    justify（1）证明...是正当的；为...辩护；convince people that something is just；show to be reasonable or provide adequate ground for 例句：No argument can justify a war. 没有任何理由能为战争辩护 （2）对...作出解释defend, explain, clear away, or make excuses for by reasoning 举例： The Prime Minister has been asked to justify the decision to Parliament. 要求首相就这一决定向议会作出解释。 ⚠️感觉这个词很难有准确的中文翻译，根据语境可以进行合理的判断， 记住英语解释to give or to be a good reason for；合理化/给出理由、讨个说法 来源：https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/9LdYp_zV42P01wNMVkxfDw

    penny stock: 便士股票；仙股 Stocks sold at less than one dollar. They are sold by companies in financial trouble, new companies, and ones removed from a larger market. The sales are recorded on a pink sheet. 指市值跌至1 美元以下的股票。在美国股市上如果股票的价格长期低于某一价格就会被摘牌(指证券上市期届满或依法不再具备上市条件) 一般会买仙股的投资人通常抱持巧取投机的心态，因为这类股票的上市公司通常是中小型公司，有些更没有实质业务，偶然靠消息推动股价。由于买入成本低廉，可以以小博大，以赚取较高的利润，所以部份投资者喜欢炒作仙股。
