- [Jeff] When you watch or listen to the news,

have you noticed that there are a few topics

While maybe easy to understand the weather

stock market news can feel like a secret code.

股市新聞可以感覺到像一個祕密代碼。

You know, some people make a lot of money somehow, but how?

你知道，有些人不知怎麼賺了很多錢，但怎麼賺的？

If the stock market confuses you, you're not alone.

如果股市讓你感到困惑，你並不孤單。

2/3 of adults are not financially literate.

It's not your fault schools don't teach this stuff,

這不是你的錯，學校不教這些東西。

Imagine taking a company and breaking it into

And when we say a lot of tiny pieces, we mean a lot.

當我們說很多小塊的時候，我們意味著很多。

Amazon, for instance, is made up of over 500 million shares.

以亞馬遜為例，它是由5億多股組成的。

When you buy a stock, you're buying one or more

當你買入一隻股票時，你買入的是一隻或多隻

you can only buy shares of public companies.

A public company is one whose shares are available

on a public market called a stock market.

在一個叫做股票市場的公開市場上。

While many large national companies are public,

In fact of the approximately 600,000 U.S. companies

事實上，在美國約60萬家公司中。

with at least 20 employees, less than 1% are public.

至少有20名僱員，不到1%是公眾。

and wanna live out your Willy Wonka fantasies

通過擁有一家糖果公司的股份。

the company behind M&Ms, Snickers, and Skittles, too bad.

M&Ms、士力架和巧克力糖背後的公司，太糟糕了。

It's a private company so you can't buy any shares of it.

這是一傢俬人公司，所以你不能買它的任何股票。

Instead, you might have to settle for Hershey's,

反之，你可能不得不解決好時的問題。

and so offers its shares in the stock market.

Now that we know what a stock is, let's go back to the news.

現在我們知道了什麼是股票，我們再來看看新聞。

the price for pieces of public companies increased.

This doesn't mean every company's share went up,

這並不意味著每家公司的股價都漲了。

people generally paid more for pieces for a company today

如今，人們普遍為一家公司支付了更多的費用。

But when you hear the opposite, the stock market went down,

但當你聽到相反的聲音時，股市就會下跌。

that means that on a whole the trader's paying less

這意味著，總體上交易者付出的代價較少。

for stocks today than they were yesterday.

You may hear things like the Dow was up today,

你可能會聽到這樣的話：今天道指漲了。

or the S&P was down today, but what does that mean?

或標普今天下跌，但這意味著什麼？

The Dow and the S&P, also known as the S&P 500,

道指和標普，又稱標普500指數。

are bundles of stock that are actually considered

是成捆的股票，實際上被認為是

to be representative of the stock market as a whole.

Think of it as an appetizer sampler platter

with some pieces a lot of different things.

The Dow is a collection of 30 different companies,

道瓊斯指數是由30家不同的公司組成的。

而標準普爾500指數反映的是股票

While people often use the Dow or the S&P 500 as stand-ins

雖然人們經常用道瓊斯指數或標準普爾500指數來代替

it is important to realize the stock market

is not a standard for how the economy is doing.

This may be counterintuitive since many of us associate

這可能會有悖於直覺，因為我們很多人都會聯想到...。

經濟是一個龐大而複雜的系統。

So big, so complex that it's actually hard to even define.

這麼大，這麼複雜，其實連定義都很難。

It encompasses different metrics like the employment rate,

它包含了不同的指標，如就業率。

and a myriad of other factors all interrelated

Because the economy as a whole is so big and complex

因為整個經濟是如此的龐大和複雜

but the stock market is relatively easy to understand,

many people use a stock market as a substitute

in their minds for the economy as a whole.

Think of the entire economy like a football stadium.

把整個經濟看成是一個足球場。

about what's going on inside the football stadium:

but you never say the entire football stadium

In fact, there are times when the stock market

For instance, during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic,

例如，在2020年冠狀病毒大流行期間。

The answer's in the fact that a booming stock market

only directly benefits those who own stock.
