bec阅读：金融时报精读之京东商城能否一鸣惊人

　　学习指南：

　　1.Word of the day

　　stunt：anything spectacular or unusual done to gain publicity 噱头，花招

　　ex: Climbing up the church tower is a fine publicity stunt.

　　例句：攀登教堂钟楼是绝妙的宣传性噱头。

　　2.Phrase of the day

　　to die for： (informal) if something is to die for, it is extremely good 渴望

　　ex: The weather's fantastic, the people are warm and friendly and the food is to die for.

　　例句：这里气候宜人，人民友好，食物也棒极了。

　　3.Sentence of the day

　　Prince Alwaleed’s stake is part of a $400m injection for 360 Buy.

　　阿尔瓦利德王子的持股，是京东商城此轮4亿美元注资的一部分。

　　小编注：这句话中injection的用法值得学习和借鉴。以往我们熟知的injection是注射的意思，比如 I'm going to give you a pain-killing injection. 而在商务语境下，injection更多地表示资金和人才的注入。比如，

　　ex1: This liquidity injection was designed to ensure that money markets continued to function and did not succumb to a credit freeze.

　　例1：欧洲央行此次向市场注入流动性，目的是确保货币市场的正常运转，不会出现信贷冻结的情况。

　　ex2: With management insight from Ceibs and the injection of new personnel talent, the company started to move out of the red.

　　例2：依靠从中欧获得的管理洞见，加上引入了新的人才，全时开始逐渐走出亏损状态。

　　4.Cultural point of the day

　　shoot for the stars：means to aim high, set a big target, have big goals, dream big dreams.抱负远大、一鸣惊人

　　ex: When it comes to pursuing professional goals, Miss Brown likes to shoot for the stars, which is why she became an intern at the White House.

　　例句：在事业方面，布朗小姐是有远大抱负的人，这也是她为什么在白宫实习的原因。

　　小编注：美剧《老友记》中有这样一句话 “There are people, like Ross, who need to shoot for the stars.”这里shoot for the stars的意思就是一鸣惊人。这是一种形象的用法，stars必须是复数。同样的用法还有shoot for the moon。

　　5.Translation of the day

　　When Warren Buffett spends $12bn on Heinz, a $125m stake by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in Chinese online retailer 360 Buy looks trivial.

　　相比沃伦·巴菲特投资亨氏(Heinz)的120亿美元，阿尔瓦利德·本·塔拉尔王子(Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal)投资中国网络零售商京东商城(360 Buy)所花的1.25亿美元看起来微不足道。

　　小编注：从中文翻译上来看，主句和从句存在着比较的关系，而英语原文中并没有用comparing或 compared这样的词，而是简单地用了when的句式，加上looks trivial就把比较关系给点出来了。句式灵活多变，值得学习，尤其是汉译英的时候，可以考虑借鉴此句式。
