参考译文:考虑到人类投资者会犯很多错误,比如在市场暴跌以后卖出,交易过于频繁,相信自己能跑赢大盘,所以,理财的事最好还是留给计算机来处理。
背景介绍:这篇文章是最新的经济学人商论中的一篇文章。讲到的就是现在市场出现了机器人理财公司,这给很多传统的理财公司带来了威胁,但是这种威胁现在也在减少。

这是经济学人的Special report: The young中谈到在非洲:
Young, single, idle males are dangerous.
Work and wedlock can tame them.
工作和婚姻能驯服那些无所事事的年轻的,危险的单身汉。
再比如:rats and debts
