　　“There is a broad halo from Alibaba. It will give people confidence that the IPO marketbroadly is alive and well and still a place to invest,” says Mark Hantho, global head of equitycapital markets at Deutsche Bank.

　　“阿里巴巴散发出一片大范围的光晕。这让人们相信IPO市场整体上是活跃和健康的，还是一个适合投资的地方，”德意志银行(Deutsche Bank)全球股权资本市场主管马克•汉索(Mark Hantho)说。

　　“The positive aura will ripple through the market. It won’t necessarily have staying power, butit should lift those about to come to market.”

　　“积极的氛围会扩散到整个市场。这种氛围虽未必能够持续下去，但应该能够提振那些即将入市者的信心。”

　　根据Dealogic的数据，准备之中的IPO交易总额约200亿美元，从行业来看多种多样。

　　These listings will round off a successful year for IPOs. Even before Alibaba, US-listed IPOs wererunning at their fastest pace in terms of number of deals and dollar value since 2000.

　　这些IPO交易会给今年的IPO市场画上一个完美的句号。即便在阿里巴巴IPO之前，以交易数量和融资金额计，今年也是2000年以来美国的IPO市场发展速度最快的一年。

　　Companies poised to list include

　　“Near term you will see a pick-up. Many companies deliberately timed their deals to avoidpricing alongside Alibaba,” says JD Moriarty, head of Americas equity capital markets at Bankof America Merrill Lynch.

　　“近期你将看到交易上升的状况。许多公司制定上市时间时有意避免与阿里巴巴同期定价，”美银美林(Bank ofAmerica Merrill Lynch)的美国股权资本市场主管JD•莫里亚蒂(JD Moriarty)说。

　　“It is the same advice we might give around a holiday. You want the majority of the marketingafter the distraction,” he added.

　　“我们在节庆前后也会给出同样的建议。你希望在吸引注意力的事情之后进行绝大部分的交易，”他补充说道。

　　One question for the market is whether all of that Alibaba stock will saturate investors to thepoint of damping appetite for other, less high profile deals. Mr Moriarty, for one, is notworried.

　　市场的一个问题是，阿里巴巴的股票是否会把投资者一股脑吸引过去，降低他们对其他关注程度低的交易的需求。对此莫里亚蒂并不担心。
