“黑天鹅”不是一般的物象,而是直接借用了"Black Swan Theory”或者"Black Swan Events"的隐喻,用来描述 an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight.
莫笑愚de午夜骊歌 莫笑愚 发布于2015-09-08 18:48:29
死猫的回光返照也是隐喻,起源于华尔街,用于描述金融市场(比如股市)在暴跌过程中的短暂而并不强劲的反弹,后被引申为 any case where a subject experiences a brief resurgence during or following a severe decline.
