosperity will likely surpass internationally recognized and successful free trade ports Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong.The report also stated that this is an important decision that reflects China’s future development strategy, because China needs to change its development model and achieve balanced and high-quality development in the context of the continuous improvement of people’s living standards.After years of decisive role in exports, industry, and investment, China is in the process of paying more attention to the rebalancing of domestic consumption, services, and technological innovation.The report also pointed out that the government chose Hainan as a new open window because it is an important testimony to the 40 years of reform and opening up.7.美宣布退出伊核协议,联合国秘书长回应:深感忧虑
The United States announces its withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement.The UN Secretary General responds: Deeply worried
联合国秘书长古特雷斯8日通过发言人发表声明,称对美国当天宣布将退出《联合全面行动计划》(JCPOA,即伊核协议)并重启对伊朗制裁“深感忧虑”。
美国总统特朗普当天下午在白宫宣布,美国将退出伊核协议并将重新对伊朗实施最严厉的经济制裁。他声称该协议缺乏遏制伊朗发展核武器及洲际弹道导弹的有效机制。近期,英国、法国、德国领导人曾分别与特朗普进行沟通,劝阻其退出伊核协议。
古特雷斯在声明中说,自己一直反复申明,伊核协议是核不扩散和外交方面的一项重大成就,并为区域和国际和平与安全作出了贡献。古特雷斯在声明中呼吁伊核协议的其他缔约方充分遵守各自根据协议作出的承诺,呼吁联合国所有其他会员国支持伊核协议。
日前,英、法、德三国及中国、俄罗斯分别发表联合声明,重申对伊核协议的支持。伊朗总统鲁哈尼在8日宣布,伊朗将暂时留在伊核协议中。

大学招生:在社交媒体上展示你最好的一面
Social media has found its way into almost every part of everyday life.It has even affected college and university admissions.Many colleges and universities in the United States are now using social media to share information with applicants.Applicants' social media posts are affecting admissions decisions
This year, the test preparation company Kaplan released a study on how admissions officials view applicants' social media presence.Almost 400 admissions officials were questioned.About 70 percent said it was fair for them to consider an applicant's social media messages and pictures when making their decisions.Admissions officials do not always get a full picture of the kind of person an applicant is from the traditional application materials.Therefore, many officials view social media as a way of learning more about what an applicant is like beyond just their abilities in the classroom.“If a 20-year-old is reading what you're posting, and a 40-year-old is reading what you're posting, and a 60-year-old is reading what you're posting, and they don't find it offensive, then it's probably...good,” he said.社交媒体几乎渗透到日常生活的方方面面。它甚至影响了学院和大学的招生。美国许多学院和大学现在都在使用社交媒体与申请者分享信息。申请人在社交媒体上发布的信息正在影响录取决定
今年,备考公司Kaplan发布了一份关于招生官员如何看待申请者社交媒体的研究报告。近400名招生官员参与了此次研究。约70%的人表示,在做出决定时考虑应聘者的社交媒体信息和照片是公平的。
招生官员并不总是能从传统的申请材料中全面了解申请人是什么样的人。因此,许多官员将社交媒体视为一种了解申请者的方式,而不仅仅是了解他们在课堂上的能力。
“如果一个20岁的人在看你写的东西,一个40岁的人在看你写的东西,一个60岁的人在看你写的东西,他们不会觉得这是冒犯,那么这很可能……”好,”他说。
Smartphone Use May Lead to Addiction, Loneliness, Depression
使用智能手机可能会导致上瘾、孤独、抑郁
Nearly 2.4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017.By the end of 2018, more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone.However, smartphone technology can be a double-edged sword.On the one hand, it sends us unlimited amounts of information.We don't have to wait.Our devices ring, ping, vibrate and light up with the latest news from family, friends and around the world.On the other hand, this immediate access to information may become an addiction.And it may make some people feel lonely, anxious and depressed.The researchers warn that workers in the technology industry know how to manipulate our brains and turn us into addicts.They say that we can train our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers.They suggest turning off push notifications and other such alerts on our phones.These instant announcements excite the same pathways in our brains that once warned us of dangers in our environment.But instead of warning us of a large predator looking for dinner, we are alerted to a sale on shoes or the fact that a friend from high school is eating a hamburger in Las Vegas.More often than not, our devices share unimportant information as if our lives depended on it.Our brains see the notices the same way.And that is a problem.So, just turn them off.The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer a text or email.You do not need to answer them all.And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them.2017年,全球有近24亿人使用智能手机。到2018年底,全球超过三分之一的人口将使用智能手机。
然而,智能手机技术可能是一把双刃剑。
一方面,它给我们提供了无限的信息。我们不必等待。我们的设备响着、响着、震动着、点亮着来自家人、朋友和世界各地的最新消息。
另一方面,这种即时获取信息的方式可能会让人上瘾。这可能会让一些人感到孤独、焦虑和沮丧。
研究人员警告说,科技行业的工人知道如何操纵我们的大脑,把我们变成瘾君子。他们说我们可以训练我们的大脑少沉迷于手机和电脑。他们建议关掉手机上的推送通知和其他类似的提醒。这些即时的公告在我们的大脑中激起了同样的反应,就像曾经警告过我们环境中的危险一样。但是,我们并没有被警告说有一个大型食肉动物在找晚餐,而是被提醒说有一个卖鞋的大减价,或者一个高中的朋友正在拉斯维加斯吃汉堡。
通常情况下,我们的设备共享不重要的信息,就好像我们的生活依赖于它一样。我们的大脑以同样的方式看待这些注意。这是一个问题。把它们关掉。研究人员还建议控制你何时何地回复短信或电子邮件。你不需要全部回答。你当然不需要一拿到答案就回答。
The Iranian People Deserve Better 伊朗人民理应得到更好的待遇
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has made clear that new and severe economic sanctions will be imposed on the Iranian regime until it makes a fundamental strategic decision to end its support for terrorism;its aggression in the Middle East;its proliferation of ballistic missiles;its pursuit of nuclear weapons capability, and other malign behaviors.But in outlining the United States' new strategy for Iran after the U.S.withdrawal from the nuclear deal, Secretary Pompeo drew a sharp distinction between the regime and the Iranian people.He deplored the fact that flush with cash and economic relief from the deal, the regime for three years did nothing to relieve the economic hardships of ordinary Iranians;instead it spent vast sums to fuel its march of destruction across the region.He declared that in exchange for the major changes the United States has called for in Tehran's policies, the U.S.is prepared to take actions which will help the Iranian people: “Now is the time for the supreme leader and the Iranian regime to summon the courage to do something historically beneficial for [their] own people, for this ancient and proud nation.As for the United States,” he said, “our eyes are clear as to the nature of this regime, but our ears are open to what may be possible...We are looking for outcomes that benefit the Iranian people, not just the regime.”
国务卿迈克·庞培已经明确表示,将对伊朗政权实施新的和严厉的经济制裁,直到它作出根本的战略决定,停止对恐怖主义的支持;它在中东的侵略;其弹道导弹的扩散;其追求核武器能力等恶性行为。
但是,在美国退出核协议后,美国对伊朗的新战略进行了概述,Pompeo国务卿对该政权和伊朗人民进行了明确区分。
他对这笔交易的现金和经济救济感到遗憾,三年的政权并没有缓解普通伊朗人的经济困难;相反,它花费了大量资金来推动整个地区的毁灭进程。
他宣称,为了换取美国在德黑兰政策中所要求的重大变化,美国准备采取行动帮助伊朗人民:“现在是最高领导人和伊朗政权鼓足勇气的时候了为自己的人民,为这个古老而自豪的国家做一些历史上有益的事情。至于美国,“他说,”我们的眼睛对这个政权的性质很清楚,但我们的耳朵是可以接受的......我们正在寻找有益于伊朗人民的结果,而不仅仅是政权。”
