Part 2

When people buy stock, most do so through one of the securities exchanges or marketplaces for stocks and bonds. These marketplaces are commonly called stock exchanges. To understand why such securities or stock exchanges are important in the purchase and sale of stocks and bonds, consider what would happen if you, and everyone who wanted to buy or sell securities, had to find a buyer or a seller. How would you know what a fair price is? More importantly, how would you find out who is interested in selling what stock to you or buying it from you?

In order to handle this marketing problem, securities exchanges sprung up. These exchanges are nothing more that locations where stocks are bought and sold. And since there is a common meeting place for these transactions, people interested in buying and selling go there or send their representative. The result is a very systematic market process, where transactions are handled in an orderly manner and the operations are both supervised and regulated by law. In this way, the buyer or seller is ensured that they are not cheated in any way.

Part 2 参考译文

人们买股票的时候，大多数会在证券交易所或股票债券市场购买。这些市场通常叫做股票交易所。要想理解为什么证券或股票交易所在股票、债券的买卖中这么重要，可以想想，如果你，或任何一个想买卖证券的人自己去找买家或卖家时，会发生什么。你怎么知道哪个价格是公平的呢？更重要的是，怎么找到感兴趣的那个卖家或买家呢？

为了解决这一交易问题，证券交易所应运而生。这些交易所就是股票买卖的地点。由于交易所是一个股票交易的公共场所，对股票买卖感兴趣的人就会亲自或派代表去那里交易。结果，一个非常系统的市场就形成了，交易有序地进行，所有的活动都受到法律的监督和管理。这样，买家或卖家就能够确信自己无论如何也不会受骗了。
