时间：2019-01-08 作者：英语课 分类：VOA双语新闻 2008年1月
Asian stocks recouped some of their steep losses of the past two days after market confidence received a shot in the arm from the U.S. Federal Reserve. But stock analysts 1 say the markets may remain volatile 2 despite Tuesday's U.S. interest-rate cut.
亚洲股票上扬，部分收复了过去两天暴跌的损失，这是因为美联储的减息决定刺激了股市信心。但是股票分析人士说，尽管美国星期二降低了利率，但是股票市场可能依然会动荡不安。
Most Asian indexes jumped within minutes of opening Wednesday as investors 3 heaved a sigh of relief after two days of panic selling.
大多数亚洲指数在星期三开盘几分钟后开始攀升，因为投资者在两天的惊慌抛售后，松了一口气。
On Tuesday, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point - its biggest cut in more than two decades.
星期二，美联储削减利率0.75%，这是20多年来最大的一次利率减幅。
However, Ben Kwong, strategist at KGI Capital Asia in Hong Kong, says it is not yet clear if the rate cut will have a long-term impact.
但是香港的凯基金融亚洲有限公司的经济策划人邝先生说，目前还不清楚这次降息是否会带来长期效应。
"I think the rate cut by the Fed is a little bit late and the market is expecting more," he said. "I think today the rebound 4 is just mainly due to short covering and not due to genuine buying. I think investors still have to see if the market can stabilize 5 at the current level."
他说：“我认为这次美联储的降息决定有点儿太晚，而且低于金融市场的期望。我认为今天的反弹主要是股票抛空后的短暂补仓，并非是真正的买进。我想投资者还在观望，看看股市能否持稳在目前的水平。”
Japan's Nikkei 225 index climbed more than two percent Wednesday, after losing more than nine percent in two days. South Korea's KOSPI rose more than one percent, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 surged 4.4 percent.
日经指数在过去两天下跌9%多之后，星期三攀升了2%以上。韩国股市指数上升了1%以上，而澳大利亚跃升了4.4%。
Some stock analysts say the Fed's surprise intervention 6 Tuesday signaled that the toll 7 on the U.S. economy of the home mortgage crisis may be worse than expected.
一些股市分析人士说，美联储星期二出人意料地干涉行动显示，房贷危机对美国经济的恶劣影响可能比预期严重。
They expect another rate cut next week when the Federal Open Market Committee - which sets U.S. monetary 8 policy - meets again.
他们预计，下星期决定美国金融决策的‘美国联邦公开市场委员会’再次开会时，可能会再次削减利率。
As the specter of a U.S. recession loomed 9, investors in the region have been selling shares in companies viewed highly vulnerable to a U.S. economic slowdown - mainly Asian exporters. In Wednesday's rallies, some exporters rose along with the rest of the market.
随著美国经济萧条阴影的迫近，亚洲投资者抛售那些被认为将受美国经济减缓影响极大的公司，主要是亚洲出口公司的股票。星期三一些出口企业的股票随股市一起回升。
