　校園炒股

　　What the drawing is trying to express is very conspicuous! The eye�瞔atching scene depicted has become a common sight on college campuses in recent years. Speculating about the stock market is no longer a new thing among college students and continues to become more popular. A kind of stock trading league has even been set up at several universities.

　　However, should a university student invest in the stock market? Just as every coin has two sides, there are also two sides to a student’s decision to invest and trade in the stock market. On the negative side, following the stock market is very time-consuming, and, as a student’s main priority is to study, may undermine academic pursuits. Furthermore, students often do not have the financial means to take on large ventures in the stock market, and thus could hardly withstand potential losses. On the other hand, if stock market investment is economically feasible for the student, it is a different story. Assuming one can manage his or her time well enough to keep up with studies, investing in the stock market can be a great way to get first-hand financial experience, while at the same time preparing one for life after college.

　　Based on the points discussed above, personally, I hold the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. After pondering the question on several occasion, I have finally arrived at conclusion that stock market investment should not be recommended to most college students. （239 words）

　　這幅圖所要表達的含義顯而易見！上圖所要描述的場景在當今大學校園非常普遍。投資股票對于當今的大學生來說已經不是什么新鮮事，而且也越發流行，甚至一些股票交易協會都已在一些大學建立起來.

　　然而，大學生是否應該投資股票市場呢？正如任何事物都有兩面，針對大學生投資交易股票也有兩種不同的看法。從負面的角度來看，學生的主要任務是學習，投身股票市場特別耗費時間，會削弱學生的學業追求。而且，學生很少會有能夠在股票市場冒險的金融知識，因此幾乎不能承擔潛在的損失。然而，如果股票交易對于學生經濟上來講是合算的，那就另當別論。假如學生能夠合理的調配時間，不至于影響到學業，投資股票市場會是很好的獲得第一手金融經驗的方式，而且也為畢業之后的生活打下基礎。

　　基于上述討論，我個人認為弊大于利。在多次思考這個問題之后，我比較終得出結論，對于大部分大學生來說，不應該進行股票交易。
