(He was in government until October 2009.) 6: Attac Deutschland, a longer-standing anti-globalisation group, joined up with Occupy Frankfurt. They want to tax wealth and bank profits, and to break up big banks.

1: The origins of higher prices matter. 2: Supply shocks, for instance, do more damage to global growth than higher prices that are the consequence of stronger demand. 3: One frequent explanation of the current rise is that central-bank largesse has sent oil prices higher. 4: In recent months the world’s big central banks have all either injected liquidity, expanded quantitative easing (printing money to buy bonds) or promised to keep rates low for longer. 5: This flood of cheap money, so the argument goes, has sent investors into hard assets, especially oil. 6: But since markets are forward-looking, the announcement rather than the enactment of QE should move oil prices; indeed, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, disappointed markets last month by not signalling another round of QE (see Buttonwood). 7: Moreover, if rising prices are being driven by speculators you should see a rise in oil inventories—exactly the opposite of what has happened.

1:高油价的源头至关重要。2:比如，像供应异动对全球经济造成的危害就比需求走强型油价攀升大。3:对于目前的上涨，一个常被用到的解释就是央行的慷慨救助推升了油价。4:在近几个月里，全球各大央行不是在注入流动性，增加量化宽松（印钱买国债），就是在保证延长保持低利率的期限。5:就像争论的那样，廉价资金（不只是低息贷款，还有货币的贬值等）的涌入早把投资者推到了硬资产那边，特别是石油那里。6:不过因为市场是有预测性的，所以是量化宽松的宣布提升了油价，而不是实施。确实，上个月美联储主席本伯南克宣布没有下一轮量化宽松，是让市场很失望的。7:另外，如果价格上涨是由投机者造成的，你将会看到原油库存的增加——这完全与事实背道而驰。

1:Quite the opposite.Behind the march of pro-gun laws across America (such as “stand your ground” ordinances that allow for the use of force in self-defence, without any obligation to attempt to retreat first, now in effect in more than half the states) is the NRA and its lobbying arm, the mildly-named Institute for Legislative Action.2:The NRA’s influence on introducing legislation has been remarkable.3:The debate about guns is no longer over whether assault rifles ought to be banned, but over whether guns should be allowed in bars, churches and colleges.

1:恰恰相反，全美赞成持枪法案（如“坚守阵地”法案允许使用枪支自卫，在防卫撤退中不负任何责任，这一法令在超过半数的州中生效）的游行队伍中是支持全美赞成持枪法案的是“全国步枪协会”及其游说分支—名字看上去很温和的“立法行动学院”。2:全国步枪协会在立法运动中的影响极其显著。3:人们对于枪支的争论点不再是是否应该禁止使用冲锋枪，而是在酒吧、教堂和大学里是否应该禁止携带枪支。

1:Even close family members, taken reverently into the “Nessie room” in his Boston apartment or instructed never to be without cameras on Scottish holidays, could not quite understand his obsession.2:But as well as being a scientist, Mr Rines was for 50 years a patent lawyer.3:His appetite for inventions went back to his childhood, when he had devised a fork and spoon that could fit into a penknife.4:He was pipped on that one, but died with around 100 patents to his name, most of them improvements to imaging things.5:A visit to his doctor for cataracts gave him his last invention, when he suggested a longer exposure of his eyeball to ultrasound radiation and found, on looking from his window that night, that the lights round Logan Airport were suddenly crystal clear.
