班克曼-弗里德被指控策划了
美国历史上“最大的金融诈骗案”
之一
Sam Bankman-Fried has been accused of engineering “one of the biggest financial frauds in American history” as US prosecutors filed criminal charges against the founder of failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
萨姆•班克曼-弗里德(Sam Bankman-Fried)被指控策划了“美国历史上最大的金融诈骗案之一”，美国检察官对倒闭的加密货币交易所FTX的创始人提起刑事指控。
In an indictment unsealed on Tuesday, the US Department of Justice charged Bankman-Fried with eight counts including conspiracy to commit wire fraud on customers and lenders, money laundering and violations of campaign finance laws. Bankman-Fried, who was arrested in the Bahamas on Monday, faces years in prison if convicted.
在周二公布的一份起诉书中，美国司法部(Department of Justice)指控班克曼-弗里德犯有8项罪名，包括串谋对客户和贷款机构实施电信欺诈、洗钱和违反竞选财务法。班克曼-弗里德周一在巴哈马被捕，如果罪名成立，他将面临数年监禁。
The charges pointed to a long-running scheme to misappropriate the deposits of exchange customers to pay debts and expenses of Bankman-Fried’s private trading firm Alameda Research and to make investments. The conspiracy ran from 2019 — the year he founded FTX — until its collapse last month, according to the indictment.
这些指控指向一个长期计划，即挪用交易所客户的存款，以支付班克曼-弗里德的私人交易公司Alameda Research的债务和费用，并用于投资。起诉书称，这一阴谋始于2019年——也就是他创立FTX的那一年——直到该公司上月倒闭。

美联储将自5月以来首次
加息0.5个百分点
The Federal Reserve is set to slow the pace at which it tightens monetary policy and raise its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point on Wednesday, even as it signals its intention to continue squeezing the US economy next year.
美联储(Fed)将在周三放慢收紧货币政策的步伐，并将基准利率上调0.5个百分点，尽管该机构表示，明年将继续挤压美国经济。
At its final gathering of the year, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is poised to lift the federal funds rate to a new target range of 4.25 per cent to 4.5 per cent, as its fight against persistent inflation reaches a new juncture and it ends its months-long string of 0.75 percentage point rate increases.
在今年最后一次会议上，美国联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)准备将联邦基金利率上调到4.25%至4.5%的新目标区间，因为其对抗持续通胀的斗争达到了一个新的节点，并结束了其长达数月的0.75个百分点的加息。
Fed officials are also expected to revise their projections for the benchmark policy rate upwards next year compared to their previous estimates published in September, when most estimated a peak of 4.6 per cent.
预计美联储官员还将上调他们对明年基准政策利率的预测，而9月他们公布的大多数预测为4.6%的峰值。

欧洲央行将减少约3000亿
欧元债券购买
Investors will have to step in and buy about €300bn more eurozone government debt next year to prevent market turmoil as the European Central Bank starts to cut its vast bond holdings, analysts have warned.
分析师警告称，随着欧洲央行开始削减其庞大的债券持有量，投资者明年将不得不介入并购买约3000亿欧元的欧元区政府债券，以防止市场动荡。
The ECB is due to outline plans to shrink its €5tn bond portfolio on Thursday, alongside an increase in interest rates of at least 0.5 percentage points to 2 per cent, as it steps up its efforts to tame soaring inflation by tightening credit conditions.
欧洲央行将于周四概述缩减其5万亿欧元债券投资组合的计划，同时将利率上调至少0.5个百分点至2%。欧洲央行还将加大努力，通过收紧信贷环境来遏制通胀飙升。
The central bank’s plan to cut its support for sovereign bond markets comes as eurozone governments are set to issue more debt next year to cover the cost of shielding households and businesses from the impact of high energy prices this year.
欧洲央行计划削减对主权债券市场的支持之际，欧元区各国政府明年将发行更多债券，以支付保护家庭和企业免受今年能源价格高企影响的成本。

莫德纳：mRNA癌症疫苗
提高存活几率
Moderna and Merck are preparing to launch the first ever phase three trial of a messenger RNA cancer vaccine, after a smaller study showed it boosted patients’ chances of surviving an aggressive type of skin cancer.
莫德纳(Moderna)和默克(Merck)正准备启动信使RNA(mRNA)癌症疫苗的首个3期试验，此前一项规模较小的研究表明，该疫苗提高了一种侵袭性皮肤癌的患者的存活几率。
Data published by Moderna on Tuesday showed that a combination of the company’s experimental cancer vaccine and Merck’s immunotherapy drug Keytruda reduced the risk of death or recurrence of melanoma in high-risk patients by 44 per cent compared with treatment using only Keytruda.
莫德纳周二公布的数据显示，相比仅使用默克的免疫治疗药物可瑞达(Keytruda)进行治疗，结合使用莫德纳的实验性癌症疫苗与可瑞达，可使黑色素瘤高危患者死亡或复发的风险降低44%。
The phase 2 randomised trial enrolled 157 patients who had already undergone surgery related to melanoma and tracked them for a year. Some participants received nine doses of the cancer vaccine, codenamed mRNA-4157/V940, along with Keytruda. Others were given Keytruda alone, which is the standard treatment for high-risk melanoma.
2期随机试验招募了157名已经接受黑色素瘤相关手术的患者，并对他们进行了一年的追踪。一些参与者除了服用可瑞达外，还接种了九剂代号为mRNA-4157/V940的癌症疫苗。其他人则仅仅服用可瑞达，这是高危黑色素瘤的标准治疗方法。
