When Donald Trump was asked recently about the threat of rising interest rates on US government debt, he told baffled(困惑的，茫然的) reporters: “The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will.”
最近，当唐纳德·特朗普被问及美国国债利率上升的威胁时，他对困惑的记者们说：“最终的干预手段是我们的军队。如果我们不得不动用它，我们会的。”
Perhaps not surprisingly, his bellicose(好战的，好斗的) words did not soothe fractious(暴躁的，易怒的) bond markets, and his resumption of the bombing campaign against Iran only made matters worse(使情况更糟).
也许并不令人意外，他好战的言论并未安抚躁动的债券市场，而他恢复对伊朗的轰炸行动只会让情况更糟。
The past fortnight has seen a wave of instability sweeping through government bond markets in major economies – with knock-on effects for millions of borrowers.(过去两周，一波不稳定浪潮席卷主要经济体的政府债券市场，对数百万借款人产生了连锁反应。) The interest rate, or yield(收益率), on 10-year US government borrowing hit(达到（某水平）) 4.8% on Friday, up from 4.64% 10 days ago. At one point midweek, the 30-year yield touched its highest level since 2008.
