閱讀時間3分鐘然後再回答問題 BBC NEWS Bernanke: UK's austerity in breach of human rights The former head of the Fed said that UK's austerity measures are in breach of human right, leading to possible market pessimism. 29 JUNE \ BBC After several days of market pessimism, a few reflections on last week's momentous vote in Great Britain shocked the entire Continental Europe. Even more obvious now than before, the biggest losers will be British themselves. Global economists could expect that an economic prosperity is unlikely to take place in several years, with tremendous uncertainty and a significant slowdown on UK's growth exacerbated by falling asset values (houses, commercial real estate stocks). As the former head of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) during the Great Recession from 2006 to 2014, Ben Bernanke, the most influential central banker of our age, is one of the rare people to emerge from the financial crisis with their reputation enhanced. The chairman helped prevent a recession from spreading worldwide through policies such as low interest rates and quantitative easing (QE). But not everyone appreciated his efforts. Politicians in the west partly blamed him for his inadequate policies, which brought the whole Eurozone into a deeper economic turmoil. Instead, Ben Bernanke quickly responded to the criticisms that the austerity in most industrialized countries such as the US, UK, Eurozone, limited the effectiveness of monetary stimulus. The governments in the Eurozone were too obsessed with austerity (spending cut, tax rise) and consequences will soon emerge shortly after the UK left the EU. Economically speaking, the Brexit shock is being spreading mostly through financial markets, as investors sell off risky assets like stock and flock to supposed-safe havens like the dollar and the sovereign debt of the U.S. Among the hardest hit countries is Japan, whose battle against deflation could deteriorate as the yen depressed since 2013. Question: 1. What is this report mainly about? 2. Who’s Ben Bernanke? Why does he said the austerity measures weren’t good? 3. What does it mean by the term “austerity”? 4. What does it mean by the term “market pessimism”? 5. Why did the author mention sovereign debt of the US? 6. 用中文口頭翻譯本文在三分鐘內看懂這篇文章然後口頭回答問題不能查字典需要什麼技巧和多好的程度? 外文系學生? 就算大致看懂也沒辦法很快用自己的話以英文解釋看到後面忘了前面感覺組織力和記性很差還有時間壓力只會選擇題問答題會當機某些單字不懂不熟或找不到適當意思套用影響句意判讀和速度很難用適當中文即時口譯文章因為有些句子很長和中英文差異倒不回來第一題是脫歐造成的影響嗎? 人權跟內文好像沒啥關係… 第五題是因為覺得買sovereign debt比較安全嗎? 時間太趕沒記答案 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.170.186.108 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Eng-Class/M.1467473382.A.F5D.html
