We are hoping this to be an easy and simple lesson to introduce options to you. By following Options Basics' articles, you should be able to understand options and how to utilize options to either profit or protect your stock.
我们希望这是一节简单易学的课程，可以向您介绍各种选项。通过阅读期权基础知识的文章，你应该能够理解期权，以及如何利用期权获利或保护你的股票。
Going into options basics, the first thing that we should be discussing is what options are.
进入期权基础，我们首先要讨论的是期权是什么。
A stock option is a contract that gives the holder the right to buy (a call) or sell (a put) on a particular stock, at a predetermined price (the strike price), on or before a particular date (the expiration date). For everyone who buys a stock, there is someone who sells it. Likewise, for every option (call or put) buyer, there is an options seller.
股票期权是一种合同，赋予持有者在特定日期(到期日)或之前以预定价格(执行价)买入(看涨)或卖出(看跌)特定股票的权利。对于每个买入股票的人来说，总会有人卖出它。同样，对于每个期权买家(看涨或看跌)，都有一个期权卖家。
For example, Adobe is at $461 a share at this moment, and I think it will continue going up in the near future, what should I do?
例如，Adobe目前的股价为每股461美元，我认为它在不久的将来还会继续上涨，我该怎么办？
After clicking on the Exp. Dates, there should be a drop-down list with different expiration dates for all the options.
在单击Exp.日期，所有选项都应该有一个具有不同到期日期的下拉列表。
In order to demonstrate, let's just say that I believe ADBE will go up to $500+ a share by December.
为了证明这一点，我只能说，我相信到12月，ADBE将涨至每股500美元以上。
In this case, I will be looking at options that expire on or after December.
在这种情况下，我将关注12月或之后到期的期权。
And because I think that ADBE will go up to $500+ a share, I will select Call options with a strike price of around $500.
由于我认为ADBE将涨至每股500美元以上，我将选择执行价在500美元左右的看涨期权。
This is what I see:
这就是我所看到的：
We can see that the options price is $10.72, this means in order to buy 1 contract(unit) of this call option I need to pay $10.72*100=$1072 right now.
我们可以看到期权价格是10.72美元，这意味着为了购买1份合约(单位)的看涨期权，我现在需要支付10.72美元*100=1072美元。
Today, we are simply learning to check option prices.
今天，我们只是在学习检查期权价格。
In order to know how to properly pick which options to buy, we have to further learn to understand the options table.
为了知道如何正确选择要购买的期权，我们必须进一步学习理解期权表格。
