inside trading: 内线交易 [ 2006-07-11 10:00 ]
7月10日,轰动一时的“台开”非法股票交易案宣告侦结起诉,包括陈水扁女婿赵建铭及其家人在内,共有13人名列被告。台北地方检察署以涉嫌“内线交易”的罪名起诉扁婿赵建铭,要求判处其有期徒刑8年。
请看《中国日报》相关报道:Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian's son-in-law was indicted Monday on
charges of insider trading.
Prosecutors are seeking an eight-year jail term for Chao Chien-ming, a doctor at
the prestigious Taiwan University Hospital, local television stations said.
报道中的“insider
trading”就是让扁婿栽跟头的"“内线交易”。Insider常用来指“了解内幕的人”,源于形容词“inside”(内线的,潜伏作奸细的),如:inside
facts/story(内幕,内情);inside man(内线)。
另外,词组on the inside 可用来指“知情”或“核心成员”,如: I'm not that much on the
inside.(我并不深知内情。) He gave his men the feeling of being really and truly on
the inside.(他让手下人感到他们确实是心腹。)
