Interest Rate

你以前可能不知道，生活里不起眼的 Interest rate（利率）會(huì)如此重要。

對(duì)個(gè)人而言，High interest rate 會(huì)提高你的融資成本，從而阻止或推遲你買房、買車的決策；當(dāng)然，High interest rate 也會(huì)鼓勵(lì)你增加儲(chǔ)蓄。

更宏觀的層面上，Interest rate 會(huì)影響企業(yè)的投資決策，比如企業(yè)在高利率的經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境中可能會(huì)推遲建設(shè)新工廠。

我們來看2個(gè)例句：

The Bank believes that a 5 percent interest rate is already high enough to return inflation to its target - and I believe this too.

銀行堅(jiān)信，百分之五的利率已經(jīng)夠高，足以讓通脹返回目標(biāo)區(qū)間——鄙人對(duì)此也深信不疑。

When one of his children got sick, he took a loan from a moneylender at an onerous interest rate.

當(dāng)他的一個(gè)孩子生病了，他從一個(gè)放債人那里得到了一筆高利貸。
