有头晕心慌的，内科、外科、神经外科都有的，可能和天气太热有关系的。

Ms. Zhu, Passenger

竺女士旅客

My child is on summer vacation, and we are going to Chengdu. Our residential compound is in low-risk area, so it is easier for us to travel.

小孩放假了，我们打算去四川成都玩，我们这个小区是低风险小区。

3.INFLATION PUTTING PRESSURE ON A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES

全球多国面临着高通胀的压力

U.S. stocks fell on Wednesday as a hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation【通胀】 report unnerved investors. Nine of the 11 primary SP 500 sectors ended in red. The squeeze is being felt outside of the United States, as a wider economic crisis is having an effect on a number of countries around the world. Lei Shuran has more.

美国通胀率高于预期，市场担忧情绪加剧，导致本周三（7/13）美股暴跌。标准普尔500指数（SP 500）的 11 个主要板块中有9个以红色（下跌）收盘。蝴蝶效应下，全球多国都面临着汇率、利率和高通胀的多重压力。记者雷舒然带来更多详细报道。

The Bank of Canada on Wednesday raised its benchmark interest rate by a full percentage point, surprising markets with its biggest rake hike since 1998 in a bid to tame soaring inflation.

加拿大央行昨天宣布大幅加息100个基点，将基准利率上调至2.5%。这超出了此前普遍预期的75个基点的幅度，成为自1998年8月以来加拿大央行最大幅度的单次加息。

Tiff Machleman, Bank of Canada Governor

麦克勒姆加拿大央行行长

Increase of this magnitude【幅度】in one meeting is very unusual. It reflects very unusual economic circumstances. Inflation is nearly 8%, a level not seen in nearly forty years.

加息1%的幅度十分不寻常，这反映了当下不同寻常的经济状况，通胀率接近8%为40年来未见的高水平。

The bank governor said Canada’s economy is running too hot and the central bank needs to choke off the excess demand and bring prices back to normal levels. In Asia, the Japanese government is concerned about the yen’s recent slide, and plans monitor the currency market while working closely with the Bank of Japan. The yen declined to 138 per U.S. dollar this morning. In Europe, Germany’s Federal Statistical Office has stated that the country’s annual consumer price inflation stood at by 7.6% in June, slightly below the half-century high of 7.9% that it registered the previous month. Price jumps for energy and now also for food, are fueling inflation in Europe’s largest economy.

麦克勒姆强调，目前加拿大经济过热，工人和许多商品服务均陷于短缺状态，央行希望通过减少需求，来平抑物价，使通胀回落至2%。日本政府对近期日元贬值感到担忧，今天早盘，日元对美元汇率一度跌至138日元兑换1美元，创下1998年9月以来新低，因此政府计划在与日本央行合作的同时密切关注外汇市场。欧洲多国同样饱受通胀高企之苦。德国联邦统计局表示，德国6月通胀率为7.6%，比前一个月微降0.3个百分点，仍处于较高水平。当下的能源价格和食品价格上涨，正在为欧洲最大经济体的通货膨胀推波助澜。

Fratzscher, Director of the German Institute for Economic Research

弗拉茨舍德国经济研究所所长

We will have to deal with higher prices for energy and food in the coming years. This means that all measures must be based on whether they permanently【永久性地】 increase people’s incomes, and the only mechanism for this is permanently higher wages and permanently higher social benefits for the people who are unemployed or on a pension 【退休金】.

未来几年，我们将一直应对能源和食品价格的不断上涨，这意味着，所有的措施都必须建立在是否能永久增加人们的收入的基础上，而实现这一目标的唯一应对的办法就是永久性地不断提高工资，为失业者或退休人员永久性地提供更高的工资和社会福利。

In Latin America, Panamanians have been taking to the streets to show their general dissatisfaction with the government for more than a week over fuel prices that have nearly doubled. In Argentina, the country’s main farm associations launched a 24-hour grain and livestock trading halt on Wednesday in protest of the government’s imposition of high tax rates, currency controls and a scarcity of diesel that has hit farmers during the harvest season.

在拉美，同样因为生活成本上升，巴拿马民众的街头抗议已经持续超过一周，以显示他们对油价几乎翻了一番的不满。阿根廷主要农业协会周三发起24小时谷物和牲畜罢市活动,以抗议高税率、货币管制和柴油稀缺，这些措施在丰收的季节对农民来说是很严重的打击。
