The plunge in Chinese stock markets has created widespread uncertainty and losses for millions of investors who only recently had enjoyed remarkable gains. The drop-offs have been so steep that many shares stopped trading after their declines hit the maximum 10 percent daily limit 中国股市的暴跌带来了广泛不确定性，致使数百万最近才收益颇丰的投资者遭受损失。由于股市大幅下跌，很多股票在跌幅达到了每日10%的跌停限度后停止交易。 But one market has boomed amid the gloom: gallows humor. On social media the market routs and fumbling government efforts to stop them have triggered an explosion of jokes, as Chinese investors try to find ways to ease the pain. 但有一个市场在黑暗中蓬勃发展： 残酷幽默。股市大跌和政府笨拙的救市举措在社交媒体上引发了戏谑浪潮，中国投资者试图寻找缓解痛苦的方法。 “Actual record of the Chinese government’s market rescue,” reads one Twitter post that accompanies a clip of a tow truck righting a flipped car, only for the car to roll off the road. 一条推文称这是“中国政府救市实录”，文字下方配的动图显示一辆拖车扶正倾覆的汽车，结果汽车却冲出马路。 One joke, posted by Song Ma, looks at what sort of securities could soldier on in such a negative market: “11:10 a.m. on July 7, 2017 was a dark moment that will inevitably be written into the history of the A shares market, not because the Growth Enterprise Index was down 5.71 percent, but because 51 out of 100 stocks on the index halted trading, and 48 were stopped because they dropped the maximum allowed. Only Lepu Medical, which was down 8.97 percent, hasn’t stopped trading. Only a company that treats mental illness hasn’t stopped trading….” |
