     為了借錢投資股票，成千上萬的人開設了新的保證金融資帳戶。2015年，小散戶為買入股票背負了驚人的債務，引發股災。最近幾週，保證金融資金額水平急劇上升，再次引發擔憂。 [MSC, trad.]

     Tens of thousands of new accounts have been opened for margin finance, which allows people to borrow money to invest in stocks. Mom-and-pop investors took on an alarming amount of debt to buy stocks in 2015, contributing to the crash. In recent weeks, levels of margin financing have jumped, raising concerns once again.
