当总统在国际舞台上大肆赞扬经济的强劲时，美国民众依然在承受源于伊朗战争的物价上涨之痛。
As the president extolled the strength of the economy on the global stage, Americans continued to feel the sting of rising prices stemming from the war in Iran.
本周汽油价格上涨、抵押贷款成本飙升、华尔街投资者变得坐立不安，这加剧了围绕特朗普总统的政治漩涡，距离选民在2026年中期选举中投票仅剩一个多月。
Gas prices climbed, mortgage costs soared and investors on Wall Street grew jittery this week, intensifying a political maelstrom surrounding President Trump with just over a month until voters cast their ballots in the 2026 midterm election.
对于因多年持续高价而深受其害的美国人来说，9月底几乎没有带来明显的缓解，因为与伊朗长期未解的战争继续以各种方式冲击美国经济，使该国对抗通胀的斗争变得更加棘手。
For Americans stung by years of persistently high prices, the end of September brought little obvious relief, as a long unresolved war with Iran continued to ripple across the U.S. economy in ways that made the nation’s battle with inflation all the more vexing.
油价在每桶100美元左右剧烈波动，而加油站价格居高不下，据AAA统计，到周五全国汽油平均价格达到每加仑近4.50美元。更令人担忧的是柴油价格飙升，突破每加仑6.50美元，这引发了高昂的运输和航运成本可能很快推高食品杂货和其他商品价格的担忧。
Oil prices whipsawed around $100 per barrel while costs at the pump remained high, with a gallon of gasoline reaching an average of nearly $4.50 nationally by Friday, according to AAA. The more concerning spike occurred in diesel, which topped $6.50 per gallon, raising the possibility that high transportation and shipping costs could make groceries and other goods more expensive soon, too.
能源冲击加剧了通胀恶化的担忧，这随即推高部分政府债券收益率至二十多年来的最高水平。这增加了联邦政府的借贷成本，但问题并不局限于华盛顿，因为收益率的急剧转变也推动30年期抵押贷款利率在周末飙升至7%以上。
The energy shock fanned fears of worsening inflation, which consequently sent yields on some government bonds to the highest level in more than two decades. That made federal borrowing more expensive, but the problem was not confined to Washington, as the sharp turn in yields also sent rates on 30-year mortgages surging above 7 percent by the week’s end.
这些逆风让许多投资者确信美联储最早可能在下个月加息，那将是其连续第二次会议加息。但特朗普先生本周大部分时间都在试图将经济描绘为巨大的成功，他援引投资激增和建筑业繁荣，这在很大程度上是由人工智能热潮推动的。
The headwinds left many investors convinced that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates as soon as next month, which would be its second increase in as many meetings. But Mr. Trump spent much of the week trying to present the economy as a resounding success, citing a surge in investment and a boom in construction, driven in no small part by the exuberance around artificial intelligence.
在联合国发表讲话时，总统还提出了他可能进一步升级与伊朗战争的前景，该战争现已进入第七个月。尽管他重申了要求德黑兰裁军的呼吁，但特朗普依然一挥手便驳回了外界对这场冲突选举影响及其代价的任何担忧。
Speaking at the United Nations, the president also raised the prospect that he could still yet escalate the war with Iran, now in its seventh month. While he reaffirmed his calls for Tehran’s disarmament, Mr. Trump nonetheless swatted away any concerns about the electoral implications of the conflict or its costs.
