美国新闻一则NATIONAL美联储预计今日加息 3年来首次
Fed expected to raise rates today, first hike in three years
美联储定的基准利率,是银行之间短期借钱的参考价。据美联社报道,伊朗战争推高油价,美联储最看重的通胀指标7月升到3.7%,远高于2%的目标。据公共电视网(PBS)报道,美联储主席沃什(Kevin Warsh)9月16日美东时间下午两点召开记者会,市场普遍预计美联储加息0.25个百分点,这将是3年来首次,基准利率将从约3.6%升到约3.9%。
The Federal Reserve's benchmark rate is the reference price for short-term lending between banks. The AP reports that the Iran war has pushed up oil prices and lifted the Fed's preferred inflation gauge to 3.7% in July, far above its 2% target. PBS NewsHour reports Fed Chair Kevin Warsh holds a news conference at 2 p.m. EDT on Sept. 16, with markets widely expecting a quarter-point hike, the first in three years, taking the benchmark from about 3.6% to about 3.9%.
社区影响房贷利率跟的是10年期国债收益率。7月美联储没加息,投资人担心通胀压不住,这个收益率本周升到5%,房贷随之上涨;报道指出,加息若让市场重拾信心,反而可能压住房贷、车贷这类长期利率。信用卡没还清的余额,利息则可能随加息上升,宜尽早还清。
COMMUNITY IMPACTMortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury yield. After the Fed held rates in July, investors worried inflation would not be tamed, the yield reached 5% this week and mortgages rose; reports say a hike that restores confidence could actually hold down longer-term rates like mortgages and auto loans. Interest on unpaid credit card balances, by contrast, may rise with a hike, so paying them off early is wise.
名词解释Glossary Federal Reserve:美联储;benchmark interest rate:基准利率;10-year Treasury yield:10年期国债收益率;quarter point:0.25个百分点

本地新闻LOCAL NEWS西雅图市长公布减少枪击暴力的全市方案
Seattle mayor unveils citywide plan to reduce gun violence
据《西北亚洲周报》报道,西雅图市长凯蒂·威尔逊(Katie Wilson)9月15日公布减少枪击暴力的全市方案:社区暴力干预工作归入市社区协助应对部门(CARE)统筹,她提出的2027年预算里每年拿出500多万美元,延续与九家社区机构的合同,待市议会通过;警方在小西贡(Little Saigon)、贝尔敦(Belltown)、北奥罗拉(North Aurora)和雷尼尔海滩(Rainier Beach)加派自行车巡逻;13到24岁的年轻人可免费做心理辅导。
Northwest Asian Weekly reports that Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on Sept. 15 announced a citywide plan to reduce gun violence: community violence intervention work moves under the city's Community Assisted Response and Engagement (CARE) Department, and her proposed 2027 budget includes more than $5 million a year to continue contracts with nine community organizations, pending council approval; police will add bicycle patrols in Little Saigon, Belltown, North Aurora and Rainier Beach; and young people aged 13 to 24 get free counseling.
社区影响小西贡紧挨唐人街,是不少华人长者买菜、看病常去的街区,方案点名在那里加派自行车巡警。所谓社区暴力干预,是由熟悉街坊的外展人员出面调解冲突。家中有十几岁孙辈的,可留意市里为13到24岁年轻人提供的免费心理辅导。
COMMUNITY IMPACTLittle Saigon sits next to Chinatown and is where many Chinese elders shop and see doctors; the plan names it for added bicycle patrols. Community violence intervention means outreach workers who know the neighbourhood step in to defuse conflicts. Families with teenage grandchildren can note the free counseling the city offers people aged 13 to 24.
名词解释Glossary community violence intervention:社区暴力干预;bicycle patrol:自行车巡逻;CARE Department:社区协助应对部门

本地新闻LOCAL NEWS西雅图教师工会投票通过3年新合同
Seattle teachers' union ratifies new three-year contract
据《西雅图时报》报道,西雅图公立学校与教师工会此前谈了30轮,分歧最大的是特殊教育改革,直到开学前一晚才达成临时协议,避免了罢工。代表约6000名教职员的西雅图教育协会9月15日投票通过新合同:3年加薪共约10%;学生超过350人的小学保证有全职辅导员或社工;特殊教育先由双方合作研究,再在约三分之一学校试点。校董会定于9月16日晚表决。
The Seattle Times reports that Seattle Public Schools and its teachers' union went through 30 bargaining sessions, with special-education reform the biggest sticking point, and reached a tentative deal only the night before school started, averting a strike. On Sept. 15 the Seattle Education Association, representing about 6,000 staff, voted to approve the contract: raises totalling about 10% over three years; a full-time counselor or social worker at every elementary school with more than 350 students; and a joint study of special education followed by pilots in about a third of schools. The school board is set to vote the evening of Sept. 16.
社区影响孙辈在西雅图公校读书的家庭,这学年因劳资纠纷停课的风险基本消除。学生多的小学会有全职辅导员或社工,孩子情绪或学习上遇到困难可先找他们;特殊教育现行的做法暂时不变,双方要到2028年1月前才拿出改革建议。
COMMUNITY IMPACTFor families with grandchildren in Seattle Public Schools, the risk of a strike closing schools this year has largely passed. Larger elementary schools will have a full-time counselor or social worker children can go to with emotional or learning problems; current special-education arrangements stay as they are, with reform recommendations not due until January 2028.
名词解释Glossary Seattle Education Association:西雅图教育协会(西雅图教师工会);tentative agreement:临时协议;ratify:投票通过

Suspect arrested in Labor Day Belltown killing had been released days earlier
据KOMO电视台报道,劳动节周末贝尔敦三起致命枪击中,23岁女子蒂奥娜·辛普森(Tionna Simpson)9月6日凌晨在车里中枪身亡,西雅图警方已逮捕一名嫌犯;法庭记录显示,他因另一宗家暴伤害案被羁押,案发前几天才获释。这件事让不少人关注,被控暴力伤人的人在什么条件下获释。遇害者家属说,她的女儿刚满六个月。
KOMO News reports that in one of three deadly Labor Day weekend shootings in Belltown, 23-year-old Tionna Simpson was shot and killed in her car early on Sept. 6, and Seattle police have arrested a suspect; court records show he had been released from custody in a separate domestic-violence assault case just days before. The case has drawn attention to the conditions under which people accused of violent assault are released. Her family says her daughter had just turned six months old.

西雅图首栋社会住房暂缓受理最低收入申请人
Seattle's first social housing building pauses applications from lowest-income applicants
据《西雅图时报》报道,西雅图社会住房开发局(Seattle Social Housing Developer)今年春天花6100万美元买下贝尔敦150户的Elara公寓,改成不同收入混住的平价房,但因为要先安排好就业转介、心理健康等配套服务,目前暂缓处理收入低于地区中位数30%的申请。今年春天已在这栋楼抽签中选、收入又最低的申请人,要再等一阵才能入住。开发局发言人表示,收入在中位数30%到50之间的申请照常办理,最低收入一档计划11月恢复受理。
The Seattle Times reports that the Seattle Social Housing Developer, which paid $61 million this spring for the 150-unit Elara apartments in Belltown to turn them into mixed-income housing, has paused processing applicants earning below 30% of area median income while it arranges services such as job referrals and behavioral health support. Lowest-income applicants already picked in this spring's lottery for the building will have to wait longer to move in. A spokesperson said applicants earning 30% to 50% of median income are still being processed, and the lowest-income tier is planned to resume in November.

高盛在贝尔维尤(Bellevue)开设工程师中心
Goldman Sachs opens engineering hub in Bellevue
据GeekWire报道,纽约投资银行高盛本月在贝尔维尤开设工程中心,可容纳125名以上专做人工智能和云计算的员工,是它在太平洋西北地区第一个工程师专用办公室。家里有子女做软件工程的,东区又多了一家可以投简历的大公司。高盛自2001年起在西雅图市中心设有银行和财富管理办公室,这次的工程中心是在此之外新增的。
GeekWire reports that New York investment bank Goldman Sachs opened an engineering center in Bellevue this month with room for more than 125 employees focused on AI and cloud work, its first dedicated engineering office in the Pacific Northwest. Families with children in software engineering have one more large employer on the Eastside to apply to. Goldman has had a downtown Seattle office for banking and wealth management since 2001; the engineering center is an addition to it.

华州家长赴华府 反对联邦改动「启蒙计划」幼教
Washington parents rally in D.C. against federal Head Start changes
「启蒙计划」(Head Start)是联邦出钱、专为低收入家庭幼儿办的学前教育,华州约有1.44万个孩子在读;联邦政府提议删去大部分规定,包括老师只准用英语教学、取消视力和牙齿检查等,华州家长和议员9月15日到华府集会反对。家里孙辈在读「启蒙计划」、平时在家说中文的,只准用英语教学这一条最值得留意。联邦卫生部表示,改动能省下22亿美元,再投回去增加23.6万个名额;新规则目前仍是提议,公众意见征集到10月6日,预计下个月定案。
Head Start is federally funded preschool for low-income families, serving about 14,400 children in Washington; the federal government has proposed scrapping most of its rules, including requiring staff to teach only in English and cutting vision and dental screenings, and Washington parents and lawmakers rallied in D.C. against it on Sept. 15. Families whose grandchildren attend Head Start and speak Chinese at home should watch the English-only provision most closely. HHS says the changes would save $2.2 billion to be reinvested into 236,000 new slots; the rule is still a proposal, open for public comment through Oct. 6 and expected to be finalized next month.

据《西北亚洲周报》报道,西雅图交响乐团9月16日在市中心贝纳罗亚音乐厅(Benaroya Hall,200 University Street)演出《吉卜力工作室音乐会》,曲目选自久石让为《龙猫》《千与千寻》《哈尔的移动城堡》《魔女宅急便》写的配乐,只奏音乐、不放画面。看过这些动画的祖孙两代可以一起去,客座指挥是台湾裔美国人威尔伯·林(Wilbur Lin),《龙猫》一段用日语讲故事、台上配英文字幕。票价和开演时间要上西雅图交响乐团官网查询。
Northwest Asian Weekly reports the Seattle Symphony performs "The Music of Studio Ghibli" on Sept. 16 at Benaroya Hall, 200 University Street, downtown, with Joe Hisaishi's scores from My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and Kiki's Delivery Service, music only with no film.

贝尔维尤(Bellevue)新建房停车位规定10月表决
Bellevue to vote in October on parking rules for new buildings
华州去年通过参议院5184号法案,限制各城市强制新建项目配多少停车位,据The Urbanist报道,贝尔维尤明年1月起每两户公寓最多只能要求一个车位,长者住房和平价住房不得强制配车位。对东区长者来说,少建车位可能让新房便宜一些,但亲友来访找车位也可能更难。市议会10月表决时还要决定是否更进一步,比如在快速公交站半英里内取消停车要求、取消访客车位规定,议员们意见不一。
Washington passed Senate Bill 5184 last year capping how much parking cities can require of new projects; The Urbanist reports that from next January Bellevue may require no more than one stall per two apartment units, and none for senior or affordable housing. For Eastside elders, fewer stalls may make new homes somewhat cheaper but can also make parking harder when family visit. When the council votes in October it will also decide whether to go further, such as dropping parking mandates within a half mile of RapidRide stops or the visitor-parking rule, and councilmembers are divided.

美国文化一则American Customs
美国公立学校的老师大多加入工会,由工会代表全体老师跟学区谈合同,工资、班级配置、辅导员和护士的人手都写进合同里,一签就是几年。谈不拢时工会可以投票罢工,谈拢的合同要工会会员投票通过、校董会再表决,才算数。
Most American public school teachers belong to a union that negotiates a contract with the district on behalf of all of them, covering pay, staffing, counselors and nurses, usually for several years. If talks fail the union can vote to strike, and a deal only takes effect after members ratify it and the school board approves it.
这套做法的道理是,一个老师单独找学区讲条件没有分量,几千人一起谈才有。西雅图这次的合同谈了30轮,工会代表约6000名老师、辅导员、秘书和助教,会员从上周五投票到周二晚七点,校董会定在周三晚上表决。
The logic is that one teacher bargaining alone carries no weight, while thousands together do. Seattle's contract this time took 30 bargaining sessions; the union represents about 6,000 teachers, counselors, secretaries and paraprofessionals, members voted from last Friday until 7 p.m. Tuesday, and the school board is set to vote Wednesday evening.
中国人讲「人心齐,泰山移」,一群人商量好了再去说话,这份道理中外相通。不同的是,美国把这件事写成了有规矩、有程序的制度:先谈,谈不拢再投票,最后还要校董会点头。
A Chinese saying holds that when people are of one mind they can move a mountain; agreeing among yourselves before speaking up is a shared idea. The difference is that America turned it into a set procedure: bargain first, vote if talks fail, and the school board must sign off at the end.
