1064 THEORY AND PRACTICE IN LANGUAGE STUDIESuse vocabulary freely. Teachers should always take the context in vocabulary teaching into consideration.It is also an efficient way for them to master the meanings of new words and choose appropriate words to expressthemselves in writing or communication.With the limited space, not enough materials, preliminary research and other factors, the paper is only a tentativestudy of the application of context. And the classification and analysis of word proceeded will probably not present acomplete pattern. More examples and words will be put out in the further research.REFERENCES[1] Da Weidong, (1998).

They meandifferently from ordinary adjectives, so they have their own semantic meanings that can’t be literallyunderstood and translated. Otherwise misunderstandings and misinterpretations will inevitably occor.Therefore it is imperative the adjectives of securities English be carefully and profoundly studied and skillfullygrasped in order that this kind of English can be faithfully and correctly understood and translated andproficiently applied.Index Terms—adjectives, securities English, semantic meaning, flexibly, cultureI. INTRODUCTIONAdjectives are words that describe a person or a thing. The adjectives of securities English are used to describe andmodify nouns of securities English. Securities include stocks, futures and bonds ect..The adjectives of securities Englishare extremely flexible and special in their semantic meanings, so we are to pay special attention to the semanticmeaning of securities English. If we want to understand correctly securities English, first we are to know its adjectives,because we can’t get their meanings by looking up in dictionaries. Here I dwell on the main features of the semanticmeaning of the adjectives of securities English.II. DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISAdjectives usually have special semantic meaning. We can’t make sense of the adjectives of securities English solelyby their literal meanings. Here are the details of the use of the adjectives of securities English.A. Adjectives Are Used to Modify Listed Companies and Unlisted Companies1. The private company goes public to raise money to fund the company. The public company can sell the shares tothe public and it is should conform to strict rules and regulations. It is to have a board of directors and report financialinformation every quarter and be overseen by governing bodies similar to SEC -- Securities Exchange Commission.The private company here does not stand for the company that belongs to a private person but the company that hasnot been listed, so we can’t buy or sell the shares of its stock of the company. In fact lots of state-owned companies arestill private companies. The public company is not a company that belongs to the public but that the shareholders canbuy or sell the shares of its stock of the company. A certain public companies still belong to a private person or someprivate people despite the fact that the companies have been listed.2. Companies can be listed quickly by reverse merger, that is, Companies buy a shell company that has been listedto get listed. After the process the two companies become one public company that can sell the shares to the public.Reverse merger here does not refer to do something opposite but it is a process that a private company is listed bybuying shell company that has been listed.B. Adjectives in Their Root Forms or Comparative Forms Are Used to Express Their Superlative Forms1. China's direct investment in the United States hit a record high through the first nine months of 2012, despiteelection-year rhetoric against the country and a congressional report alleging that Chinese tech companies posed apossible threat to Us national security. (Weekend edition October 20-21, 2013, page 9, China daily)2. Median sale price of homes in Washington, D.C., hits record high3. Stocks fall to monthly low on growth concernsHere high means the highest and low the lowest.C. Adjectives Are Used to Modify the Stock Market1. Now the stock market is a feverish market.A feverish market refers to a stock market where prices change rapidly and no direction is easily identified.2. ChiNext Index closes almost flat. The ChiNext Index, tracking China's Nasdaq-style board of growth enterprises,dropped 0.08 percent, or 0.73 point, to close at 882 points on Friday.A flat market refers to a market that is typified by a horizontal price movement because of little or no market activityin the security.© 2013 ACADEMY PUBLISHER
