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. 用中文口头翻译本文
在三分钟内看懂这篇文章 然后口头回答问题 不能查字典
需要什么技巧和多好的程度? 外文系学生?
就算大致看懂也没办法很快用自己的话以英文解释
看到后面忘了前面 感觉组织力和记性很差 还有时间压力
只会选择题 问答题会当机
某些单字不懂 不熟 或找不到适当意思套用 影响句意判读和速度
很难用适当中文即时口译文章 因为有些句子很长 和中英文差异 倒不回来
第一题是脱欧造成的影响吗? 人权跟内文好像没啥关系…
第五题是因为觉得买sovereign debt比较安全吗?
时间太赶 没记答案

三分钟看完后就要直接回答问题且不能再回去找答案？还要翻译？我大胆估计95%外文系学生无法做到

可以找答案 但已经先叫你了 大家在等你 会紧张~每题都是随机叫人回答 答不出来 就是等你

其实只要知道austerity的意义就非常好懂1-5甚至只需看前二句就能作答.Y

如果可以先看题目再看文章会简单很多 可以抓重点

英文新闻的最重要讯息都在第一句话了. 真的很简单..

不然如果不知austerity是什么意思的话一开始就慌了吧

老师是趁我们阅读时才写题目在黑板 想问n大的程度多好?

第一题怎么会回答脱欧? 标题都没看吗.....

那答案是什么? 我说austerity对财经的影响 老师说不对

标题告诉你:樽节(austerity)恐危及人权...

但是第一题我记得老师没提到人权

内文重点在于:英国脱欧后,"欧元区将遭受樽节政策的恶果"

那不能回答脱欧或樽节对财经造成影响吗?老师时间到点我 还不时叫我翻译 整个慌乱啊~这种难度适合怎样程度的人上 才不会觉得太挫折?

文章原文标题就是Economic implications of Brexit确实是放在脱欧脉络下谈的啊没在现场看很难知道到底问题出在谁身上 不过你真的很不开心的话那就别上了啊...

回楼上: 你在哪看到的标题?我看到的标题是UK's austerity in breach of human rights重心显然是围绕在austerity, Brexit只是陪衬

我想知道要练到多好的程度才能开心上课

你有每天看英文新闻的习惯吗? 这篇文章其实很基本..

我只有看杂志 但不曾3分钟看完一篇n大 如果你是接近多益或托福满分 我会觉得我满正常的~

just google "Economic implications of Brexit"it's from Bernanke's blog. One funny thing is,it seems to be UN that declares UK's austerityin breach of human rights...

有点像高中生上大学课程，来问难度如何，然后一堆博后的说“这很简单呀！”科科

我收回文章原文标题这句话 我现在觉得原PO这篇是东拼西凑 不知道打哪生出来的

一堆没有意义的问题，回答这些问题的基本要求，不是英文能力，而是经济学

"why does he said..." ??????

我不觉得简单啊 我连austerity什么意思都不知道(爆)

如果你知道feb也知道英国多重视HR, 内文可以只扫一下第五题你算是说对了 风险较低

我猜这是某补习班或家教之类的教材，个人觉得颇烂

austerity在文中有以括号注解，就那个意思新闻内文第一句，Britain后有没有少个that？没有that整句语意会有点好笑

没有that 有that的话就没动词了

每天都有在注意金融市场经济的，随便瞄一下也知道要讲什么

个人建议: 1.关键字必须注释. 像austerity,如果不懂,怎么回答得出问题? 2.新闻(尤其财经)不宜当作即席练习学生什么概念都没有,讲得出话来吗?我大学时教授是用给成年人看的小故事,内容跟生活相关,也方便大家发表意见. 故事主题如婚外情,过劳死,拜金女等重点是要能够激起说话的兴致.

老师是说 不会的字都要能依照前后文推出来

我觉得难度比我们的杂志再简单一点点（Advanced <-我看不懂QQ

不会的字都要可以看前后判断出来。。。 那我给他一篇都是术语的论文呢？ 很多时候不是看前后就都可以知道字的意思 可以这样就不需要字典跟百科全书了
