难句译注

[结构简析]是not…but句型，两个破折号中间是插入成分；中插入一个带with+N+participle短语
[参考译文]保证金率从50%增长到70%，并不是想要遏制群众方面猖獗的投机，而是联邦储备委员会想要保持现存于股市强劲基础——事实上股市由于群众非常庄严的参与——在技术上看起来相当强劲。
2. Obviously,therecouldbenoguaranteethatthiswouldonceagainbethecase,butifhistoryisanyguideline—andifbusinessandcorporateearningsweretocontinueonthesamecourse—continuedoptimismovertheoutlookforthestockmarketwoulds
eemmoreprudentthanpessimism.
[结构简析]复合句。
中间有插入语ifclause,进一步说明条件。
[参考译文]显然，不可能保证这种情况再次出现（情况再是这样）。
可是，如果历史具有指导方针的话——如果商业和公司的利润仍然保持在同样轨道上——那么对股市前景乐观似乎要比悲观更精确些。
3. Themarginincreaseunderscoredthegoodrisethatstockshadenjoyedforthepreviousyear—andthefactthata50%ratewasmaintainedaslongasitwaspointedupthefactthattherisewasmainlyconservativeinthatitwasconcentratedinthebluechipsforthemostpart.
[结构简析]这句句子内有四个thatclause：
第一个that
是goodrise的定语从句。
第二个和第三个that都是thefactthat句型。
但第二个thefactthat中，aslongasitwas,指头一年，pointedup是谓语。
第四个是inthat连词，义：
因为。
写作方法与文章大意
文章论述“强劲证券市场”的种种情况。
首先是联邦储备委员会为保持强股市基础要求保证金率增长。
这种增长过去，现在，将来都能巩固强市。
其次由于绝大部分集中在兰筹股上，使股市看好上升趋于保守，引出行业股比普通股吃香。
最后是投资者心情和股市强弱有关。
答案祥解
1. B.强劲证券市场（强市）。
见难句译注1和第一段第三句：
“那种保证金率的增长有力的巩固了强劲证券市场。
从19……年起，这种增长导致一年来股市屡创新高。
A.买出股票的时候。
C.提高保证金率。
D.钢的市盈率。
这三项都不对，它们只是文中涉及的方面。
2. D.他寻找高业绩（即公司的产量或投资收益）。
见文章倒数第三句：
“当投资者——公众和团体机构——紧张而又悲观时，他们肯定在买进股票上举棋不定；他们寻求低价格/利润倍数和高额利润。
A.他们寻求联邦储备委员会的帮
助。
B.他们买进钢材。
C.他们买进汽车股票。
3. A. 因为在决定定价/利润比上难以分析。
见第二段第二句：
“在过去的投资保证上我们一直表达了这样的思想：
行业股票在使用上可能超过普通股。
我们依然相信情况可能就是这样。
举例说：
钢股往往在一定价格/利润比上抛出。
低于一定比率，可认为股是好价值，而高于一定比率就是超价。
如果一个公司就生产独一无二的产品，那市场分析就很难对公司所得定出数比。
“
B.因为股市活动受兰筹股所限。
C.因为行情上升保守。
这两项见难句译注3。
D.由于联邦储备基金会的行动。
4. A.他们寻求加速的增长。
见文章倒数第二句：
“同样是这些股民，当投资者（对股市前景）持乐观态度时，他们不太关注（公司的）业绩（产值）而愿意以高价来购买具有高成长性的股票。
”
