The average interest rate on a 30-year mortgage hit 6.02% last week, more than double what it was a year ago.

上周，美国 30 年期房贷平均利率达到了 6.02%，比一年前增长了一倍多。

In last year's budget, about 8% of spending was allocated to interest payments, even at an average interest rate on government bonds of 0.8%.

在去年的预算中， 约 8% 的支出分配给利息支付，即使政府债券的平均利率为 0.8%。

One way to sharpen the picture is to take the government-bond yield for a given maturity and subtract the average interest rate the market expects from the central bank over that period.

一种使情况更加清晰的方法是采用给定期限的政府债券收益率，然后减去市场对中央银行在此期间的平均利率预期。
