2 历史(History)The name of the street derives from the 17th century when Wall Street formed the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement. In the 1640s basic picket（原木）and plank fences（木板围墙）denoted（记为）residences（居留）in the colony. Later, on behalf of the Dutch West India Company, in part using African slaves, the Dutch led in the construction of a stronger stockade.（寨子）There was a strengthened 4 meters wall against attack from various Native American tribes（美[traɪb]）. In 1685 surveyors laid out Wall Street along the lines of the original stockade(寨子). The wall was dismantled （美[dɪs'mæntl]）by the British colonial government in 1699. In the late 18th century, there was a buttonwood（梧桐）tree at the foot of Wall Street under which traders and speculators(投机商，美['spɛkjə,letɚ]) would gather to trade informally. In 1792, the traders formalized（使…成为正式；使具有一定形式，美['fɔrmə,laɪz]）their association with the Buttonwood Agreement. This was the origin of the New York Stock Exchange.

Early years
• In the 1640s, basic picket and plank fences denoted plots and residences in the colony.[13] Later, on behalf of the Dutch West India Company, Peter Stuyvesant, using both African slaves[14] and white colonists, collaborated with the city government in the construction of a more substantial fortification, a strengthened 12-foot (4 m) wall. In these early days, local merchants and traders would gather at disparate spots to buy and sell shares and bonds, and over time divided themselves into two classes— auctioneers and dealers.[16] The rampart was removed in 1699. • In the late 18th century, there was a buttonwood tree at the foot of Wall Street under which traders and speculators would gather to trade securities.

关于英语中道路的几种说法
关于英语中道路的几种说法大家好，欢迎来到饰途英语的“留言回答”节目，我是Jay 。
这档节目回答大家在英语学习时遇到的种种难题和疑问。
本期节目主要回答的问题来自听众关于英语中道路的区别，我们来分析下。
Question街道在英语中有好几个单词，怎么去分辨Answer英语中常用的街道主要是Street,Road,Avenue,Boulevard,Drive,Court,Lane，以下是对这几个单词的分析➢ Street主要是指村落或都市中两边有房屋的街道或马路街道，偏向于市区（一般是东西走向）简称St，最著名的就是Wall Street了。
华尔街它早已不是一个单纯的地理名词，而是美国资本市场和经济实力的象征。
现在，绝大多数金融机构与这条500米长的街道不再发生直接的物理关联，华尔街人也完全成为了一种精神归属，资本已经进入无眠时代。
同样在华盛顿D.C.,东西街道是以Street A、Street B、Street C命名；南北街道以Street 1、Street 2、Street 3命名.在日本,在新加坡,Street、Road 的使用,完全没有分别。
➢∙Road路常指城市或乡村之间可供车辆或行人通过的宽阔而又平坦的大路，这种路两旁有无房屋皆可一般意义的路，南北走向，简称Rd。
在新加坡,最有名的路是Orchard Road(乌节路),是在最繁华的地方。
➢∙Avenue，旁有着华丽的住宅或林立的建筑物主要是指大街，多车道有绿化带的，简称Ave,偏向于市郊,但是没有一定,如美国首都华盛顿宾西法尼亚大道Philadelphia Avenue,是接待外国元首最隆重的街道,是一定要张挂两国国旗的。
还有第五大道Fifth Avenue，是美国纽约市曼哈顿一条重要的南北向干道，景点众多，由南至北有帝国大厦、纽约公共图书馆、洛克菲勒中心、圣帕特里克教堂以及中央公园等。
➢ Boulevard，也可指大道，但更多是指林荫大道，简称Blvd。
Wall Street介绍
Wall Street (1987 film)Wall Street is a 1987 American drama film released by 20th Century Fox. It was directed by Oliver Stone and stars Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, and Daryl Hannah. The screenplay was written by Stanley Weiser and Stone. The film tells the story of Bud Fox (Sheen), a young stockbroker desperate to succeed who becomes involved with his hero, Gordon Gekko (Douglas), a wealthy, unscrupulous corporate raider.Stone made the film as a tribute to his father, Lou Stone, a stockbroker during the Great Depression. The character of Gekko is said to be a composite of several people, including Owen Morrisey, Dennis Levine, Ivan Boesky, Carl Icahn, Asher Edelman, Michael Ovitz, Michael Milken, and Stone himself. Originally, the studio wanted Warren Beatty to play Gekko, but he was not interested, and Stone wanted Richard Gere, though Gere passed on the role. Stone went with Douglas even though he had been advised by others in Hollywood not to cast him.The film was well-received among major film critics including Roger Ebert. Douglas won the Academy Award for Best Actor, and the film has come to be seen as the archetypal portrayal of 1980s excess, with Douglas's character memorably declaring that "greed, for lack of a better word, is good". It has also proven influential in inspiring people to work on Wall Street with Sheen, Douglas, and Stone commenting over the years how people still approach them and say that they became stockbrokers because of their respective characters in the film.Stone, Douglas, and Sheen have reunited for a sequel titled Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, which was released theatrically on September 24, 2010.PlotIn 1985, Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen), a junior stockbroker at Jackson Steinem & Co., is desperate to get to the top. He wants to become involved with his hero, the corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), a ruthless and legendary Wall Street player whose values could not conflict more with those of Bud's father Carl (Martin Sheen), a blue-collar airline maintenance foreman and union president. Bud visits Gekko on his birthday and, granted a brief interview, pitches him stocks, but Gekko is unimpressed. Realizing that Gekko may not do business with him, a desperate Bud provides him some inside information about Bluestar Airlines, which Bud learned in a casual conversation from his father. Gekko tells him he will think about it. A dejected Bud returns to his office where Gekko places an order for Bluestar stock, becoming one of Bud's clients.Gekko gives Bud some capital to manage, but the shares Bud selects—by honest research—lose money. Instead, Gekko takes Bud under his wing but compels him tounearth new information by any means necessary, including unethical and illegal means. One of his first assignments is to spy on British corporate raider Sir Lawrence Wildman (Terence Stamp) and discern the Brit's next move. Through Bud's spying, Gekko makes big money, and Wildman is forced to buy Gekko's shares off him to complete his control of a steel company.Bud becomes wealthy, enjoying Gekko's promised perks, including a penthouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side and a trophy blonde, interior decorator Darien (Daryl Hannah). Still employed by Jackson Steinem, Bud is promoted as a result of the large commission fees he is bringing in from Gekko's trading, and is given a corner office with a view. He continues to maximize insider information and use friends as straw buyers to get rich.Bud pitches a new idea to Gekko, to buy Bluestar Airlines and expand the company, with Bud as president, using savings achieved by union concessions. Bud persuades his father, Carl, who dislikes Gekko, to get union support for the plan and push for the deal. Things change when Bud learns that Gekko, in fact, plans to sell off Bluestar's assets, leaving Carl and the entire Bluestar staff unemployed. Although this would leave Bud very rich, he is angered by Gekko's deceit, and racked with the guilt of being an accessory to Bluestar's destruction. Bud chooses his father over his mentor and resolves to disrupt Gekko's plans. He angrily breaks up with Darien, who refuses to plot against Gekko, her former lover and the architect of her career.Bud creates a plan to manipulate Bluestar's stock value downwards. Gekko, realizing that his stock is plummeting, finally dumps his remaining interest in the company, only to learn on the evening news that the shares have been picked up at a lower price by Sir Lawrence Wildman, who will become the airline's new majority shareholder. Gekko realizes that Bud engineered the entire scheme. Bud triumphantly goes back to work at Jackson Steinem & Co. the following day, where he is confronted by the police and the Securities and Exchange Commission. He is then placed under arrest for securities fraud and insider trading.Sometime later, Bud confronts Gekko in Central Park. Gekko berates him for his role with Bluestar. He then assaults Bud, berating his ingratitude for several of their illegal business transactions. Following the confrontation, it is revealed that Bud was wearing a wire to record his encounter with Gekko. He turns the wire tapes over to the federal authorities, who suggest that his sentence will be lightened in exchange for his help. Later on, Bud's parents drive him to the courthouse, and Carl tells him he did right in saving the airline, but he'll most likely go to jail. The film ends with Bud going up the steps of the Supreme Court to face his crimes.ThemesThe film has come to be seen as the archetypal portrayal of 1980s excess, with Douglas advocating "greed, for lack of a better word, is good".[17]Wall Street definesitself through a number of morality conflicts putting wealth and power against simplicity and honesty.[18]Carl's (Martin Sheen's) character represents the working class in the film: he is the union leader for the maintenance workers at Bluestar. He constantly attacks big business, money, mandatory drug screening and greedy manufacturers and anything that he sees as a threat to his union. The conflict between Gekko's relentless pursuit of wealth and Carl Fox's leftward leanings form the basis of the film's subtext.[18] This subtext could be described as the concept of the two fathers battling for control over the morals of the son, a concept Stone had also used in Platoon. In Wall Street the hard-working Carl Fox and the cutthroat businessman Gordon Gekko represent the fathers. The producers of the film use Carl as their voice in the film, a voice of reason amid the creative destruction brought about by Gekko's unrestrained free-market philosophy.[18]A significant scene in the film is a speech by Gekko to a shareholders' meeting of Teldar Paper, a company he is planning to take over. Stone uses this scene to give Gekko, and by extension, the Wall Street raiders he personifies, the chance to justify their actions, which he memorably does, pointing out the slothfulness and waste that corporate America accumulated through the postwar years and from which he sees himself as a "liberator".[18] The inspiration for the "Greed is good" speech seems to have come from two sources. The first part, where Gekko complains that the company's management owns less than three percent of its stock, and that it has too many vice presidents, is taken from similar speeches and comments made by Carl Icahn about companies he was trying to take over.[18] The defense of greed is a paraphrase of the May 18, 1986, commencement address at the UC Berkeley's School of Business Administration, delivered by arbitrageur Ivan Boesky (who himself was later convicted of insider-trading charges), in which he said, "Greed is all right, by the way. I want you to know that. I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself".[18]Wall Street is not a wholesale criticism of the capitalist system, but of the cynical, quick-buck culture of the 1980s.[18] The "good" characters in the film are themselves capitalists, but in a more steady, hardworking sense. In one scene, Gekko scoffs at Bud Fox's question as to the moral value of hard work, quoting the example of his (Gekko's) father, who worked hard his entire life and died in relative mediocrity. Lou Mannheim as an archetype old man mentor, says early in the film, that "good things sometimes take time", referring to IBM and Hilton—in contrast, Gekko's "Greed is Good" credo typifies the short-term view prevalent in the 80s.[18]。
华尔街(Wall Street)
华尔街（Wall Street）是一条位于美国纽约市下曼哈顿的狭窄街道。
东起百老汇，向西一路延伸至东河旁的南街，横跨纽约曼哈顿的金融中心。
今日，“华尔街”一词已超越这条街道本身，成为附近区域的代称，同时也可以借指对整个美国经济具有影响力的金融市场和金融机构。
华尔街是纽约证券交易所的第一个常驻地，至今仍是几个主要交易所的总部，包括：纽约证交所、那斯达克、美国证券交易所、纽约商业交易所和纽约期货交易所。
许多金融公司的总部都已迁离华尔街，取而代之的是曼哈顿的中城，以及纽约市的外围地带，诸如：长岛、威斯特彻斯特、费尔菲尔德、纽泽西州等地。
历史华尔街的名称源自于17世纪来自北边界的新阿姆斯特丹移民。
1640年代，殖民地内的小块土地由基本的尖木桩和围篱分隔。
而后，为了有效控管来自非洲的奴隶，荷属西印度公司的代表彼得·斯特伊弗桑特（Peter Stuyvesant），领导来自荷兰的移民团建造更坚固的栅栏。
1653年，这片栅栏被强化强化成一座约3.65米（12英呎）高的泥土木板墙。
此后，为了抵御印地安部落、新英格兰殖民者以及英国人，木板墙便逐渐地被扩张和强化。
1685年勘测员沿着原始栅栏划订出一条道路，即今日的华尔街。
1699年英国人将这面城墙拆除。
18世纪末，交易员和投机者在华尔街街脚的一棵梧桐树下从事非正式的买卖。
1792年，这些人将非正式的买卖转化为正式的联盟，订立梧桐树协议，这一组织就是纽约证券交易所的前身。
1889年，道琼斯公司将原本专门报道股市的短信《致读者下午信》扩大经营规模为出版报纸，并且依照华尔街命名为《华尔街日报》。
这份在纽约市出版的报纸，着重在财经新闻的报道，其内容足以影响每日的国际经济活动。
[5]在过去，《华尔街日报》曾多年为全美国发行量最大的报纸，今日，每日全球270万份的发行量也仅次于《今日美国》，排名全美第二。
[6]衰退与复兴曼哈顿金融区的规模在纽约仅次于中城，是全美国最大的商业区之一。

wall street(history)
●IntroductionWall Street refers to the financial district of New York City,[1] named after and centered on the eight-block-long street running from Broadway 百老汇to South Street on the East River in lower Manhattan. Over time久而久之, the term has become a financial markets of the United States as a whole, or signifying Newheadquarters 总●History1.Nineteenth centuryIn the first few decades, both residences and businesses occupied the area, but increasingly business predominated. "There are old stories of people's houses being surrounded by the clamor of business and trade and the owners complaining that they can't get anything done," according to a historian named Burrows.[11] The opening of the Erie Canal 伊利运河in the early 19th century meant a huge boom in business for New York City, since it was the only major eastern seaport which had direct access by inland waterways to ports on the Great Lakes. Wall Street became the "money capital of America.In the 1840s and 1850s, most residents moved north to midtown because of the increased business use at the lower tip of the island.[11] The Civil War had theIn 1889, the original stock report, Customers' Afternoon Letter, became The Wall Street Journal. Named in reference to the actual street, it became an influential international daily business newspaper published in New York City.[24] After October 7, 1896, it began publishing Dow's 美国陶氏expanded list of stocks.[23] A century later, there were 30 stocks in the average.2.Twentieth centuryWall Street has had changing relationships with government authorities. In 1913, for example, when authorities proposed a $4 tax on stock transfers, stock clerks 仓库管理人员protested.[25] At other times, city and state officials have taken steps through tax incentives 捐税鼓励to encourage financial firms to continue to do business in the city.In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the corporate culture of New York was a primary center for the construction of skyscrapers, and was rivaled only by Chicago草地保龄球场area was described as "Wall Street's back yard" with city."[26] As a result of the construction, looking at New York City from the east, one can see two distinct clumps of tall buildings—the financial district on the left, and the taller midtown district on the right.falling prices.[33] During this era, development of the financial district stagnated 停滞, and Wall Street "paid a heavy price" and "became something of a backwater in American life."[33] During the New Deal罗斯福新政there was much less focus on Wall Street and finance. The government clamped down 施压on the practice of buying equities based only on credit, but these policies began to ease.In 1987, the stock market plunged[20] and, in the relatively brief recession following, lower Manhattan lost 100,000 jobs according to one estimate.3.Twenty-first centuryIn the first year of the new century, the Big Board纽约证券交易所, as some termed the NYSE, was described as the world's "largest and most prestigious有声望的stock market."[45] But when the World Trade Center世界贸易中心was destroyed on September 11th, it left an architectural void as new developments since the 1970s had played off the complex aesthetically. The attacks "crippled使残废" the communications network.[45] One estimate was that 45% of Wall Street's "best office space" had been lost.Still, the NYSE was determined to re-open on September 17, almost a week after the attack.[46] The attack hastened a trend towards financial firms moving tomidtown and contributed to the loss of business on Wall Street, due to temporary-to-permanent relocation to New Jersey and further decentralization with establishments transferred to cities like Chicago, Denver, and Boston.By 2010, the investment community was worried about proposed legal reforms, including the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 消费者保护法which dealt with matters such as credit card rates and lending requirements.[53] The NYSE closed two of its trading floors 交易场所in a move towards transforming itself into an electronic exchangeWall Street as a financial center1.Wall Street in the New York economyWall Street pay, in terms of salaries and bonuses and taxes, is an important part of the economy of New York City, and the United States. In 2008, after a downturn in the stock market, the decline meant $18 billion less in taxable income, with less money available for "apartments, furniture, cars, clothing and services".[47] A falloff in Wall Street's economy could have "wrenching effects on the local and regional economies".Estimates vary about the number and quality of financial jobs in the city. One estimate was that Wall Street firms employed close to 200,000 persons in 2008.[47] Another estimate was that in 2007, the financial services industry which had a $70 billion profit became 22 percent of the city's revenue.2.Wall Street versus Midtown ManhattanA requirement of the New York Stock Exchange was that brokerage firms 经纪商had to have offices "clustered 成群的around Wall Street" so clerks 办事员could deliver physical paper copies of stockindications that midtown had beendealings even by 1911.[63] But asdecades of the 20th century, computers and telecommunications replaced paper notifications, meaning that the close proximity极为贴近requirement could be bypassed 忽视in more situations.[20] Many financial firms found that they couldmove to midtown Manhattan four miles away[11] or elsewhere and still operate effectively.Nevertheless, a key magnet for the Wall Street remains the New York Stock Exchange.

第二集：墙在哪里
华尔街是英语“Wall Street”的中文音译，它起初就是一道墙，是由最先买下纽约曼哈顿的荷兰人建立的。因为成功打通了北美和亚洲海上贸易通道，世界上的第一个金融中心在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹诞生，他们发明了股票，创造了股票交易模式，并建立起了现代银行体系。但因为郁金香泡沫而引发的人类历史上的第一次金融危机，使世界金融中心的航船开始起航，在绕道伦敦后，奔向纽约。华尔街的历史完全可以代表纽约的历史，华尔街墙的建立与消失，以及后来成为世界金融中心的核心，都在着力塑造着纽约这座资本之城。
华尔街变迁史英文版
华尔街变迁史英文版The Evolution of Wall StreetWall Street, the epicenter of global finance, has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past century, evolving from a local stock exchange to a dynamic hub of international commerce and investment. This storied avenue in lower Manhattan has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, the birth of new industries, and the shaping of economic fortunes that have reverberated across the world.The origins of Wall Street can be traced back to the 17th century when the Dutch colonists established a wall to protect their settlement from the British and Native American threats. This wall eventually gave way to a bustling marketplace where merchants and traders gathered to exchange goods and currencies. As the American colonies grew in economic and political significance, Wall Street emerged as the natural center for financial activity, with the establishment of the New York Stock Exchange in 1792.The 19th century saw the rapid industrialization of the United States, and Wall Street played a pivotal role in financing the growth of thenation's burgeoning industries. The rise of the railroad, the steel industry, and the oil and gas sector all benefited from the influx of capital and investment channeled through Wall Street's financial institutions. This period also witnessed the emergence of powerful financial titans, such as J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, whose influence and wealth shaped the course of the American economy.The early 20th century brought both prosperity and peril to Wall Street. The roaring 1920s saw a frenzy of speculative investment, with the stock market reaching unprecedented heights. However, this period of exuberance was followed by the devastating Wall Street Crash of 1929, which triggered the Great Depression and sent shockwaves through the global economy. In the aftermath of this crisis, the federal government enacted a series of regulatory measures, including the creation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to restore confidence in the financial markets and prevent similar catastrophic events from occurring.The post-World War II era ushered in a new era of growth and innovation on Wall Street. The rise of institutional investors, such as pension funds and mutual funds, provided a steady influx of capital, while the emergence of new financial instruments, like derivatives and securitization, expanded the scope and complexity of Wall Street's operations. The 1980s saw the deregulation of the financial industry, leading to a wave of mergers and acquisitions thattransformed the landscape of Wall Street.The 21st century has brought both challenges and opportunities to Wall Street. The global financial crisis of 2008, triggered by the subprime mortgage meltdown, exposed the vulnerabilities of the financial system and led to a renewed focus on risk management and regulatory oversight. However, the rise of new technologies, such as algorithmic trading and fintech, has also transformed the way financial transactions are conducted, creating new avenues for innovation and growth.Today, Wall Street remains at the forefront of global finance, serving as a hub for international investment, trading, and the development of cutting-edge financial products. The district's skyline is dominated by the towering headquarters of the world's leading banks, investment firms, and financial technology companies, each vying for a piece of the ever-evolving financial landscape.The story of Wall Street's evolution is one of resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of profit. From its humble beginnings as a colonial marketplace to its current status as a global financial powerhouse, Wall Street has weathered numerous storms, reinventing itself time and again to meet the changing demands of the modern economy. As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of the 21st century, the future of Wall Street remainsuncertain, but its enduring significance as a central pillar of the global financial system is undeniable.。
涨姿势！原来纽约市街道名称背后还有这么多故事
涨姿势！原来纽约市街道名称背后还有这么多故事【侨报纽约网报道】纽约市有许多条于世界闻名的街道。
如果你是一个游客，你可能已经在无数书籍中阅览过，或在电影和电视节目看到和听说过它们。
但是你是否想过他们的名字来自哪里呢？今天跟随瞧纽约一起来看看纽约标志性的街道名称和它们的起源。
华尔街(Wall Street)除了百老汇(Broadway)，华尔街也许是纽约市最知名的大道了。
华尔街可以说是曼哈顿下城金融业的代名词，这条仅包括八个街段长的金融街，其最初的名字是“德瓦尔路('de Waal Straat')”，由曼哈顿的早期荷兰移民命名。
其名称最广为接受的解释是，1792年荷兰殖民者为抵御英军侵犯而建筑了一堵土墙，从东河一直筑到哈德逊河。
该墙的建筑者名叫彼得·史岱文森(Peter Stuyvesant)，他曾是新阿姆斯特丹(New Amsterdam)在荷兰殖民地的最北端边境抗击对手英国殖民者定居的最后一任总干事。
后来沿墙形成了一条街，得名Wall Street。
最后围墙被拆除，但“华尔街”的名字却保留了下来，并以“美国的金融中心”闻名于世。
史岱文森除了纽约市一些机构外，他还将他的名字借给曼哈顿的东村(Manhattan's East Village)的一条短短的延展街道和布碌仑的一条大道使用。
不过还有另一种理论，华尔街可能是以第一批由欧洲移民来此的30个瓦隆(Walloon)家庭命名的。
百老汇(Broadway)作为曼哈顿最古老的一个主要的南北交通要道，百老汇的名字似乎是不言自明的。
然而，该名称是个翻译过来的名字。
你猜猜它是荷兰语中的哪个词翻译过来的，是'Breedeweg'还是' broad road'呢？非常有趣的事实是，百老汇不仅只在曼哈顿，它还继续通往布朗士(Bronx)，甚至延伸至18公里以外的城市，一直到纽约州的断头谷(Sleepy Hollow)。

McGinteyA fellow trader and friend of Bud’s. Duncan……………………………………………………..William G. KnightThe leader of the pilot’s union at Blue Star airlines.Plot SummaryThis movie is the story of a young and ambitious Wall Street stock broker named Bud Fox, who is determined to become rich like his hero, a stock trader and corporate raider named Gordon Gekko. Gekko is one of the richest,most ruthless and immoral businessmen in the country, who routinely uses inside (secret) corporate information to make deals, even though this is completely illegal. He also buys companies cheap, only to destroy them and their workers’ jobs in order to sell off the company’s assets (such as planes, land, office buildings, etc). For Gekko, “greed is good.”After trying for several weeks, Bud gets to meet Gekko, and with a little luck, he is soon working with him, making investments with an account Gekko has set up for him. Gekko promises Bud lots of “perks” (benefits) if he does well with the money, and those benefits soon arrive. He also meets Darien at a party that Gekko is throwing, and now that he is starting to make so much money, he can afford to go out with her, despite her very expensive taste. Unfortunately, though Bud soon learns the dark side of Gekko’s trading world, including his willingness to break any law, or for that matter, destroy any company, to make more and more money. This includes even the company where Bud’s father is the leader of the labor union, and for Bud, that is a bad deal that is just too close to home.This movie, which was made in 1987, does a good job of capturing the ambiance, and more specifically, the greed, that was a big part of the American scene during the 1980s. In fact, the character of Gordon Gekko is based loosely on a real corporate raider named Ivan Boesky, who was fined $100,000,000 and sentenced to several years in jail for his part in the insider trading scandals that shook Wall Street during that decade. Of course, wealth and money are relative; By the end of the 1990s, dozens of people in the US had accumulated fortunes in the billions of dollars, making the sums discussed in this movie seem almost insignificant!This is the act of trading stock after acquiring information from executives or other high officials inside a company. It is illegal, because it is believed the person who has this information has an unfair advantage over those who don’t. Of course, it is difficult to prove, and in the real world, many people often come very close to breaking this law.The Three Most Important Companies in this Film (All Fictional):Blue Star Airlines: The airline where Bud’s dad is a mechanic and union leader, which is facing bankruptcy because it cannot compete with bigger airlines. Bud feels he can save it, but Gekko has other ideas.Teldar Paper: A huge paper company that Gekko wants to buy, forcing outall of their management. Obviously, the management tries to resist this.A steal company that Larry Wildman wants to buy and save, and in theory, make profitable for the long run. It becomes harder for Larry to do this when Gekko begins to buy stock in it, thus driving up the price.Some Words and Expressions that You May not KnowBud has a bad day at the office, losing $7,000 for all his hard work.How are you doing? :: Doing any better, and it would be a sin.A silly way of saying things are going very well(A “sin” is an immoral act of which God disapproves).Get out while you’re young, kid.Lou’s way of telling Buddy to leave the brokering business.?“Pal” is an alternative word to friend (It is heavily used in this movie).today.A slangy way of saying to make a lot of money.Jesus, you can’t make a in this market.“Jesus” is a common way of showing emotion such as anger orfrustration.

For Gekko, the buying and selling of companies is as bloody.. Just one more chance, Mr. Gekko.“To go the extra mile” for a person is to doeverything you absolutely can to help them.You want another chance? :: Fucking A!A rather strange and certainly vulgar expression which means Yes.

各国风情—Wall Street English
春节，是中国人最为看重的传统节日，在民间俗称过年。
你知道“年”的传说吗？华尔街英语告诉你：传说中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。
因此每到除夕，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼，逃往深山，以躲避“年”的伤害。
有一年除夕，一位白发老人身披红袍，并用噼啪的鞭炮声与闪亮的火光吓走了“年”，人们才恍然大悟，原来老人是帮助大家驱逐“年”兽的神仙，人们也由此知道了驱赶“年”兽的三大法宝。
从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹，户户烛火通明、守更待岁，这个风俗越传越广，最终成为中国民间最隆重的传统节日“过年”。
过年，在中国人的心目中，意味着合家团圆，幸福安康。
所以，无论如何，人们都会赶回家和亲人们一起过年。
劳累了一年的人们过年的时候，在“吃”上特别有讲究，最为重要的当属“年夜饭”，而“饺子”是最具中国特色的也是年夜饭餐桌上必备的食物。
因为饺子的形状颇像中国的元宝，所以吃饺子被寓为“财运亨通”的吉祥之意。
一家人围坐在一起，一边吃饺子，一边看春节联欢晚会，年味浓浓，其乐融融。
WORDS FROM WALL STREET ENGLISHCHINA (DO YOU KNOW T HE TALE OF “NIAN”?)The Spring festival, commonly referred to as “Guo Nian” in Chinese, is the most important traditional festival for the people of China. Do you know t he story of ”Guo Nian” ? Wall Street English will reveal all.A long time ago, there lived an ancient monster called “Nian”. It remained in seclusion for many years under the sea, but every New Year’s Eve it would come ashore and devour livestock and peopl e. Thus villagers had to flee to the mountains every New Years Eve to escape from the “Nian”. On one particular New Year’s Eve, a white-haired old man appeared wearing a red robe frightened the “Nian” away using firecrackers, with their explosive sounds and bursts of fire. The villagers realized that the old man was in fact a god who had come to the aid them against the monster. The god then showed them three magic weapons to chase the “Nian” away. Ever since, families put up red luck charms and set off fir ecrackers every New Year’s Eve, as well as staying up all night with bright lights. The custom spread and eventually became the most revered, traditional festival amongst all Chinese - Guo Nian.Guo Nian means a time for reuniting family, happiness and wellbeing for the Chinese, so they will journey home and spend time with their loved ones during the Spring Festival at all costs. To make up for a wholeyear’s hard work, the Chinese faithful will take particular care when it comes to food during the Sprin g Festival. New Year’s Eve dinner is the most important meal, and dumplings are both a uniquely Chinese and indispensable part of the Spring feast. The shape of dumplings are made to resemble gold or silver ingots of ancient China, hence the Chinese believe eating dumplings can bring great fortune. As is custom families sit together eating dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala show on TV, which is a time of much celebration and joy.香港（你知道Hong Kong的由来吗？）香港，因绝大多数货品没有关税而成为购物人士的最爱，不论是铜锣湾与尖沙嘴，还是旺角和油麻地，总能看到正在交易的繁荣景象。

谈奥巴马演讲中的Main Street的翻译
谈奥巴马演讲中的Main Street的翻译力镔若水在奥巴马的获胜演讲中有一句话是：Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.这句话的中文译文各不一样，归纳起来，主要有以下几种译法：新东方：让我们牢记这场金融危机带来的教训：不能允许商业街挣扎的同时却让华尔街繁荣。
文森：让我们记住，如果我们从这次金融危机中得到任何教训的话，那就是，我们不能富了华尔街，穷了商业街。
中国新闻网：让我们记住这一点，如果说这场金融危机教会了我们什么东西的话，那就是我们不可能在金融以外的领域处于困境的同时拥有繁荣兴旺的华尔街。
华尔街日报：让我们铭记这场金融危机带来的教训：我们不可能在金融以外的领域备受煎熬的同时拥有繁荣兴旺的华尔街。
联合报：我们不要忘记，如果这次金融危机给了我们任何教训，那就是在寻常百姓生活困顿下，华尔街也不可能独自繁荣昌盛。
力镔若水：请记住，如果说这场金融危机给了我们什么教训，那就是当布衣街患难时，华尔街报不可能繁荣。
这句话的翻译因涉及到Wall Street和Main Street两个概念，往往不同译者都采用不同的译法。
要探讨这句话怎么译，首先得搞清这两个用语的概念。
Wall Street 和 Main Street这里的 Wall Street直接含义是指位于纽约金融区的一条名叫“华尔街”的街道，泛指包括金融、投资在内的美国的巨型企业，也指美国富有人的阶层及他们的生活，Main Street直接含义是指小城镇的主街，人们在那里购物，喝咖啡聊天，参加社交活动，泛指小企业，小作坊和平民百姓，也指平民阶层及他们的生活。
Main Street一语的来源及内涵演变Main Street一语首先出自美国小说家、美国第一个诺贝尔文学奖获得者辛克莱·刘易斯发表于1920年的同名小说，中文翻译为《大街》。

A crowd at Wall and Broad streets after the 1929 crash.
In the 20th century, Wall Street has been changing relationships with government authorities.
In 1685 surveyors laid out Wall Street along the lines of the original stockade. In these early days, local merchants and traders would gather at disparate spots to buy and sell shares and bonds, and over time divided themselves into two classes—auctioneers （拍 卖商） and dealers （经销 商）.
