In finance, a futures contract (more colloquially, futures) is a standardized contract between two parties to buy or sell a specified asset of standardized quantity and quality for a price agreed upon today (the futures price or strike price) with delivery and payment occurring at a specified future date, the delivery date. The contracts are negotiated at a futures exchange, which acts as an intermediary between the two parties. The party agreeing to buy the underlying asset in the future, the "buyer" of the contract, is said to be "long", and the party agreeing to sell the asset in the future, the "seller" of the contract, is said to be "short". The terminology reflects the expectations of the parties—the buyer hopes or expects that the asset price is going to increase, while the seller hopes or expects that it will decrease in near future.

以上是维基的期货解释。简单的中文意思是: 期货是买卖相方承诺的一项未来交易，交易通过期货市场进步，买方的合同叫 long，卖方的合同叫 short。期货通常包括普通货物、货币、股票、股票旨数甚至利息等等。

远期的英语例子: A long maturity future contract would be more safe and profitable.
