  1. It's Graham here, and I don't know how to say this, but we are fucked.

    我是格雷厄姆,我不知道该怎么说,但我们完蛋了。

  2. As a few hours ago, for the first time since twenty twenty-three, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by twenty-five basis points, officially marking the end of a rate-cutting era and raising a question that almost no one was prepared for: What if this is just a one-time rate hike, but instead the beginning of a new rate-hiking cycle?

    就在几个小时前,美联储自2023年以来首次加息25个基点,正式标志着降息时代的结束,并提出了一个几乎没人准备好的问题:如果这不仅仅是一次性加息,而是新一轮加息周期的开始呢?

  3. After all, inflation is now moving again in the wrong direction.

    毕竟,通胀现在又开始朝着错误的方向发展了。

  4. The government is adding more than two trillion a year to the national debt, and worst of all, not even a bond market bailout is making a single difference.

    政府每年增加超过两万亿美元的国债,最糟糕的是,即使是债券市场救助也毫无作用。

  5. Or basically, the Fed might keep interest rates higher at the exact moment that the economy could least afford it.

    或者说,美联储可能会在经济最无法承受的时候保持高利率。
