[例句精译] 很多用来描述货币政策的词，如引导经济软着陆、经济刹车，使货币政策听起来像是一门精确的科学。 <span word="private">private</span> <span word="placement">placement</span>指直接向特定投资者如基金、保险公司及银行等机构投资者出售证券。因不涉及向公众发行，一般毋须向证券监管当局注册登记。 参考译文： 参议院深入贷款案件，调查股票转让 一名教育部官员和三所大学的财务援助部门的主管从一个学生贷款公司现任总裁手中接受该公司股票，这种行为可能触犯了证券法，调查其中交易的参议员幕僚如此说。 在各种提交给为参议员爱德华<span word="M">M</span>肯尼迪工作的成员的报告中，该公司总裁都把这些股票转让称之为礼物，但至少有一位接受者声称他为这些股票付了钱。 马塞诸塞州民主党员，领导参议院教育委员会的肯尼迪先生说由于学生助学贷款快车公司的总裁法布雷西奥巴勒斯特里所得股票属于私募股票，无论作为礼物还是出售都与联邦证券法律相违背。昨天他号召联邦管理员来调查这些交易。 参议员的助手们正在调查贷款公司和大学之间的关系。上周披露的财务援助部门管理者持有股票一事引起了关注， 因为他们有动机引导学生去这家贷款公司。而政府官员则帮助监管在联邦学生贷款项目中的借款人。 把股票转让描述为礼物的文件是由巴勒斯特里先生和其夫人签署的。这些文件与一位财务援助部门主管上周在一次访谈中的话相矛盾。 那名官员即位于奥斯丁的德克萨斯大学的劳伦斯波特说他为1500 张股票支付了一千美元。但昨晚却无法联系上波特先生并得到他对此作出的评论。 巴勒斯特里先生不仅把股票给了波特， 也给了大卫查洛，哥伦比亚研究生院及其工程学院的财务援助部门主管;凯瑟琳托马斯，南加州大学财务援助部门主管;以及马特奥方塔纳， 教育部联邦学生援助办公室的总经理。最近，以上四位都被其雇主要求离职。 参议员的幕僚说私募中每一万美元投资人可以获得一万张股票和五千张认股权证，或选择从教育借款公司，学生货款快车公司当时的上级部门，在特定日期前购买额外的证券。根据文件巴勒斯特里先生获得的价值为八万美元的股票却没保留一张。他在其称为礼物备忘录的私人清单中写道，他于2001年12月31日送给十六个人八万张股票，而那天是他成为公司总经理的前一天。</p>
