1."封顶""保底"如何翻译？我自己猜测，所谓"封顶"是不是指最高极限，那我可不可以翻成TO BE MAXIMUM,"保底"是否与MINIMUM有关呢？
2."北京人""深圳人"之类，我可否直接在地名后加ER呢？
再次叨扰，谢谢！

谢提点！“保底”为“floor”，如“floor price”则为“底价”。

I am not..

familiar with Chinese financial terms, but if you explain to me
what they stand for I might be able to make a guess of what
the English term is.
Is 保底 related to the automatic selling of a security when
its price drops below a certain value ? If so, the English
term is "stop loss". If not, then I don't know. Sorry.
Could figure out what your second question is. May be the
real experts on this forum can help you out on that. I just
fool around here having fun.

I meant "Could not" not "could". This must be the 100000001th time in my life that I have written a positive for a negative.

Exaggerated :-)

You mean 100 million times!
Suppose: You've lived 50 springs; You've been speaking from the very moment of your birth and around the clock (even in your dreams).
Then, you must have made such a confusion at an average rate of:
2 million times a year;
5480 times a day;
228 times a hour;
and, 3.8 times a minute! Kidding, no offence!

为您尝试说明:-)

“封顶”、“保底”，一般常见于奖金等现金分配等方面。
假如将一家“三产”承包，基本工资由上头支付，奖金则根据利润提留部分自行支配，有的公司实行的就是奖金根据实绩分发的“上不封顶、下不保底”政策--多时多发，无时不发，看你好不好好干:-)
供您参考！

打不过, 逃!
这本来就是很头疼的. 用 er 还是 ese, an, i, ish... 习惯大于理由. Kosovo 打仗以前, 谁也不知道那儿人应该叫 Kosovar.
不好直接说时, 想办法绕着说. "深圳人"您可以说 Shenzhen citizens, habitants, residents, people from the city of Shenzhen etc.
另, "北京人" 的成字是 Pekinese, Beijinger 恐怕没有.

虽然是习惯,总有点规律吧?

北京狮子狗Pekingese 和 深圳人 Shenzhenian

究竟可否直接在地名后加er来表示“...人”，这类问题，还是WQ说 得好：“习惯大于理由”，其实并没有简单的YES/NO答案。而任何 “习惯”都先要有个开头，一旦开的好头被大众接受并传播开去，就成“习惯”， 新辞典就得把它收录，否则就会自然淘汰。
根据London > Londoner、New York > New Yorker类推，把深圳人叫
Shenzhener 未尝不可，尤其 Shenzhen 已经从名不见经传的渔村成 了国际商业的暴发户，深圳人形成了地位独特的“深圳文化”，看来给“深圳人”起个英语“雅号”不仅有必要而且有可能被广为传播。究竟是叫 Shenzhener 还是 Shenzhenian 或别的什么，就看将来 传媒筛选定夺了。我个人认为 Shenzhenian 语音感觉较佳，因为 “圳”为去声，说Shenzhenian，重音维持在第二音节，可完全不失 “深圳”原音效果。“Shenzhener”则不然，第二音节不可重读， 效果必然把“深圳”变为“深枕”。
至于北京人，确实曾有定称Pekingese。但遗憾的是现今英语世界极 少把它和我们伟大的首都居民联系起来，因为西方宠物世界最受欢迎的狗种之一就是Pekingese (Pekinese)，即原产北京的小狮子狗。 北京人恐怕不愿被人误以为这宠物吧？怎么办？如今世界都管北京 叫 Beijing，把北京人叫 Beijinger 不好听，理由如上述。大概
Beijingian 还可供选择。不过，在没有“约定俗成”之前，保险的 方法还是“绕着走”，说 He is from Beijing. / He's a native of Beijing. 都挺保险。
相应的问题：如 Cantonese 指粤语(俗称广东话)或讲粤语的广东 人，是历史造成的。如今广州虽叫 Guangzhou，却根本没必要因此把
Cantonese 改为 Guangzhounian 或Guangdongese之类。就算有某人
出于“爱国主义”鼓吹这样改，肯定还是行不通的。

(i)Hmm.. wonder who that "某人" is..(ii) and by the way...(iii) a question
作者：The Yeti - 2000/07/01 22:24:42

BTW
(ii) The way people in different province of Canada are addressed as
provides a good illustration of the various ways this addressing
is done.
We have Canadians, Birtish Columbians, Albertans, Manitobans,
Ontarians, Quebecois, Maritimers, New Bruwickers, Newfies (oops,
I mean Newfoundlanders)...
Just make sure you don't call people in Hong Kong as Hong Kongeese. (
Yes, 2 "e"s. Supposed to be a joke, but they don't appreciate it !)
(iii) Question
On a more serious note, I have a question for you guys.
I have often heard people say "The Chinese people" when I felt
that the single word "Chinese" is sufficient. E.g. Roast duck
is a favourite food for the Chinese people. Won't "Roast duck
is a favourite food for the Chinese" be sufficient ? The word
"Chinese" is also a collective pronoun meaning people of Chinese origin, isn't it ? Please staighten me out
on this .
