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. 用中文口頭翻譯本文

在三分鐘內看懂這篇文章 然後口頭回答問題 不能查字典
需要什麼技巧和多好的程度? 外文系學生?

就算大致看懂也沒辦法很快用自己的話以英文解釋
看到後面忘了前面 感覺組織力和記性很差 還有時間壓力
只會選擇題 問答題會當機
某些單字不懂 不熟 或找不到適當意思套用 影響句意判讀和速度
很難用適當中文即時口譯文章 因為有些句子很長 和中英文差異 倒不回來
第一題是脫歐造成的影響嗎? 人權跟內文好像沒啥關係…
第五題是因為覺得買sovereign debt比較安全嗎?
時間太趕 沒記答案

推 noruas: 第一題怎麼會回答脫歐? 標題都沒看嗎.....
→ blue5566: 那答案是什麼? 我說austerity對財經的影響 老師說不對
推 noruas: 標題告訴你:樽節(austerity)恐危及人權...
→ blue5566: 但是第一題我記得老師沒提到人權
推 noruas: 內文重點在於:英國脫歐後,"歐元區將遭受樽節政策的惡果"
→ blue5566: 那不能回答脫歐或樽節對財經造成影響嗎?
→ blue5566: 老師時間到點我 還不時叫我翻譯 整個慌亂啊~

→ kaifrankwind: 確實是放在脫歐脈絡下談的啊
→ kaifrankwind: 沒在現場看很難知道到底問題出在誰身上 不過你真的
→ kaifrankwind: 很不開心的話那就別上了啊...
推 noruas: 回樓上: 你在哪看到的標題?

推 vicario837: 我不覺得簡單啊 我連austerity什麼意思都不知道(爆)
想知道你程度多好但還覺得不簡單
→ bbbtri: 如果你知道feb也知道英國多重視HR, 內文可以只掃一下
我只聽過Fed 對財經完全不熟 雖然他說這是時事 也是常識 都要知道
→ bbbtri: 第五題你算是說對了 風險較低
→ kee32: 我猜這是某補習班或家教之類的教材，個人覺得頗爛
以下是當下的情況:

完全不會字
austerity脫歐?. momentous時刻?. exacerbated超過?.
quantitative easing (QE)聽過QE 但不知意思 . Brexit 英國?

瞬間失憶字
breach分支?. pessimism很熟 想不出來. reflection只知道反映 不知道非議
inadequate不適合?. monetary 忘了.  flock to 群?. sovereign debt主權債?
deteriorate 忘了.  the yen depressed 憂鬱?

翻譯
幾天的市場不景氣之後 上週末英國投票的反映嚇到整個歐洲大陸

經濟方面而言 英國衝擊擴散到財金市場
當投資者賣掉有風險的資產像是股票
且整群到可能安全的天堂像美元和美債

反正全部被打槍...
