美国宣布对伊朗新一轮制裁 市场同步走低

US unveils a new round of sanctions on Iran; markets slip in step

据美国哥伦比亚广播公司报道,财政部长贝森特定于8月24日星期一宣布对伊朗的新一轮制裁,他形容这是「有史以来对一个对手发动的最大规模金融攻势」。伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃回应说,任何升级都会带来后果;伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书雷扎伊上周六另外说过,配合制裁的国家会被当成敌人。制裁宣布前夕,伊朗里亚尔在非官方市场跌到一美元兑202万,创下新低;全球股市普遍走低,油价小幅回落。

CBS News reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to unveil a new round of sanctions on Iran on Monday, Aug. 24, describing them as "the single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary." Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei replied that any escalation would bring consequences; separately, on Saturday, Supreme National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezai said any country taking part in the economic restrictions would be treated as an enemy. Ahead of the announcement the rial fell to a record 2.02 million to the dollar on informal markets, world shares were mostly lower and oil prices slipped.

社区影响据美联社,伊朗战事已经拖慢霍尔木兹海峡的石油运输,美国通胀因此持续高于3%;上周长期国债收益率升到1年多来的高位,10年期为4.73%,而房贷利率正是跟着这个数走的。要换房贷或者续贷的家庭,这几天值得多问一句。
COMMUNITY IMPACTAccording to the Associated Press, the Iran war has slowed oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, keeping US inflation stubbornly above 3%. Long-term Treasury yields rose to their highest in more than a year last week, with the 10-year at 4.73% — and mortgage rates follow that number. Any household about to refinance is worth asking one extra question this week.

名词解释Glossary sanctions:制裁;Treasury yield:国债收益率;mortgage rate:房贷利率

俄勒冈五人命案 嫌疑人在恩安克劳(Enumclaw)被发现死亡

Two Eastside buses into Seattle end Saturday; riders move to the 2 Line

据哥伦比亚广播公司和《西雅图时报》报道,俄勒冈州福雷斯特格罗夫(Forest Grove)郊外一处乡村地产上,周六清晨发现五人遇害,起因是消防接到车辆起火的报警。华盛顿县警方按五人命案立案,现场还有数只家养动物死亡。第二天,警方在金县恩安克劳(Enumclaw)一家超市后面的车里,发现36岁的嫌疑人本杰明·帕克已经死亡。警方说,嫌疑人与死者相识,社区没有持续威胁。

The Mercer Island Reporter reported on Aug. 23 that Sound Transit will eliminate Routes 550 and 554 on Saturday, Aug. 29. The 550 linked Bellevue with downtown Seattle and the 554 linked Issaquah with Seattle; riders are directed to the 2 Line light rail and to the Route 556 express, which increases to every 15 minutes. The 556 will now serve Bellevue Transit Center and Bellevue Downtown Station instead of University District Station. Separately, The Urbanist reports that King County Metro retires Route 372 the same day, replaced by new Routes 72 and 77 and an extended Route 331.

社区影响命案出在俄勒冈,人却死在金县自家门口,这种消息在微信群里最容易越传越吓人。官方那句「社区没有持续威胁」,才是判断要不要改变出行安排的依据。转发之前,先看一眼是哪家媒体发的、是哪一天发的——隔夜的旧消息,读起来跟刚发生一样。
COMMUNITY IMPACTLosing a one-seat ride means an extra transfer, and the transfer point, frequency and walking distance all change with it. Older riders here mostly travel from memory, so the practical step is to read the new timetable at your usual stop this week and confirm whether your bus still exists before Saturday — ideally with a family member walking the trip once alongside you.

名词解释Glossary homicide:凶杀案;no ongoing threat:没有持续威胁

山羊火升三级撤离 华州多县空气质量警报

Most Washington insurance does not cover fertility care; families pay tens of thousands

华州基蒂塔斯县(Kittitas)上克莱伊勒姆(Cle Elum)河谷的山羊火(Goat Fire),周日清早从二级升到三级「立即撤离」,沿萨蒙拉萨克路(Salmon La Sac Rd)的住户被要求马上离开;亚基马县(Yakima)同日也下了撤离令。华州生态部对基蒂塔斯县发出空气质量警报,有效到8月24日中午;奇兰(Chelan)、道格拉斯(Douglas)、奥卡诺根(Okanogan)三县另有一份不设期限的警报,细颗粒物可能升到不健康的水平。

The Seattle Times reported on Aug. 23 that most Washington insurance plans do not cover intrauterine insemination or IVF, leaving families to pay out of pocket. One family in Bothell spent about $64,000 and ran a GoFundMe before their baby arrived. Half of all US states require insurers to cover at least some fertility care; Washington's Legislature has failed to pass such a bill in each of the last three sessions, partly because of the state's multibillion-dollar budget shortfall.

社区影响烟是顺着风走的,山那边烧起来,这边的空气也跟着变。有心肺毛病、有心脏病的长者,这几天出门前先查一眼当地的实时空气监测,别只看警报到没到期。指数偏高的日子,窗户关上,散步改到屋里走,等风向变了再出门。
COMMUNITY IMPACTBecause Washington does not mandate coverage, the bill lands almost entirely on the young family, often in the tens of thousands per round. The useful first step for an older relative is not to write a cheque but to have the couple read their employer benefits and policy terms line by line — what is covered, and how much — and then sit down and do the maths together.

马里斯维尔住宅火灾 70岁妇人与服务犬遇难

Marysville house fire kills a 70-year-old woman and her service dog

周日上午九点21分前后,消防队赶到马里斯维尔(Marysville)88街一户人家;是女主人的丈夫上完夜班回家,看到屋里浓烟很大、太太没有反应,打的911。70岁的女主人和她跟了多年的服务犬双双遇难,她当时在家中接受安宁疗护,行动不便,丈夫说他是在卧室地板上找到她的。这件事最该记住的,是家里有离不开床的长辈时,独自在家的那几个钟头最危险。今天就能做的两件事:把家里每一个烟雾报警器按一下测试键,不响的换掉;再把「那几个钟头谁能照应」这句话,在家里说定下来。

Around 9:21 a.m. Sunday, Marysville fire crews reached a home on 88th Street after the woman's husband came off an overnight shift, found the house full of smoke and his wife unresponsive, and called 911. The 70-year-old woman and her longtime service dog both died; she was in hospice care at home and could not move easily, and her husband said he found her on the bedroom floor. What this case teaches is that when a household has a bedbound elder, the hours they are alone are the dangerous ones. Two things you can do today: press the test button on every smoke alarm and replace any that stay silent, then settle out loud, with your family, who covers those hours.

国会山下水道工程动工 商家称通知太晚

Capitol Hill sewer work begins; businesses say notice came too late

西雅图公用事业局从8月17日星期一起,在国会山(Capitol Hill)12大道与派克街路口动工,做一项640万美元的下水道修复工程,附近商家说事先几乎没接到通知,路口封闭加上停车位消失,正撞上夏天最要紧的一段生意。社区团体说,市政单位8年前就知道要做这项工程,却没有按自己的通知规定挨家挨户打招呼;他们在8月13号走访了大约50家店,几乎没有人听说过这件事。对开小店的华人家庭,这条提醒的是:别只等信箱里的通知,路口一有围挡就该主动去问工期。工程还在做,最近几周去那一带,先把停车想好,或者干脆坐轻轨过去。

Seattle Public Utilities began a $6.4 million sewer rehabilitation project at 12th Avenue and Pike Street on Capitol Hill on Monday, Aug. 17; nearby business owners say they got little or no advance notice, and the closure and lost parking have hit the most valuable stretch of their summer. A neighbourhood group says the utility has known about the project for eight years but did not follow its own notification policy door to door — when they canvassed about 50 businesses on Aug. 13, hardly anyone had heard of it. For Chinese families running a small shop, the lesson is not to wait for a letter: when barriers go up at your corner, go and ask how long the work will last. The work is ongoing, so plan your parking or take the light rail.

西雅图西区木屋博物馆新常设展开幕

West Seattle's Log House Museum opens a new permanent exhibit

西雅图西区的木屋博物馆(Log House Museum)上周四晚为新的常设展举行开幕,讲的是这一带的历史:原住民、拓荒者、西区大桥和交通变迁,还配了音频和可以动手的部分。对带孙辈的长者,这是一个不用走远、又能把「咱们住的这片地方是怎么来的」一次讲清楚的地方。馆址在 3003 61st SW, Seattle,周四、周五中午到下午四点开放,周六是上午10点到下午四点。

The Log House Museum in West Seattle held the grand opening of its new permanent exhibit on Thursday evening, covering the area's history — Native heritage, settlers, the West Seattle Bridge and how people have moved around — with audio and hands-on elements. For a grandparent with a grandchild in tow it is a short trip that answers, in one visit, how this stretch of the city came to be. The museum is at 3003 61st SW, Seattle, open Thursday and Friday noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

西雅图10年来首次修订气候行动计划

Seattle updates its Climate Action Plan for the first time in a decade

西雅图市可持续与环境办公室正在修订10多年来第一版气候行动计划,这一次把「适应」摆到和减排一样重要的位置,内容分成10个行动族,覆盖健康、建筑、交通、废弃物、水、食物和能源。对长者最实在的是其中三样:夏天的高温——本地大多数房子没有中央空调,有居民在意见会上提出,社区中心应该配上电池备电,停电时也能当纳凉点;第二是野火烟霾;第三是杜瓦米什河谷的潮汐水患,打算用恢复湿地、让雨水下渗的办法来挡。报道说,西雅图要在这个10年结束前把排放降到58%,从现在算只剩3年半。

Seattle's Office of Sustainability and Environment is updating its Climate Action Plan for the first time in more than a decade, this time putting adaptation on the same footing as cutting emissions, organised into ten "action families" covering health, buildings, transport, waste, water, food and energy. Three parts matter most to older residents: summer heat — most homes here have no air conditioning, and a resident at a public forum proposed giving community centres battery backup so they can serve as cooling centres in a blackout — wildfire smoke, and tidal flooding in the Duwamish Valley, to be met with restored marshland and rainwater infiltration. The article says Seattle must cut emissions 58% by the end of the decade, three and a half years from now.

华州多数保险不保生育治疗 自付动辄数万

WA families pay tens of thousands out of pocket for fertility care

《西雅图时报》报道,华州大多数保险计划不覆盖人工授精和试管婴儿,费用几乎全由家庭自付。报道里一个住在博塞尔(Bothell)的家庭前后花了约6.4万美元,还开过众筹。全美已有一半的州立法要求保险覆盖部分生育治疗,华州立法机构连续三个会期没能通过同类法案。

美国文化一则American Customs

美国的公交线路不是想改就改。像这一次的大改线,前后走了好几年:社区意见征集、由本地居民组成的「流动性委员会」在两个不同阶段评审,最后才定案;改完之后,县议员还可以提动议要求恢复某一条线。

American transit routes are not changed on a whim. A restructure like this one took years: community engagement, review by a Mobility Board of local residents at two separate planning stages, and only then a decision — and even after it lands, a county councilmember can still file a motion to restore a route.

这套流程的逻辑是「先说清楚,再动手」:公交是拿税款办的公共服务,改动会影响谁、影响多大,得先摆到台面上让人反对。反对不一定成功——这次要求恢复372路的动议,提案的议员自己把它从议程上撤了下来,转到委员会再议——但让人有地方反对,本身就是制度的一部分。

The logic is: settle the argument before you act. Transit is a public service paid for with taxes, so who loses what has to be put on the table where people can object. Objecting does not always work — the sponsor of the motion to restore Route 372 pulled it from Tuesday's agenda himself and sent it to committee — but having somewhere to object is itself part of the system.

华人长者习惯的是「通知一下就照办」,看到有人为一条公交线吵到议会,第一反应常是小题大做。可换个角度看,这跟老家「先开个会、把话说开」是一个道理,只不过美国把这个会写进了法定程序里,谁都能去说两句。

Chinese elders are used to being told and then complying, so watching people take one bus route all the way to the council can look like a fuss over nothing. Seen another way it is the same instinct as calling a meeting back home to get everything said out loud — except that here the meeting is written into the statute, and anyone may speak.

今日一词Word of the Day

transfer

换乘、转车

to change from one bus or train to another on the same trip

Do I need to transfer to get to Bellevue?

550路停运以后,从东区进城多半要在贝尔维尤市区站换一趟轻轨。问司机或者站务员的时候,不用整句,说出 transfer 这一个词,对方就明白您问的是哪儿换车。

Once the 550 is gone, getting into the city from the Eastside usually means changing to light rail at Bellevue Downtown Station. You do not need a whole sentence to ask a driver or a station attendant — the single word "transfer" tells them exactly what you want to know.
