多家游戏上市公司发布回购公告，表示将通过集中竞价交易方式回购部分公司股票。请看本报昨日的报道：

A slew of smaller Chinese gaming companies have announced share buybacks, plans seen as an attempt to reassure investors after the market was spooked by regulatory moves to clamp down on consumer spending on games.

Last Friday, regulators published draft rules that would ban online games from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on a game for the first time or if they spend several times on a game consecutively. All are common incentive mechanisms in online games.

报道中的clamp down on就是“打压”，即“采取高压行动制止有害或不希望见到的事情发生”。例如：

The government is clamping down on teenage drinking.

政府正采取行动打击青少年饮酒。
