par break

基本解释

Reserve Primary, an independent money market fund, held Lehman paper and, since it had no deep pocket to turn to, it had to “break the buck” – stop redeeming its shares at par.
獨立貨幣市場基金Reserve Primary持有雷曼票據，因沒有資金雄厚的機搆可以求助，該基金不得不“跌破1美元”——停止按麪值贖廻其股票。

Of those who finished before the leaders even teed off, only two players managed to break par.
