Our neighbor popped in for a short call.

我们的邻居突然来做短暂的拜访。

It was a very short call but I felt the respect.

这是一个很短的电话，但是我感受到了尊重。

Also, a combination of a long futures contract and a short call, called a synthetic short put.

同时，买进期货合同和卖出一个看涨期权的组合，叫做组合卖出看跌期权。

I had short call options for my customer, which gave them the right to purchase stock, and I also owned equity to hedge my risk.

我向客户卖出看空期权，让他们有权买入股票，同时我也买入股票对冲自己的风险。

It was a call, very short call, saying 'congratulations, Sir, on the victory'... and why should some other nation be able to say I can't take a call?

那只是一通电话，很短的一通电话，祝贺我的当选……为什么其他国家能干预我接一个电话？
