股票大作手回憶錄原文第168段
原文(168):
It was not noon yet, and we walked up slowly to kill time and breathe the salt air. Harding Brothers had a branch office on the Boardwalk and we used to drop in every morning and see how they’d opened. It was more force of habit than anything else, for I wasn’t doing anything.
The market, we found, was strong and active. My friend, who was quitebullish, was carrying a moderate linepurchased several points lower. He began to tell me what an obviously wise thing it was to hold stocks for much higher prices. I wasn’t paying enough attention to him to take the trouble to agree with him. I was looking over the quotation board,noting the changes-they were mostly advances-until I came to UnionPacific. I got a feeling that I ought to sell it.I can’t tell you more. I just felt like selling it. I asked myself why I should feel like that, and I couldn’t find any reason whatever for going short of UP.
其他版本譯文(168):
還沒到中午,我緩步走在街上,呼吸著咸咸的空氣,百無聊賴地消磨著時間。在這里,有個哈丁兄弟公司的分部,我們每天早上都要順道去看看開盤情況,這成了無聊之人的習慣。
這次我們發現股市行情很好,交易也很活躍,朋友非常看好此時的市場,他手里有一些在股價很低時買進的股票。他對我說,持股等著價格上漲真是明智的做法。我對他的話并沒有太在意,也不屑于與他討論。我看了看報價板,發現大多數股票都已經上漲,然后看到太平洋鐵路公司的股票,我覺得此時應該把它賣掉,也不知道為什么這么想,反正就有這樣的感覺。我自問原因,可就是無法回答。
我的譯文(168):
還未到中午,為了消磨時光,我倆一邊漫步,一邊呼吸著海邊咸濕的空氣。
在海濱木板步道旁,有一家Harding Brothers公司的分支營業部。每天早上,我們都要習慣性的拐進去,看看他們是如何開張的?盡管我不打算做什么,但這已經成了我最為頑固的習慣。
我倆發現,市場很強,很活躍。我朋友是死多頭,他的持倉均價比現價低了幾個點,他開始感嘆自己持股待漲的選擇是多么明智,而我則無暇顧及他的反應,也沒工夫去附和他,我正遍歷著報價板,觀察股價的變化,大多數股票都在上漲,但當我看到UnionPacific時,我產生了一種感覺,我應該做空它,我不知道該怎么形容這種感覺,我就是想要放空它,我捫心自問,我為啥要這么想呢?可無論如何,我還是找不到任何理由,我為啥非要放空UnionPacific這只股票呢?
