股票大作手回忆录原文第83段
原文(83):
That Saturday morning I chased over to Hoboken to the Teller place.They had fitted up a big customers’ room with a dandy quotation board and a full force of clerks and a special policeman in gray.There were about twenty-five customers.
I got talking to the manager.He asked me what he could do for me and I told him nothing;that a fellow could make much more money at the track on account of the odds and the freedom to bet your whole roll and stand to win thousands in minutes instead of piking for chicken feed in stocks and having to wait days,perhaps.He began to tell me how much safer the stock-market game was,and how much some of their customers made—you’d have sworn it was a regular broker who actually bought and sold your stocks on the Exchange—and how if a man only traded heavy he could make enough to anybody.He must have thought I was headed for some pool room and he wanted a whack at my roll before the ponies nibbled it away,for he said I ought to hurry up as the market closed at twelve o’clock on Saturdays.That would leave me free to devote the entire afternoon to other pursuits.I might have a bigger roll to carry to the track with me—if I picked the right stocks.
其他版本译文(83):
周六早晨,我赶到了位于哈博肯的泰勒的对赌行。交易大厅很大,还挂着吸引人的报价牌,有很多负责交易的工作人员和穿着灰色制服的保安人员,股民大概有二十五个。
我找到经理谈了谈,他很愿意为我效劳,我不让他做任何事情,只让他知道,只有在赛马场上才能不知不觉地几分钟就赚很多钱,我根本不会对可能要等上几天的零零散散的股票交易感兴趣。听我这么说,他就赶紧劝我,让我相信炒股的安全性比较高,他们的顾客赚了很多钱——你肯定觉得他是一个最普通的股票经纪人,能为你做股票买卖的事情——他还忽悠说只要买卖做大,就会赚很多钱。他肯定觉得我就是来炒股的,非常想拉我入圈套,以便狠赚一把,他根本不想让到了嘴边的肉不翼而飞。他还说,我必须要抓住机会,周六十二点就会收盘了,搞定后下午还可以去处理其他事情,要是能选对股票,就可以赚很多的钱带到跑马场去。
我的译文(83):
事不宜迟,那个周六早晨,我急忙赶往Hoboken,来到了Teller的地盘儿。
他们那个巨大的交易大厅,已经搞的有摸有样了,有着豪华的报价板,站柜台的店员,身着灰色制服的保安以及大约25个客户。
我跟客户经理打招呼,他客气的询问我有什么需求,我没有直接说出我的打算,而是先与他攀谈。
我跟他说,在我印象中,赌马挣大钱的希望更大,因为它下注自由,有多少钱都可以一把押上,而且用不了几分钟,就可以挣到上千块钱,而在股票市场上,得等好几天才能到手,而且能到手的那点小利,也许还不够喂鸡的。
听我这么说,他开始大谈股票市场是多么安全可靠,他们的客户已经挣了多少钱。而且在交易量上,对任何一个人都没有限制。
总之他信誓旦旦的,让你一定以为,他们真的是像正规券商一样,去真实的股票市场上,去为你买卖股票。
他一定以为我是要去台球房赌马,所以他急于先割一把韭菜。
于是,他催促我得抓点紧了,因为股票市场到周六中午十二点就休市了,再开市得等到下周一了。(译者注:这句是我加的)
并劝我说,我只要选对了股票,先挣一笔钱,下午再去赌马,啥也不耽误,不也挺好吗?
我的评注(83):
这一段绘声绘色的描写了一番与客户经理的互动。
