gyration

美国联邦储备局于本周二升息,将美元的利率提高到了3.75%,达到四年以来的最高水平。尽管美国刚刚遭受了"卡特里娜"飓风的袭击,但是格林斯潘相信,飓风灾害对美国经济造成的只是短期影响,不会成为阻碍美国经济增长的长期性因素。而飓风灾害的影响在短期内将继续存在。请看报道:

High energy prices made worse by the storm "imply that spending, production and employment will be set back in the near term," Fed policymakers said. Disruptions to oil and gas supplies may add to energy price gyrations, they said.

文中的gyration是"波动"的意思。请看例句:We had to eliminate the extreme price gyration(我们需要努力消除价格的剧烈波动。)Gyration 的另一含义为"旋转,循环"。
