普遍的预测是,Facebook股价会在第一天交易日内飙升,结果证明这观点是错的。股价只上涨了23美分,大起大落后仅上涨0.5%。现在为时还早,但也不会是个好开端。这表明投资者认为Facebook的价值并不值1040亿美元的估价。
World leaders are gathering for talks in the United States expected to be dominated by the crisis in the eurozone. President Obama, the host of the G8 summit at Camp David, has already said he wants to focus on measures to promote growth. That policy is shared by the new French President Francois Hollande, who's had his first meeting with Mr Obama. Paul Adams reports from Washington.
世界领导人齐聚美国,他们可能主要谈论欧元区的危机问题。总统奥巴马支持了戴维营举行的G8峰会,他说希望集中精力制定促进发展的措施。首次与奥巴马会晤的法国新总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德对此表示同意。Paul Adams在华盛顿报道。
This was President Obama's first opportunity to take the measure of the new French leader. He said he was looking forward to discussing what he called a responsible approach to fiscal consolidation coupled with a strong growth agenda. For his part, Mr Hollande said as he has before that growth must be a priority. But if the two leaders sounded similar notes on the global economy, the subject of Afghanistan revealed differences. Mr Hollande repeated his election pledge to withdraw combat troops by the end of this year. Mr Obama said it was important that the allies maintained their efforts to build security in Afghanistan.
