很早就睡了，9点，妈妈还在和人聊着什么。忽然醒了，床在剧烈摇晃，外面大人在喊，我昏昏涨涨，也不知道怎么做，大约是呆了。直到停止摇晃了，才出了门去。我妈骂我死猪一样。
大人议论纷纷，甚至谈起10多年前的龙陵大地震。过了10分钟，大家觉得没事了，一起摸黑进了客厅，却一下子突然又摇晃起来，众人狂奔。那夜定是没有家了，可是我们在哪儿入睡，我怎么也想不起来了。

BASE METALS: LME Metals Rebound As Mkt Awaits News From China
By Devon Maylie
12 May 2008
LONDON (Dow Jones)--Base metals traded on the London Metal Exchange rebounded Monday as participants took advantage of a nervous market to buy following the major earthquake that rocked China early in the day.
The full effect of the 7.8-magnitude tremor - centered in the southwest province of Sichuan - is still unknown, but traders and analysts said they were expecting the situation to worsen in the coming days as more news filters out.
In the meantime, market players will likely cover short positions, said a London trader.
Another London broker said the Chinese earthquake will have a bigger impact on the LME base metals than anyone anticipates. He said the majority of operations in the area of the epicenter are lead and zinc underground mines.
Until news comes from China, market players will use the situation to push prices in their own preferred direction, the broker said.
LME copper closed the kerb up $161 from Friday's kerb at $$8,260 a metric ton, LME aluminum was up $47 at $2,927/ton, LME lead was up $54 at $2,245/ton, LME zinc was up $24 at $2,178/ton, LME tin was up $315 at $24,900/ton. The metals gained as news of deaths and power station closures filtered out of China, raising the possibility of halted metals production.
"By (Tuesday) you might find all base metals prices are higher and everyone will be saying it's because of this," a trader said.
LME nickel bucked the trend and ended down $175 at $26,500/ton.
With a holiday in continental Europe, volumes were relatively light at the LME, traders said.
Tin hit a record high of $25,000/ton and will continue to trade towards $27,000/ton, Barclays Capital said. Tin is getting support from ongoing supply concerns, with largest tin producer Indonesia consistently plagued by smelter shutdowns.
Another London broker said base metals were higher as fund money flowed into the metals component of an index as a U.S. dollar hedge.

Now that happy moment between the time the lie is told and when it is found out.
