由于擔(dān)心出現(xiàn)最糟糕情況（即很多人錯(cuò)誤地認(rèn)為將會(huì)是一場(chǎng)曠日持久的沖突），

交易商哄抬油價(jià)，每桶油價(jià)又加了5美元的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)溢價(jià)jackup:toliftorpushwithajack用千斤頂抬起，本句中是一種隱喻用法，意思是交易商趁機(jī)猛抬油價(jià)。

warpremium:theadditionalvalueabovetheparbecauseofwar.Inthistext,itreferstothefivedollarsaddedtotheoriginallyexistingvalueofoilpriceforperbarrelduetotheimminentwar.可以譯為“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)溢價(jià)”，即迫在眉睫的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)使石油在原有價(jià)格的基礎(chǔ)上漲的那一部分，即每桶增加的那5美元。Premium:valueabovethepar,在經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)中指超出票面價(jià)值的那一部分。相關(guān)的詞匯有discount指貼水，par指平價(jià)。下文中有wardiscount，可譯為“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)貼水”，即戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)使經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)低于預(yù)期。文章把戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)與經(jīng)濟(jì)聯(lián)系起來(lái)，用經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)術(shù)語(yǔ)來(lái)評(píng)論戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，顯示了作者的獨(dú)具匠心。NotestoTextA7.fleeingriskystockmarketsforsaferhavens,likegold：逃離兇險(xiǎn)莫測(cè)的股市，尋求更

安全投資避風(fēng)港，如黃金。8.Bush’s“coalitionofthewilling”willquicklygaintheupperhand,oilpriceswilldropandstockswillrebound,givingalifttoconsumerconfidenceandspending.布什的“意愿者聯(lián)盟”會(huì)很快占據(jù)上風(fēng)，油價(jià)下跌，股市回升，消費(fèi)得信心和支出將提升。

如果事情正如事先安排的劇情那樣發(fā)展，那無(wú)疑會(huì)掃除阻礙經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的因素，它將會(huì)是經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的催化劑。catharticevent：是一種隱喻性的用法，指如果按事先安排的劇情發(fā)展，它就會(huì)將瀉藥那樣起到通便的作用，清除阻礙經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的因素。script:在這里用作動(dòng)詞，指“寫(xiě)劇本”，goasscripted就是按事先準(zhǔn)備劇本發(fā)展，即布什政府的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)劇本：聯(lián)軍迅速攻占伊拉克、油價(jià)下跌、股市回升、消費(fèi)者信心重升等。NotestoTextA10.InNovember,apanelofeconomistsfrommajorinvestmentbankstrackedthelikelycourseofoilprices,consumerconfidenceandothervariablesthroughfourpossiblewarscenarios.11月，各大投資銀行的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家通過(guò)四種戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)劇本追蹤了油價(jià)可能的軌跡、消費(fèi)者信心和其它一些變數(shù)。11.“Ineconomicterms,ashortwarisbetterthannowar,ornoregimechange,becauseoftheremovalofuncertainty.”從經(jīng)濟(jì)方面來(lái)講，一場(chǎng)短暫的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)比不發(fā)動(dòng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)要好，比不改變現(xiàn)政權(quán)（即當(dāng)時(shí)的薩達(dá)姆政權(quán)）要好。12.Globalinvestorsareamongthemosteagertogetthewaroverwith.全球投資者渴望盡早結(jié)束戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。13.turnaround:反轉(zhuǎn)，在本句中，指投資者在經(jīng)歷了過(guò)去兩年熊市之后，希望股市反彈，起死回生。14.dumpstocks：拋售股票。Dump是傾銷的意思，即大量廉價(jià)拋售。這句話的意思是說(shuō)，高盛首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為投資者現(xiàn)在拋售股票沒(méi)有意義，因?yàn)榭梢源_信的是，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)是不可避免的，但戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)短時(shí)間內(nèi)就會(huì)結(jié)束，經(jīng)濟(jì)會(huì)重新步入正軌，股市必將反轉(zhuǎn)。NotestoTextA15.marketfundamentalists：

Afundamentalistreferstoazealousreligiousadherentwithaviewpointcharacterizedbyrigidadherencetothemostbasictenetsandteachingsofthatreligion,andoftenbyintoleranceofotherviewsandoppositiontosecularism

原教旨主義者，本指反對(duì)世俗觀念，強(qiáng)調(diào)遵循最基本的原則和教義，不容許其他教義的存在的狂熱的宗教信徒。Inthistext,amarketfundamentalistreferstoapersonwhoacceptstheconventionalideathattheforthcomingwarwouldmadethestockmarketdropbutrejectsthecurrentlyprevailingideathatthepossiblewarwouldbeconducivetothegrowthofthestockmarket在本文中，marketfundamentalist指那些不相信時(shí)下的觀點(diǎn)（即將來(lái)臨的海灣戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)對(duì)股市會(huì)有好處）而寧可相信傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)（戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)對(duì)股市不利）的人。16.wardiscount字面意思是“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)貼水”，即戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)帶來(lái)的負(fù)面影響，與前文的warpremium相對(duì)應(yīng)。作者先談戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的利，然后分析戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的弊。17.Haveinvestorsalreadydiscountedthecostofwarfromthepricethey’rewillingtopayforstocks?

投資得買(mǎi)入股票時(shí)，是否已考慮過(guò)要去除戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的成本？這句話的意思是說(shuō)，因?yàn)閼?zhàn)爭(zhēng)對(duì)股市而言，是“利空”，不是“利好”，那么投資者現(xiàn)在買(mǎi)入股票，在價(jià)格方面是否考慮到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的因素？如果考慮過(guò)的話，那說(shuō)明投資者認(rèn)為當(dāng)前股價(jià)在合理區(qū)間，以后股價(jià)會(huì)上漲(boom)；如果沒(méi)有考慮到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)這一利空因素，那說(shuō)明當(dāng)前股價(jià)偏高，一旦發(fā)生戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，股價(jià)就會(huì)崩盤(pán)（crash）。18.Ithoughtwarriskswaspricedintotheequitiesalready,butI’vechangedmymind.Ithinkwhenwarhappens,therewilla30percentdropinstocks.Themarketshavebeenmovingsidewaysbecauseofthiswait-and-seeattitude.我以前還認(rèn)為，股票市場(chǎng)已考慮到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)這一風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，但我現(xiàn)在已改變了看法。戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)一旦爆發(fā)，股市還有30%的跌幅。由于人們一直觀望，股市一直橫盤(pán)（即非常細(xì)小波動(dòng)，沒(méi)有大的漲跌）。19.Governmentsaroundtheworldarenowbracingfortheeconomicfalloutofawarthatthey,too,hopewillbeshort.世界各國(guó)政府都正在為這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)給經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來(lái)的不利影響作準(zhǔn)備，他們也希望這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)會(huì)盡快結(jié)束。brace(oneself)for(usuallydifficultiesandunfavorablesituation):為困難或不利的局面作好準(zhǔn)備
