Collateralize

    以…作抵押

    中证报报道，国内银行从6月末开始，自总行层面布置各分行和总行营业部对资金进入股市情况摸底，从理财资金对接结构化产品、定向增发产品到股权质押融资等等，全面排查、上报。请看本报周五的报道：

    Chinese banks have been investigating their exposure to the stock market from wealth management products and loans collateralized with stocks, China Securities Journal reported Thursday, citing unidentified bank officials.

    The report did not identify any banks by name, but said that many banks had been ordered by their headquarters to conduct the checks.

    One bank executive told the newspaper that the lender's headquarters had launched the investigation in late June.

    报道中的collateralize就是“以…作抵押”，collateral作名词是“抵押物”，作形容词是“附加的”。例如：

    Governments have increasingly relied on land to collateralize borrowing.

    政府越来越多地依靠土地为贷款质押。
