[双语]中国儿童网游公司淘米美国IPO破发

The U.S. market for initial public offerings showed signs of strength Thursday despite broader market volatility, as a U.S. data efficiency specialist priced high and traded well while a Chinese company managed to go public despite recent doubts about offerings from that country. 
尽管大盘出现波动，但对首次公开募股(IPO)的公司来说，美国股市周四仍显示出强劲迹象，原因是美国一个数据效率专营公司的股票定价较高，交易情况不错，而一家中国公司则在最近该国赴美IPO受到怀疑的情况下得以顺利上市。
   
Chinese children's media company Taomee Holdings Ltd. sold its stock at the low end of its range and declined.
中国儿童娱乐公司淘米网络科技有限公司(Taomee Holdings Ltd.)的发行价定在指导价格区间低端，股价随后下跌。
   
Though Taomee's first-day decline is nothing to brag about, the fact that the company was even able to complete an IPO is notable. Chinese stocks that trade in the U.S. have been pummeled in recent weeks amid investor concerns about corporate governance and accounting issues, and trading has been suspended in several companies.
虽然淘米上市首日便遭遇股价下跌并不是什么值得夸耀的事情，但值得注意的是，该公司竟然能够顺利完成IPO。投资者近几周担心在美上市的中国公司的企业治理和会计问题，这些公司的股票交易因此受到影响，有几家公司遭停牌。
   
'That we were able to get it done says a lot about our company,' said Taomee's chief financial officer, Paul Keung.
淘米首席财务长Paul Keung说，我们能上市，这件事本身足以说明淘米的实力。
   
Another plus on Taomee's side was a show of support in the form of a concurrent private placement of $10 million of stock with Saban Media Ventures LLC, which committed to buying the shares at the IPO price.
淘米的另一个优势是，得到了Saban Media Ventures LLC以私募方式购买其1,000万美元股票的支持。后者曾承诺，以IPO发行价购买淘米的股票。
   
Taomee's stock closed at $8.23 a share on the New York Stock Exchange, down 8.6% from its IPO price of $9. A total of 7.2 million shares were sold at the low end of its expected $9 to $11 range.
在纽约证券交易所(New York Stock Exchange)挂牌的淘米上市首日收于每股8.23美元，较9美元的发行价下跌了8.6%。该公司IPO的指导价格区间为9美元至11美元，共发售了720万股。
   
Based in Shanghai, Taomee specializes in children's entertainment and media, making most of its profit from online games where children use characters to navigate virtual worlds. Total net revenue nearly doubled in the first quarter to $12.4 million from a year earlier and quintupled in 2010 to $36 million from 2009. Net income in the first quarter nearly tripled to $9.1 million and net income in 2010 hit $21.6 million compared to $1.3 million in 2009.
总部位于上海的淘米是一家针对儿童的娱乐和媒体公司，营业利润主要来自网上游戏，儿童可在这些游戏中扮成卡通人物形象在虚拟世界中遨游。今年第一季度，淘米总净收入同比增加了近一倍，至1,240万美元，净利润增加了近两倍，至910万美元。2010年，该公司总净收入较2009年增加了四倍，至3,600万美元，净利润达到2,160万美元，2009年的公司净利为130万美元。
