Individual Japanese investors are keeping a lid on the yen’s rise by selling the currency in volumes that are estimated to be larger than hedge-fund buying of the currency.
日本个人投资者目前大量卖出日元，估计其卖盘数量超过了对冲基金对日元的买盘，因而遏制了日元的上涨。

In the past week or so, Japanese individuals have significantly increased foreign exchange margin trading to buy dollars and sell yen to take advantage of the interest rate differentials.
在过去一周左右的时间里，日本个人投资者买进美元、卖出日元的外汇保证金交易明显增加，以利用这两种货币之间的利差获利。

Forex margin trading, which allows investors to trade several times their own funds put down as collateral, has surged in popularity among Japanese individual investors in the past two years.
过去两年，外汇保证金交易在日本个人投资者中的受欢迎程度明显上升。这种交易允许投资者交易数倍于其保证金的外汇。
