The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised its benchmark interest rate by a half percentage point, marking the sharpest rate hike since 2000 as it takes more aggressive steps to rein in the country’s highest inflation in four decades. The Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed"s policy-making body, decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 0.75 to 1 percent, the Fed said in a statement after a two-day policy meeting. 美聯儲決策機構聯邦公開市場委員會5月4日在結束為期兩天的貨幣政策會議后發(fā)表聲明，宣布加息50個基點，將聯邦基金利率目標區(qū)間上調到0.75%至1%之間。這是自2000年以來加息幅度首次達到50個基點，顯示美聯儲正加大政策力度，以抑制40年來最高通脹水平的沖擊。

The committee also decided to begin reducing its holdings of Treasury securities, agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities on June 1.與此同時，美聯儲宣布將從6月1日起開始減少持有的美國國債、機構債務和機構抵押貸款支持證券。

The findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention came after researchers examined blood samples from more than 200,000 Americans and looked for virus-fighting antibodies created by infection, not vaccines. 研究人員檢測了超20萬美國人的血樣，從中尋找感染病毒而非接種疫苗產生的抗擊病毒的抗體。

They found signs of past infection rose dramatically between December and February, when the more contagious Omicron variant surged through the US. 他們發(fā)現，曾感染病毒的跡象在12月至2月期間急劇增多，這段時間也是傳染性更強的奧密克戎毒株在美國各地肆虐的時期。

For Americans of all ages, about 34 percent had signs of prior infection in December. 在所有年齡段的美國人當中，約有34%在12月表現出曾感染病毒的跡象。
