收購： 指獲得一公司的多數股權或控制股權，通常通過購買股票的方式來實現。收購有善意的，也有惡意的。根據潛在的收購者在市場上所買進的股票的多少，有時需要根據交易所的規(guī)定，向其他持股人發(fā)出正式的收購要約。如果該潛在收購者（參見RAIDER）是惡意收購，收購目標（又稱目標公司）可采取多種策略進行阻止（參見POISON PILL ）.
Takeover: The acquisition of a majority or controlling interest in a company, normally through the purchase of shares. A takeover may be friendly or hostile. Depending on how many shares a potential acquirer buys in the market; a formal offer to other shareholders may be required under stock exchange regulations. If this potential acquirer (see raider) makes a hostile takeover bid, the takeover target (also called target company) could put into effect a variety of strategies aimed at fending off the attempt (see poison pill).
例證：邱先生二月份去世，享年87 歲。他的去世激起了市場對其家族可能處置這些股份的言論。出售這些價值28 億美元的股份可能會引發(fā)對該銀行可能的收購要約。
EXAMPLE: The death of Mr Khoo, 87, in February sparked market talk that his family might dispose of the stake, valued at US$2.8bn. Its sale could trigger a possible takeover bid for the bank.
