The US Federal Reserve voted to raise interest rates on Wednesday for the first time since 2023 as the central bank continues to fight to tamp down inflation(努力遏制通胀).
美联储周三投票决定加息，这是自2023年以来的首次，该央行仍在继续努力遏制通胀。
The Fed’s open market committee voted unanimously(一致地) to raise its benchmark interest rate(基准利率) by a quarter-percentage point to a range of 3.75% to 4%. This is the first time the Fed has raised rates since July 2023 and potentially sets Kevin Warsh, the current Fed chair, on a collision course with Donald Trump.(这是美联储自2023年7月以来首次加息，可能使现任主席凯文·沃什与唐纳德·特朗普发生冲突。)
美联储公开市场委员会一致投票决定将基准利率上调25个基点至3.75%–4%区间。这是美联储自2023年7月以来首次加息，可能使现任主席凯文·沃什与唐纳德·特朗普发生冲突。
“The plain fact(明摆着的事实) is that inflation is too high and has been for too long,” Warsh said on Wednesday. “This summer’s inflation readings do not tell me that underlying(潜在的，根本的) trends have meaningfully improved(实质性改善).”
“明摆着的事实是，通胀太高了，而且持续太久了，”沃什周三表示。“今年夏天的通胀数据并没有告诉我，潜在趋势已有实质性改善。”
