刚刚恰好看到的 XD
这是VOA的 words and their stories
http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/archive/2008-04/2008-04-21-voa1.cfm
里面第九段和第十段有说
The meaning of a bear market is thought to come from an old story about
a man who sold the skin of a bear before he caught the bear. An English
dictionary of the sixteen hundreds said, "To sell a bear is to sell what
one has not."
Word experts dispute the beginnings of the word bull in the stock market.
But some say it came from the long connection of the two animals -- bulls
and bears -- in sports that were popular years ago in England.
