VOA常速英语:道琼斯指数将突破2万点大关，美国投资者备受鼓舞

Wall Street is rejoicing.Following six consecutive weeks of growth, the Dow Jones index continues in uncharted territory.The bottom line: Investors are encouraged, heading into 2017.“There’s a lot of things that are driving it: job numbers are better, unemployment’s low, the economy appears to be getting better.Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen said, ‘We’re getting better, we’re improving.We’re going to raise rates.’The sentiment out there that’s positive.”
华尔街在欢呼。在连续六个星期的增长之后，道琼斯指数持续刷新纪录。最起码，这种氛围鼓舞着投资者们进入新的一年。“有很多因素都在驱使股指上升：就业人数增加、失业率降低、经济似乎不断改善。美联储主席珍妮特·耶伦表示，‘我们正在变得更好，我们正在改善。我们将加息。此间的情绪都是正面的。”

Analysts say their optimism on Wall Street is largely driven by the hopethat economic policies in a Donald Trump presidency will boost the economy.Jason Benowitz told VOA’s Jill Malandrino he is optimistic that markets can continue to advance.
分析人士称，他们对华尔街持乐观态度，很大程度上，是因为特朗普就任总统后很可能采取一系列经济政策，来促进经济增长。杰森·本诺维茨在接受本台记者吉尔·马兰迪诺采访时表示，他对股市呈持续上行势头感到乐观。

“Investors have really zeroed in on three aspects of the Trump policy agenda.These are tax cuts, deregulation, and infrastructure stimulus.And, if enacted, those policies would give a boost to economic growth next year.We would then expect to see corporate earnings accelerate and, under that scenario, we think the market could continue to advance.”
“投资者真的很关注特朗普政策议程的三个方面。包括减税、放松监管以及刺激基础设施建设。如果这些政策得以制定，就会为明年经济增长助力。我们预计就可以看到企业盈利加速，在这种情况下，我们认为股市可能继续走高。”

Any risk to markets next year, according to Benowitz, may occur if and when Trump’s policies face resistance in Congress.“They’ll see opposition from the House Freedom Caucus as well as some Democrats in the Senate.And he won’t be able to pass sort of everything he wants, exactly the way he wants it.And some stocks have been bid up pretty dramatically on the hopes of this policy agenda, and,as it begins to run into roadblocks, we could see some reversals from the gains we’ve seen this year.”
本诺维茨表示，特朗普的政策一旦在国会遭到抵制，明年的股市就随时可能面临危险。“国会议员将关注来自众议院自由党团以及参议院民主党人的反对。特朗普无法随心所欲地通过任何他想通过的法案。目前，由于寄希望于该政策议程，一些股票已经出现了大幅上涨，一旦特朗普的政策受阻，我们可能会看到我们今年的市场获益出现反转。”

The Dow Jones Industrials first hit 10,000 points in 1999.The enthusiasm over the new milestone — 20,000 — is reflective of growth across all U.S. markets.In a research report, the U.S. Equity Strategy team at JP Morgansaid they expect the S&P 500 index of big companies to achieve 2,300 points in the near term.
道琼斯工业指数1999年首次突破1万点大关。对2万点大关这一新的里程碑的热情，反映出美国股市的增长现状。摩根大通的美国证券战略研究团队的一份研究报告称，他们预计大公司的标准普尔500指数在近期将达到2300点。

But as we head into the new year, investors will be watching closely for any uncertainty, on Capitol Hill, and in international markets.
但是随着我们进入新的一年，投资者将密切关注国会山以及国际市场的任何不确定性。
