Americans who have been grappling(努力应对，挣扎) with the higher cost of living over the last few years now face another issue: trouble in the US bond market that could mean elevated(偏高的，升高的) costs are here to stay(成为常态，持续存在).
过去几年一直在应对生活成本上涨的美国人，如今又面临一个新问题：美国债券市场的动荡可能意味着高昂的物价将持续下去。
US government bonds – known as treasuries(美国国债) – are supposed to be the most stable type of investment vehicle(投资工具). But investor concerns over issues including rising inflation, the continuing war with Iran, and the US’s record national debt have shaken the market and slowed demand for US treasury bonds.(但投资者对通胀上升、与伊朗的持续战争以及美国创纪录国债等问题的担忧，已经动摇了市场，并抑制了对美国国债的需求。)
美国政府债券——即所谓的国债——本应是最稳定的投资工具。但投资者对通胀上升、与伊朗的持续战争以及美国创纪录国债等问题的担忧，已经动摇了市场，并抑制了对美国国债的需求。
Loans for homes, cars and credit cards, along with money businesses borrow to keep things running(维持运营), could get more expensive if the sell-off(抛售) in the bond market continues.
如果债券市场的抛售持续下去，住房贷款、汽车贷款、信用卡贷款，以及企业为维持运营而借入的资金，都可能变得更加昂贵。
