🍎Few funds in history can rival the returns of ProShares UltraPro QQQ, a $7 billion exchange-traded fund that seeks to triple the daily performance of the Nasdaq 100 index.
ProShares UltraPro QQQ的回報率在基金產業史上罕有匹敵,這支規模70億美元的ETF,所追求的日報酬為納斯達克100指數日報酬的三倍。

-flat market : 市場持平、橫盤
-補充用法:think twice 三思而後行

in the past few years用法 在 親愛的英文,我到底哪裡錯了? Facebook 的最佳解答
【世界盃系列:怎麼表示誰會贏、誰會輸的預料呢?】
下一回快來了!
如果你要表示「必勝軍」,就是大家覺得會贏的那個球隊,怎麼講呢?就是...
★ the favorite /ˈfeɪvərɪt 或 ˈfeɪvrɪt/
這裡的 favorite 不是「最喜歡」的意思!
而是大部分的人看好這個人/隊/黨成功的機會。
比方說,大部分的人覺得法國會打敗烏拉圭。所以:
France is the favorite.
(大部分的人覺得法國會贏。)
_______________
其實,政治、工作升遷上的競爭上也很常用,例如:
A lot of people really like this candidate. He’s definitely the favorite in next election.
(很多人喜歡這個候選人。下個大選,他是最有機會的。)
She’s the favorite to be the next manager.
(大家都覺得她一定會當選為下一個經理。)
_______________
烏拉圭呢?很多人都覺得他們死定了。這隊怎麼說呢?就是:
★ the underdog (字面翻好玩:下面的狗!感覺是,下風的狗)
Uruguay is the underdog.
(烏拉圭被看衰。)
順便提供它的K.K.音標,/ˈyʊrəˌgweɪ 或 uruˈgwaɪ/
_______________
同樣的,選舉與職場上的競爭也可以用這個字,例如:
She has some scandals in her past. She’s definitely the underdog.
(她過去有些醜聞,這個選舉大部分的人認為她一定會失敗。)
He’s only been working here a few years. He’s got to be an underdog for the CEO position!
(他在這裡只工作了幾年了。應該沒有機會擔任CEO吧!?)
_______________
好,我感覺到了你的問題,「欸,英文有類似我們“黑馬”的說法,不是嗎?」
當然有,但是使用時要小心這三點...
(1) 英文不是 black horse!我們只說 dark horse!
_______________
(2) 要和 underdog 分清楚!dark horse 的 dark 表示我們對這個人/隊/黨不太熟,我們對他們的熟悉度、認識、了解、知識很「黑暗」,這就是 dark 的意思。也就是說......
★★★知名度很低的東西才能說 dark horse ★★★
比方說,世界盃之前,球迷對英國隊很熟,但同時覺得他們沒辦法贏!所以,不能說 dark horse, 只能說 underdog.
不過,比賽前,球迷對瑞典比較不熟,他們才是 dark horse.
_______________
(3) 英文 dark horse 的用法跟中文的「黑馬」有點不一樣!
我的很多臺灣朋友說「黑馬」,他們的意思是,大家都覺得他們會輸,但最後贏了,所以他們是「黑馬」。
英文不一樣。
Dark horse 只說★★★比賽前★★★大家都對他們不太熟但同時覺得他們會輸,dark 根本沒有說他們最後輸了還是贏了。如:
The dark horse won.
The dark horse lost.
這都是很自然,100%正確的英文。
_______________
那,如果 the underdog 打敗了 the favorite 怎麼說呢?就是:
★ an upset /ʌpˈsɛt/
upset 字面上就是「翻倒」、「顛倒」的意思:我們的預料「被顛倒了」。
If Uruguay wins, it will be an upset!
(要是烏拉圭真的贏了,就會跌破大家的眼鏡!)
_______________
哇,今天內容特別豐富!我們複習一下吧!
★ 比賽前大部分的人認為贏的機會大的:the favorite
★ 比賽前大部分的人認為贏的機會小的(對他熟):the underdog
★ 比賽前大部分的人認為贏的機會小的(對他不熟):a dark horse
★ 最後 the underdog 或 dark horse 真的贏了:an upset
_______________
好了。學習上、事業上,如果英文好,不管你剛開始是 the favorite 或 the underdog,最後你還是會當贏家!
加油!

【玳瑚師父佛學論】 《夢不到妳你》
Can't Dream of You (English version below)
人間為何是人間,因還有罣念,有罣念就始終離不開一個情字。依此因緣,就跳不出紅塵,繼續被滾滾紅塵掩埋佛性,虛度光陰,塵勞混成團,想透出頭來也是難。 如此這般狀況,「死睡」者多過於「活睡」者。就算妳你想夢見的對象想給妳你夢,試問妳你又如何夢得到她他呢?
過去早已有多人嚮吾申訴,夢不到她他們欲想夢到的親眷。大多的她他們都想知道其親眷到底在何境界,現在不知過得好不好,等等。有些問過乩童,不是每位都有所要領。有些則嚮米婆求助,同樣不是每位都有所滿意。到底是乩童不靈,米婆不靈,還是...?確實是有不靈的,但有時候問題並不出現在乩童或米婆身上,而是在問事的人身上。
若干年前,就有一位「欠狗債」的妙齡女郎來到吾跟前,嚮吾請教如何才能夢到其愛狗。其狗與吾有一面之緣,因此就教她欲夢其愛狗的方法。這方法是佛所傳授,照理是不可能不成的。吾叫她取來一條五色線,「淨化」後加持密咒,然後清楚地說明用法。可是她不只沒夢著,還做了惡夢。當吾知道此事後,立馬做了一番邏輯性的審查,此女無法圓夢的原因,可分為以下三點。
一;平日的德行不夠。此點吾早已知之甚詳,證人是其家眷。
二;信力不夠。
三;此點甚為重要。那就是不如法。
吾之所以說問題出在此女,那是因為還有一點可證明。她的父親曾向吾求取法寶保佑其弟國外軍訓吉祥平安。吾以類似方法助之。其弟回來後,親口告訴父親,軍隊中有多人出事,但他卻平安回來。其父母歡喜嚮吾答謝。這並不是巧合,當中個人的德行自然地也算在其中。這也為什麼吾一直地苦口婆心,殷勤為妳你們解說,就是希望大家都能夠吉祥如意圓滿啊!
想夢到任何人都是有辦法的。但這方法中自然也必需有前段述之的三個因緣啊!要不然就得視妳你與亡者的頻率而定了。好好努力地學習,將來就不會再哀嘆,「夢不到妳你」了。
--------------------
The human realm exists because of clinging attachments, and most of it got to do with matters of the heart. As a result of these affinities, you are trapped in this never-ending cycle of sufferings, burying your Buddha nature. Your time is wasted and it is hard to break out of the drudgery of life. Under such circumstances, many are just "sleeping dead", and very few are really "awake while sleeping". How would you then be able to dream of the person on your mind even if the other party wishes to enter your dreams?
In the past, many people had complained to me that they could not dream of their deceased relatives. They mostly wanted to know how their deceased relatives were doing, and at which realm they were, etc. Some went to the shamans but not everybody were satisfied with the answers while some consulted the "rice ladies" (mediums) and went away clueless too. Does the problem lie with the shamans, the mediums or...? There are times that such answers are inaccurate and there are times the problem is not due to the shamans or the mediums but the person asking for answers.
Many years ago, there was a young lady who came to me for help. She had a deep karmic debt owed to her deceased pet dog. She wanted to see her pet in her dream and asked me to teach her how. I had a brief affinity with the dog, thus my decision to teach her. The technique was taught by the Buddha and should have worked well. I asked her to bring me a five-coloured thread. After cleansing it, I empowered it with Tantric mantras and taught her how to use it. However, not only did she not dream of her pet, she had nightmares. When I came to know of it, I made a logical deduction. Here are 3 main reasons why the young lady did not get her wish fulfilled.
Firstly, the merits of that person are insufficient. I had known this fact beforehand and it was evident to her family members too.
Secondly, her faith is not enough.
Thirdly, and an important one, the steps in the ritual were not adhered to.
I can offer another proof when I said that the problem lies with the girl. Her father once came to me to ask for a protective charm for her brother who was going overseas for army training. I used a similar technique to assist him. When the son returned home, he told his father that many of comrades had troubles during the mission but he himself managed to return safely. His parents happily thanked me. This is no mere coincidence. The moral conduct of the answer-seeker is a major contributing factor here. That is the reason why I relentlessly and painstakingly explaining to you, hoping that everyone can be auspicious.
There are certainly ways to dream of anyone that you wishes. However you would need to fulfill the three prerequisites as stated earlier in this article. Otherwise, the energy frequencies of the deceased and yourself shall determine the chance of him or her appearing in your dream. Put in the effort to learn and you will no longer be lamenting "I can't dream of you!"
