随着交易和结算时滞问题的解决，沪港通终于开始吸引更多国际机构投资者，也有望促进深港通的实现。请看本报昨日的报道：

    A landmark program connecting Shanghai and Hong Kong stock markets is finally starting to attract more global institutional investors, as a lag in trading and settlements that posed a risk to investors has been ironed out.

    More institutional activity on the platform will likely speed up reforms and the rollout of another program linking Shenzhen and Hong Kong, market participants say.

    报道中的iron out就是“消除、熨平”。例如：

    We should iron out the existing problems before more plants are built.

    在建新工厂之前，我们应该解决存在的问题。
