@ 51421 新能源
A: 你最近在忙什麼？
nǐ zuìjìn zài máng shénme?
What have you been busy with lately?
B: 炒股啊，現在新能源板塊大熱，炒新能源股就算賺不了，也虧不到哪兒去。
chǎogǔ a, xiànzài xīn néngyuán bǎnkuài dàrè, chǎo xīn néngyuán gǔ jiùsuàn zhuànbùliǎo, yě kuī bùdào nǎr qù.
Playing the stock market. Right now, new energy related stocks are all the craze. Even if you don't earn any money when you buy new energy stocks, you won't lose much either.
A: 什麼新能源，我看到最後也是賠錢貨！
shénme xīn néngyuán, wǒ kàn dào zuìhòu yě shì péiqiánhuò!
What 'new energy'? I think in the end it's still just another 'money-loser'.
B: 現在全世界都在喊低碳經濟，發展新能源，政府又下血本大力扶持相關的企業，所以很多人都看好這個市場。
xiànzài quánshìjiè dōu zài hǎn dītàn jīngjì, fāzhǎn xīn néngyuán, zhèngfǔ yòu xiàxuèběn dàlì fúchí xiāngguān de qǐyè, suǒyǐ hěn duō rén dōu kànhǎo zhè ge shìchǎng.
Right now the whole world is calling for a low-carbon economy and is developing new energy. On top of that, governments are investing a lot of their own capital in order to support related industries, so a lot of people think the market will improve.
A: 說實話，我不太瞭解其中的奧妙，但總感覺那是幾百年以後的事了。和我們現在關係不大。
shuō shíhuà, wǒ bùtài liǎojiě qízhōng de àomiào, dàn zǒng gǎnjué nà shì jǐ bǎi nián yǐhòu de shì le. hé wǒmen xiànzài guānxi bù dà.
To tell you the truth, I don't really understand it all, but I always feel as though it's a few hundred years away; some far off science-fiction that doesn't have much to do with us right now.
B: 誰說的，現在一些大公司已經著手開發相關項目了，比如太陽能、風能、地熱能還有海洋能什麼的，這些叫可再生能源。有些新能源已經投入實際使用了。
shéishuōde, xiànzài yīxiē dà gōngsī yǐjīng zhuóshǒu kāifā xiāngguān xiàngmù le, bǐrú tàiyángnéng、 fēngnéng、 dìrènéng háiyǒu hǎiyángnéng shénme de, zhèxiē jiào kězàishēng néngyuán. yǒuxiē xīn néngyuán yǐjīng tóurù shíjì shǐyòng le.
Who says? Right now a lot of big companies have already set about developing related programs. For example, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, ocean energy, and so on. These are called renewable resources. Some new energy has already been put into real use.
A: 哦，對了，我以前還聽說，好像還能用垃圾發電是吧。呵呵，真有趣。
ò, duìle, wǒ yǐqián hái tīngshuō, hǎoxiàng hái néng yòng lājī fādiàn shì ba. hēhē, zhēn yǒuqù.
Oh, yeah. I've also heard before that apparently trash can generate electricity, right? Heh-heh, that's really interesting.
B: 是啊，隨著技術的提高，一切皆有可能。
shì a, suízhe jìshù de tígāo, yīqiè jiē yǒu kěnéng.
That's right. As technology improves, anything is possible.
A: 那煤炭、石油、天然氣是不可再生的嗎？
nà méitàn、 shíyóu、 tiānránqì shì bùkězàishēng de ma?
Then coal, fossil fuel and natural gas aren't renewable?
B: 當然了，這些傳統能源用完就沒有了。據估計，再過個五六十年，煤炭和石油就要被開採完了。到時候，全球就會陷入能源危機。
dāngrán le, zhèxiē chuántǒng néngyuán yòng wán jiù méiyǒu le. jù gūjì, zài guò ge wǔ liùshí nián, méitàn hé shíyóu jiùyào bèi kāicǎi wán le. dào shíhou, quánqiú jiù huì xiànrù néngyuán wēijī.
Of course not. After these traditional energy sources are used up, they're no more. According to estimates, after another 50 or 60 years, coal and fossil fuels will all have been completely extracted. When that happens, the whole world will fall into an energy crisis.
A: 那也好啊，到時候也能少些礦難了。不過，我覺得這種新能源技術成本太高了，企業能賺得到錢嗎？
nà yě hǎo a, dào shíhou yě néng shǎo xiē kuàngnàn le. bùguò, wǒ juéde zhèzhǒng xīn néngyuán jìshù chéngběn tài gāo le, qǐyè néng zhuàn de dào qián ma?
Well, that's not bad either. When that happens there can be less mining accidents. The thing is, I think the cost of these new energy resources is too high. Can those industries make any money?
B: 那當然，那些可都是朝陽產業。
nà dāngrán, nàxiē kě dōu shì zhāoyáng chǎnyè.
Of course they can. Those are real growth industries.
A: 你倒別說，看看現在的城市汙染，的確是到了該更新換代的地步了。
nǐ dào bié shuō, kàn kan xiànzài de chéngshì wūrǎn, díquè shì dào le gāi gēngxīnhuàndài de dìbù le.
Not only that, but take a look at the pollution in cities. Surely it's to the point that the old should be replaced with the new.
B: 可不是嘛，現在每個國家都非常重視環境和能源問題，都在喊節能減排。不管怎麼樣，這種更新換代肯定是有前途的。就像以前電燈取代了蠟燭，打火機代替了火柴一樣。
kěbushì ma, xiànzài měige guójiā dōu fēicháng zhòngshì huánjìng hé néngyuán wèntí, dōu zài hǎn jiénéngjiǎnpái. bùguǎn zěnmeyàng, zhèzhǒng gēngxīnhuàndài kěndìng shì yǒu qiántú de. jiù xiàng yǐqián diàndēng qǔdài le làzhú, dǎhuǒjī dàitì le huǒchái yīyàng.
Exactly. Right now, every country is placing great importance on problems of environmental protection and new energy. They're all calling for energy conservation and waste reduction. No matter what, this kind of replacing certainly has promise. It's like in the past when light bulbs replaced candles, and lighters were used in place of matches.
A: 看來新能源股適合長期持有，關係到未來經濟發展的命脈！
kànlai xīn néngyuán gǔ shìhé chángqī chíyǒu, guānxì dào wèilái jīngjì fāzhǎn de mìngmài!
It seems it's best to hold new energy stocks for a long period of time. They're tied up with the lifeblood of economic development in the future!
B: 反正我是覺著新能源企業的實力肯定會越來越強的。
fǎnzhèng wǒ shì juézhe xīn néngyuán qǐyè de shílì kěndìng huì yuèláiyuè qiáng de.
Either way, I think new energy industries will definitely become stronger and stronger.
A: 嗯，回頭我把手上的幾隻垃圾股也換成新能源股票吧。
ng4, huítóu wǒ bǎ shǒushang de jǐ zhī lājīgǔ yě huànchéng xīn néngyuán gǔpiào ba.
Yeah. In a little bit I'll take these few 'trash-stocks' and change them for 'new energy' stocks.
