Last night, the White House announced that it would nominate Federal Reserve vice chairwoman Janet Yellen to replace Fed chairman Ben Bernanke when his term expires in January. 10月8日晚，白宫官员表示将提名现任美联储副主席珍妮特-耶伦将在明年1月份、现任美联储主席伯南克任期结束后，取代现任主席成为下届美联储主席。 Yellen was widely seen as the frontrunner to receive the nomination — especially after her chief opponent for the job, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, withdrew his name from contention in September. 耶伦被普遍认为是此次提名的首要人选——特别是她的头号竞争对手，前财政部长劳伦斯-萨默斯于9月退出竞争之后。 |
