[00:42.84]把您講的一大堆內(nèi)容整理了一下， [00:44.67]I was still a bit confused. [00:45.56]發(fā)現(xiàn)還有一些弄不明白。 [00:46.45]S:Yes? What exactly bothered you? [00:47.93]斯：是些什么問(wèn)題呢? [00:49.42]Z:As you said the forward market of foreign exchange is very helpful for companies of foreign trade to avoid possible loss. [00:53.13]張：您說(shuō)過(guò)，期貨外匯交易可以使外貿(mào)公司避免一些可能的損失。 [00:56.84]S:Yes, that's true. [00:57.53]斯：是的。 [00:58.23]Z:But, how about... you see... [00:59.69]張：但，是怎樣來(lái)避免的呢?您想... [01:01.15]S:You can give me an example to illustrate your disagreement. [01:02.93]斯：你可以給我一個(gè)實(shí)例，來(lái)講清楚你的不同意見(jiàn)。 [01:04.71]Z:For instance, a German company knows that it will need an amount of US dollars in three weeks to pay for imports of facility from the United States of America. [01:11.03]張：比如說(shuō)，某一德國(guó)公司從美國(guó)進(jìn)口一批設(shè)備，需要在三周內(nèi)用美元支付。 [01:17.35]As you said, they can buy the dollars forward to reduce or eliminate the risk of an adverse movement in exchange rates between the Deutsch mark and the US dollar. [01:23.04]您說(shuō)過(guò)，這家公司可以作外匯期貨交易購(gòu)買(mǎi)美元，以降低甚至抵消德國(guó)馬克與美元之間匯率的不利變化而產(chǎn)生的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。 [01:28.74]But exchange rates are changing. [01:30.20]但是，匯率在不斷地波動(dòng)著。 [01:31.66]Maybe, there will be a favorable movement in exchange rates between Deutschmark and the US dollar. [01:34.75]也許，德國(guó)馬克與美元的匯率有可能產(chǎn)生有利的變化。 [01:37.83]Then, why can't the company wait for three weeks to buy the dollars at the spot rate? [01:40.28]那么為何該公司不可以等到三周后再來(lái)作即期交易購(gòu)買(mǎi)美元呢? [01:42.74]S:You are realy smart, Zhang Jun. Let me tell you, that's just the original idea of currency options. [01:46.61]斯：張軍，你的分析真是頭頭是道。我現(xiàn)在告訴你，那只是所謂外匯期權(quán)的本來(lái)意義， [01:50.47]Z:Currency options? I have never heard of this term. Would you please give me more detailed information about it? [01:54.13]張:外匯期權(quán)?這個(gè)名詞我從未聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò).您能否詳細(xì)地解釋一 [01:57.79]S:Sure. What I told you last Saturday is not wrong. [01:59.80]斯：好的。上周我告訴你的那些沒(méi)錯(cuò)的 [02:01.81]But let me give you a wider and more complete picture about foreign exchange. [02:04.40]現(xiàn)在我給你再講一些外匯交易方面的知識(shí)。 [02:06.98]More or less, foreign exchange dealing involves a calculated gamble on exchange rates. [02:10.13]外匯交易或多或少有點(diǎn)像對(duì)匯率來(lái)一次有意的賭博。 [02:13.28]Z:Why 'gamble'? [02:14.11]張：為什么您用“賭博”這個(gè)詞呢? [02:14.95]S:Isn't foreign exchange dealing like a gamble? As you described in your example, [02:17.65]斯：你說(shuō)，外匯交易像不像賭博?從你舉的例子來(lái)說(shuō)， [02:20.36]the German company may get a better exchange rate if it waits for three weeks to buy the dollars at the spot rate. [02:24.21]那個(gè)德國(guó)公司如果等到三周以后再即期購(gòu)買(mǎi)美元，匯率有可能對(duì)他們有利： [02:28.06]But things will also go against us. Three weeks later, the rate could be worse. [02:31.39]但也可能事與愿違，三周后的匯率也許變得很糟糕。 [02:34.72]So anyway, either course of action runs a risk. [02:36.79]因此，不管是前者，還是后者都承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。 [02:38.85]Z:But what are all these related to currency options? [02:40.74]張：但您以上所說(shuō)的一切與期權(quán)有什么關(guān)系呢? [02:42.64]S:Oh, don't lose your patience.Under the currency option,the customer pays a premium to the bank. [02:46.11]斯：你得沉住氣呀!想要取得期權(quán)，客戶得向銀行支付一筆保證金。 [02:49.59]Z:What advantages concerning foreign exchange can the customer enjoy? [02:51.94]張：那么客戶在外匯買(mǎi)賣(mài)時(shí)享有什么好處呢? [02:54.29]S:After the customer of the bank pays a premium, the bank send out confirmation of the deal. [02:57.72]斯：在客戶向銀行支付了一筆保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)或保證金以后，銀行就出具一份外匯期權(quán)交易的確認(rèn)書(shū)。
