- 1收購；買下全部（或大半）股權（財經用語；management buyout 是管理層收購）
A buyout is the moment when someone takes control of a company by buying all, or nearly all, of its shares. They are not buying one desk or one shop; they are buying the right to decide what the company does. You hear it on the money pages. A management buyout is when the people already running the firm buy it themselves. A leveraged buyout is when they borrow a great deal of money to pay for those shares — a heavy, rather specialist use. The word is formal. In ordinary talk people often just say they bought the company. Though actually, the verb came first: to buy someone out is to pay them until their share is gone and they are out. The noun buyout is that act, named as a thing.

From the phrasal verb buy out.
來自片語 buy out「全部買下」，指收購。
