中国股市最近的上涨吸引了不少外国投资者入场，请看本报昨日的报道：

China’s stock market is starting to sizzle again, and that’s drawing in foreign investors.

The Shanghai Composite Index climbed 3.3 percent last week, its best performance since June, while the small-cap ChiNext gauge is on the brink of a bull market.

Overseas investors pumped a net 26.8 billion yuan (US$3.8 billion) into China’s domestic stock market through exchange links last week, the most since February.

报道中的on the brink of就是“濒临”的意思。例如：

In the space of 14 years, Apple has transformed itself from a computer firm on the brink of bankruptcy into a stockmarket superstar.

短短的14年间，苹果从一个濒临破产的电脑公司变成股市的超级巨星。
