Gold bugs are among the only smiling investors these days. Prices have jumped 6% this year to $1,127 an ounce. That makes gold the best performing commodity and one of the only major assets to post a sizable gain in 2016.
"金甲虫" (指黄金投资者)是现在为数不多的还能保持微笑的投资者之一。黄金的价格今年已经上涨了6%至1127美元/盎司(约28.35克)，这使黄金成为2016开年以来表现最佳的商品和为数不多的带来可观回报的主要资产之一。
By comparison, stocks have had a dismal start to the year: The Dow is down more than 1,000 points this year, while the Nasdaq has lost 8% of its value.
相比之下，股市则表现不佳。道琼斯指数今年下降了不止1000点，纳斯达克的市值则缩水8%。
