Passage 11

The

psychology

of

the

market

is

one

that

includes

both

the

psychology of investing and the psychology of gambling. There

are

the

compulsive

attractions

of

gambling

in

the

market.

The

undulating

moods

of

the

stock

market,

alternating

between

its

bull

phase

of

energy

greediness

and

grandiosity,

and

the

bear

phase of timidity, anxiety, indecisiveness and self-doubt, reflect

the

manic behavior of the gambling

addict. Speculation differs

from

most

gambling

activities

in

that

the

beliefs

of

the

participants

affect

the

results.

In

certain

circumstances

speculators

are

capable

of

creating

self-fulfilling

prophecies.//

Success

in

speculation

is

ultimately

dependent

on

finding

someone else to buy your shares at a higher price than you paid

for him or her. Every speculative bubble resembles a chain letter

in

that

profits

are

provided

by

late

entrants

to

the

market.

Everyone is attempting to anticipate the immediate intentions of

his competitors. In such circumstances, paying attention to shifts

in market psychology becomes essential.//

市场的心态表现出投机与赌博兼而有之的两重性。市场有难

以抗拒的赌博诱惑。股市的情绪在牛市和熊市之间交替波

动，< /p>

牛市充满了高涨的贪婪情绪，

熊市则弥漫着胆怯、

焦虑、

犹豫不决和自我怀疑的情绪。股市心态的这种波动折射出赌

徒的躁狂行为。投机活动与大多数赌博活动的不同之处在

于，投机参与者的信 念会影响投机结果。在某些情况下，投

机者能够创造出自我实现的预言。

//

投机的成功归根到底取

决于别人能否以比你买入时 更高的价格买下你手中的股票。

每个投机泡沫就好比一封连锁信，利润是由后来入市者提 供

的。每一个人都在预测竞争对手下

_

步的意图。在这种情况

下，对市场心理变化的关注是至关重要的。

Passage 12

The

utility

of

the

United

Nations

to

the

United

States

as

an

instrument

of

foreign

policy

can

too

easily

be

underestimated.

Over

the

years

since

its

founding

in

1945,

the

United

Nations

has been more or less a servant of American interests. The most

spectacular

examples

were

the

official

UN

authorization

and

sponsorship

of intervention in the “troubled spots” of the world

with an international peacekeeping force. Consider this fact: The

United States provides an average quarter of the UN budget. //

Many

Americans

feel

the

United

Nations

does

not

give

good

value

for

the

investment.

But

any

evaluation

of

the

United

Nations must take into account the purpose for which the United

States

sought

to

create

it:

power

without

diplomacy.

In

many

cases, a victory of the United Nations is a victory of the United

States.

In

recent

years,

however,

with

the

growing

position

of

China and some other countries in international diplomacy, the

United

States

can

no

longer

control

UN

decisions

as

it

did

before.

But

the

United

Nations

will

continue

to

function

as

a

useful instrument of American foreign policy.//

美国利用联合国作为其外交政策的工具很容易被低估。联合

国自

1945

年成立以来，或多或少地成了美 国利益的服务工

具。最典型的事例是，在联合国正式授权和操办下，国际维

和部队可以对世界上的

“

麻烦

”

地区进行干预。你得考虑这样

一个事实，美国给联合国提供 的经费占了联合国总预算的

。

//

许多美国人认为，联合国没有对这种 投资予以良好的

回报。但是，对联合国的任何评价都必须考虑到美国所追求

的目的，即不使用外交手段的力量。很多事例表明，联合国

的胜利就是美国的 胜利。然而，由于中国以及其他一些国家

近年来国际外交地位的提高，美国再也无法像以 前那样控制

联合国的决策。

当然，

联合 国作为美国外交政策的有效工具，

将继续发挥这样的作用。

Passage 13

We

must

recognize

that

the

world

today

is
