魔鬼辞典之金融危机
in Wangtam, on 2009-09-23
随着金融危机从"狼来了"变成活生生的磨难，金融业的一些特有隐语也进入到了日常对话中。对于不熟悉华尔街这个小圈子的人来说，这种出乎意料的变化可能让他们不快。
安布罗斯•比尔斯(Ambrose Bierce)在1906年出版的魔鬼辞典《愤世嫉俗者词汇手册》(The Cynic's Word Book)中对当时的政治和文化用语给出了独出心裁的解释。按照这种精神，《华尔街日报》也在雷曼兄弟(Lehman Brothers)倒闭一周年之际编写了一个缩写词、新词和滥用词入门手册，这些词可以让人通俗、形像地了解雷曼倒闭给世人留下的烂摊子。
