【英音模仿秀】推特上市 小鸟高飞

模仿文本：When Twitter first announced its intention to float, it reckoned¹ its shares were worth between $17 and $20. Yesterday, it announced that a huge demand meant the price was likely to be 25% more, between $23 and $25 a share. That would make the company worth an incredible² $17.4 billion - quite a bid for a company that's just seven years old and has never made a profit you might think. 

 

译文：当推特第一次宣布它要上市的打算时，它估计自己一股值17~20美元。昨天，推特宣布，庞大的需求量意味着这个价格很可能上涨25%以上，涨至23到25美元一股。这会使得这个公司难以置信地价值1740万美元，对于一个刚刚成立七年并且从来没有想你想象那样盈过什么利的公司来说是很高的价格了。
