Lehman shares dip in spite of earnings surge

　　雷曼兄弟（Lehman Brothers）昨日公布，公司第二季度收益大增47%，但其股价却大幅下挫，原因是投资者担心波动较大的市场和不断上升的利率，会中止华尔街投行近来利润大增的趋势。

　　Lehman Brothers yesterday reported a 47 per cent jump in second-quarter earnings but its shares fell sharply amid investor fears that volatile markets and rising interest rates could cut into Wall Street's recent run of blockbuster profits.

　　这家华尔街投行表示，公司第二季度收益为10亿美元，合每股收益1.69美元，而上年同期的收益为6.83亿美元，合每股1.13美元。该公司固定收益产品交易业务业绩强劲，抵消了债券承销收入大幅下降的负面影响。

　　The Wall Street bank said it earned $1bn， or $1.69 a share， in the second quarter， up from $683m， or $1.13 a share， a year earlier. Strong fixed-income trading results offset a sharp drop in debt-underwriting revenue.
