聽力原文及翻譯

The rally in U.S. stocks faces an important test with earnings from chipmaking giant Nvidia NVDA.O, whose blistering run has powered markets throughout 2024. The S&P 500 .SPX has pared a sharp drop it suffered after U.S. economic worries contributed to a sell-off at the beginning of the month and again stands near a fresh all-time high.

美國股市的反彈面臨一個重要的考驗，芯片制造巨頭英偉達 (Nvidia) NVDA.O 的盈利，該公司強勁的業(yè)績?yōu)檎麄€ 2024 年的市場提供了動力。標準普爾 500 指數(shù) (SPX) 收復了本月初因美國經(jīng)濟擔憂導致拋售而遭受的大幅下跌，并再次接近歷史新高。

Nvidia, whose chips are widely seen as the gold standard in artificial intelligence, has been at the forefront of that rally, jumping by more than 30% since its recent lows. The stock is up some 150% year-to-date, accounting for around a quarter of the S&P 500’s 17% year-to-date gain.

英偉達的芯片被廣泛視為人工智能的黃金標準，該公司一直處于這波反彈的前沿，自近期低點以來已上漲超過 30%。該股今年迄今已上漲約 150%，約占標準普爾 500 指數(shù)今年迄今 17% 漲幅的四分之一。

The company’s Aug. 28 earnings report, coupled with guidance on whether it expects corporate investments in AI to continue, could be a key inflection point for market sentiment heading into what is historically a volatile time of the year. The S&P 500 has fallen in September by an average of 0.78% since World War Two, the worst performance of any month, according to CFRA data.

該公司 8 月 28 日的收益報告，加上其是否預計企業(yè)將繼續(xù)投資人工智能的指引，可能是市場情緒進入歷史上動蕩時期的關鍵轉折點。根據(jù) CFRA 的數(shù)據(jù)，自二戰(zhàn)以來，標準普爾 500 指數(shù) 9 月份平均下跌 0.78%，是所有月份中表現(xiàn)最差的。

"Nvidia is the zeitgeist stock today," said Mike Smith, a portfolio manager at Allspring Global Investments, which holds the company's shares in its portfolios. "You can think of their earnings four times a year as the Super Bowl."

Allspring Global Investments 的投資組合經(jīng)理邁克·史密斯 (Mike Smith) 表示：“Nvidia 是當今的時代精神股票?！盇llspring Global Investments 持有該公司的股票?！澳憧梢园阉麄円荒晁拇蔚氖找嫦胂蟪沙壨??！?/p>

Some investors are getting ready for fireworks. Traders are pricing in a swing of around 10.3% in Nvidia’s shares the day after the company reports earnings, according to data from options analytic firm ORATS. That's larger than the expected move ahead of any Nvidia report over the last three years and well above the stock's average post-earnings move of 8.1% over that same period, ORATS data showed.

一些投資者正在為煙花做準備。期權分析公司 ORATS 的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，交易員預計 Nvidia 公布收益后的第二天股價將波動約 10.3%。ORATS 數(shù)據(jù)顯示，這比過去三年 Nvidia 報告發(fā)布前的預期波動更大，也遠高于該股同期收益發(fā)布后 8.1% 的平均波動。

The results come at the end of an earnings season during which investors have taken a less forgiving view of big tech companies whose earnings failed to justify rich valuations or prodigious spending on AI. Examples include Microsoft MSFT.O, Tesla TSLA.O and Alphabet GOOGL.O, whose shares are all down since their July reports.

財報季即將結束之際，投資者對大型科技公司的看法并不寬容，這些公司的盈利無法證明其高估值或在人工智能方面投入巨額資金的合理性。微軟 MSFT.O、特斯拉 TSLA.O 和 Alphabet GOOGL.O 等公司自 7 月份公布財報以來股價均有所下跌。
