>Film pulled from HBO Max
HBO下架电影'乱世佳人'
"Gone with the Wind" was removed from the HBO Max streaming platform Tuesday, as mass protests against racism and police brutality prompt television networks to reassess their offerings.
受到近期反对种族主义和警察暴力执法的大规模抗议活动影响,多家电视网络对节目进行重新评估;HBO Max流媒体平台6月9日下架了影片《乱世佳人》。
The multiple Oscar-winning US Civil War epic released in 1939 remains the highest-grossing movie of all time adjusted for inflation, but its depiction of contented slaves and heroic slaveholders has garnered criticism.
以美国内战为背景的史诗级影片《乱世佳人》于1939年上映,曾拿下多个奥斯卡奖项。将通胀影响考虑在内的话,该片一直是有史以来最卖座的影片,但片中对安心满足的奴隶以及英勇的奴隶主的刻画一直存在争议。
"'Gone with The Wind' is a product of its time and depicts some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that have, unfortunately, been commonplace in American society," an HBO Max spokesperson said. "These racist depictions were wrong then and are wrong today, and we felt that to keep this title up without an explanation and a denouncement of those depictions would be irresponsible."
HBO Max的一位发言人说:"《乱世佳人》是当时那个时代的产物,描绘了一些种族偏见,不幸的是,这些偏见在美国社会司空见惯。这些带有种族主义的描述在过去和现今都是错误的,我们认为如果对那些描述不进行解释和谴责,继续保留,是不负责任的。"

>Interest rates kept near zero
美联储将维持近零利率
The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at the record-low level of near zero amid mounting fallout from the COVID-19-induced recession, and projected interest rates to remain at the current level through at least 2022.
由于新冠肺炎引发的经济衰退造成的影响变得日益严重,美联储6月10日将基准利率维持在接近零的创纪录低位不变,预计至少到2022年,利率都将维持在当前水平。
"The ongoing public health crisis will weigh heavily on economic activity, employment, and inflation in the near term, and poses considerable risks to the economic outlook over the medium term," the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed's policy-making body, said in a statement after concluding a two-day meeting.
美联储政策制定机构联邦公开市场委员会在为期两天的会议结束后发表的一份声明中说,目前的这场公共卫生危机将在短期内重压经济活动、就业和通胀,并对中期经济前景构成相当大的风险。
In light of these developments, the committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 0.25%, the statement read.
鉴于上述事态的发展,委员会决定将联邦基金利率维持在0-0.25%。
In a separate statement, the Fed projected Wednesday that the US economy will shrink by 6.5% in 2020, followed by a 5% gain next year.
美联储6月10日在另一份声明中预测,2020年美国经济将萎缩6.5%,2021年将增长5%。
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell told reporters that the economic projections were made with the general expectation that the economic recovery will begin in the second half of the year and last over the next couple of years.
美联储主席鲍威尔向记者表示,上述经济预测是在普遍预期的情况下做出的,即经济复苏将在今年下半年开始,并将持续数年。
