The unemployment rate has fallen to 7.6 percent from 8.1 percent, and the average monthly pace of payroll gains has risen to 194,000 in the past six months, compared with 97,000 over the six months before the bond buying started.
失業率已經從 8.1% 降至 7.6 %,而過去六個月,每月平均就業增加的速度已經達到每月十九萬四千人,相較於債券購入開始之前的六個月,每月只增加九萬七千人。
這句話非常直接, 沒有艱深的用語, 也沒有美國人的特殊說法。
average monthly pace of payroll gains: 每月平均就業增加速度。 payroll gains 是 「就業數的增加」,pace 是指這個就業增加的 「速度」。
over the six months: 在那六個月的期間。 「over + 特定時間」 是指在一段特定期間內,這裡有特定 the six months,後面用 before the bond buying started 來說明所謂特定就是 「在債券購入開始之前的那六個月」。
