荧屏情景

第22周 在银行

荧屏情景：

星期三 投资 片段选自《华尔街》 Wall Street 01:20:00--01:20:34

Gorden: Mixed emotions, Bud. Like Larry Wildman going off a cliff... in my new Maserati! Guys like me have had their asses hung in a sling with the airlines! Fuel could go up. Unions are killers.
戈登：巴德，你真是让我悲喜交加。这就像怀曼开着我的玛莎拉蒂冲下了悬崖。我这种人绝不会碰航空公司。油价随时上涨，工会的人又难搞。
Bud: Yeah, but aren't you forgetting one thing? Capital reserves. This company has 75 million cash in an overfunded pension. That buys us a lot of credibility. And the beauty is, you already own close to 2% of this sucker.
巴德：是的，但你忘了一件事。资本储备金，这公司有七千五百万退休金，放在超额筹资的基金户头里。这可以让我们的融资信用大增。最棒的是，你拥有的蓝星股票已经快到2%了。
Man: Gorden, the insurance people are balking on the logging trucks. What do you want to do?
男士：戈登，保险公司已经心生退却，你要怎么做？
