vocab build

It's not like I'm into finance, but some financial phrases can be transferred as metaphors in general situations (and vice-versa).



杀跌

*  炒股中有一个说法叫  杀跌 

* 所谓追涨杀跌就是看见一只票现在正在涨就拼命地追着买进来(希望能继续涨)这叫追涨.看见这只票一路下跌厉害就赶快将手中的票卖出(希望能亏少点),这叫杀跌。不追涨杀跌就是不要像上面说得那样做!

* 赚了钱卖出就不叫杀跌，应叫出货。亏了钱卖出才叫杀跌。


酣畅淋漓  

* 用 法 补充式；作状语、补语；含褒义，形容非常舒畅和痛快

奇妙的市场走的非常得酣畅淋漓/

斗转星移  

* 指季节或者时间的变化

于是整个市场在斗转星移，翻手为云


翻手为云 

* 翻手为云、覆手为雨
* 形容人反复无常或惯于玩弄权术

失败是成功之母!!

失败是成功之母


This  text is kind of ridiculous in english but it's a good translation exercise.

Here are some clues  :
1. It's actually not a difficult text. In Chinese, "vitality", and "timerelated" are structured in the same suffix-prefix way as in english : 生命力. Time related 时间性
2. Useful vocab : 大可不必 - pointless (use it as a predicate = 谓语)
3. Don't separate the adj-noun constructions in chinese as you would in english for "morning and evening editions". In Chinese there are specific terms for each one : 日刊　晚报


"Since reading a newspaper is directly related to the aim of understanding information, we should know that current events are the main content of the newspaper. Without this premise, there would be no point in reading a paper. The vitality of a newspaper resides in the speed of its reaction to current news events. The most distinguishing feature of newspaper reports is time related, in a word : fast. News in a newspaper change every day, every day it is updated; there are even papers that have morning and evening editions, the morning edition is finalised at midnight, the evening edition is however published to print ahead of time the latest news and events that occurred following the finalization of the morning edition of that day."
