PSBC is China’s fifth largest lender, but the biggest by number of

The majority of shares in the state-owned bank will be bought by so-called
cornerstone investors, suggesting weak demand from traders.
这家国有银行的大多数股份将被所谓的“基石投资者”购买，这表明交易者的需求疲软。
Cornerstone investors subscribe ahead of the stock market listing to buy a
certain number of shares and in return agree to hold them for a minimum period
of time.
基石投资者们可以在上市之前购买一定量的股份，但是相对的也要同意在一个最短时间内持有这些股票不得抛售。
While initially used to draw in big investors, cornerstones are now largely
seen as a way of limiting the risk that the listing might fail.
虽然基石最初是用来吸引大投资者，但是现在大多认为是一种用来对上市失败风险加以限制的措施。
In the case of PSBC, a group of six cornerstone investors will buy about
72% of the shares on offer.
在邮储银行的例子中，一个由6名基石投资者组成的集团将削价购买72%的股份。
Market volatility

The share listing comes as the region sees a hefty drop in share sales,
with the first half of 2016 the weakest period since 2008.

Analysts say the share sale will help PSBC raise funds at a time when
China’s economy is slowing and bad loans are rising.
分析人士表示出售股份将会帮助邮储银行筹集资金，因为目前中国经济正在放缓，不良贷款正在增加。
China’s slowing growth, as well as global uncertainty over the US election
and the UK leaving the European Union, has also contributed to an uncertain
climate for investors.
中国增长放缓、以及美国大选和英国脱欧所造成的全球不确定性也导致了投资者的不稳定性。
