Will Credit Risk Weigh Down Debt Markets? (1/2)
( 本次听写约162词 )
【我的听写】
Liquidity is the ease with which an investment can be sold and turned into money. For example, when a stock is traded easily, the market for it is said to be liquid. Liquidity can also suggest the ease with which money can be raised in debt markets. And this is where concerns are being raised. Offering credit always carries some risk that the loan will not be repaid. Now experts are saying that investors are as concerned about debt risk as they have been since 2001. One way to measure investors' concern is by their willingness to buy new debt investments. Recently, banks, led by J.P. Morgan, postponed the sale of 12 million dollars in bonds for the carmaker Chrysler. The bond offering was a part of deal by private equity company Cerburos Capital Management to buy Chrysler from German carmaker Dimler. Reports say the deal is not in danger. But it could mean an increase in borrowing costs.

总结：
Liquidity is the ease with which an investment can be sold and turned into money. For example, when a stock is traded easily, the market for it is said to be liquid.
资产流动指轻松地转让投资并让其变成现金。比如，当一只股票不费力地进行买卖时，这种交易就称变现交易。

Offering credit always carries some risk that the loan will not be repaid. Now experts are saying that investors are as concerned about debt risk as they have been since 2001.
资产流动也意味着债务市场的债台更容易高筑，这也正是担忧增加的所在。提供贷款通常也带来不偿还贷款的风险。专家们认为目前投资者处于2001年那样对债务风险的担忧之中。
One way to measure investors' concern is by their willingness to buy new debt investments. Recently, banks, led by J.P. Morgan, postponed the sale of 12 million dollars in bonds for the carmaker Chrysler.
界定投资者担忧的一个方法为看他们是否愿意去购买新的债权投资。最近，由J.P. Morgan领导的银行推迟了Chrysler汽车制造商1200万美元债券的销售。
The bond offering was part of a deal by private equity company (Cerburus) Capital Management to buy Chrysler from German carmaker (Daimler). Reports say the deal is not in danger. But it could mean an increase in borrowing costs.
债券为交易的一部分，该交易指私人股本Cerberus资本管理公司从德国汽车制造商Daimler购买Chrysler债券。报告指出该交易没有陷入僵局，但这也可能意味着借款成本的增加。
