埃隆·马斯克瞄准美联储，称其“人手过剩”

（彭博社）——亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的任务是在一月份提高美国政府的效率，他将目光瞄准了美联储。

Elon Musk has set his sights on the Federal Reserve, calling the central bank “absurdly overstaffed” in response to someone posting about the Fed's latest policy decision on social media.

埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)将目光投向了美联储，在回应有人在社交媒体上发布有关美联储最新政策决定的帖子时，他称美联储“人手过剩”。

The remarks come after US President-elect Donald Trump also made the Fed a target, arguing he should have a say in monetary policy and the setting of interest rates.

在此之前，美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普也将美联储作为目标，认为他应该在货币政策和利率制定方面拥有发言权。

Musk has become one of Trump's closest advisers as the latter prepares to return to the White House, and is set to lead up a new agency — called the Department of Government Efficiency — along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. DOGE, as it's known, seeks to deliver a leaner, more efficient government, including $2 trillion in spending cuts.

随着特朗普准备重返白宫，马斯克已成为特朗普最亲密的顾问之一，并将与企业家维韦克·拉马斯瓦米 (Vivek Ramaswamy) 一起领导一个名为政府效率部的新机构。众所周知，DOGE 致力于建立一个更精简、更高效的政府，其中包括削减 2 万亿美元的支出。

The Federal Reserve Board in Washington and 12 regional reserve banks across the US employed about 24,000 people last year — significantly less than comparable institutions.

华盛顿联邦储备委员会和美国 12 家地区储备银行去年雇用了约 24,000 名员工，明显少于同类机构。

In the Eurosystem, which comprises the European Central Bank and the region's 20 national peers, the central banks of Germany, France and Italy together had more people on their payrolls.

在由欧洲中央银行和该地区 20 个国家同行组成的欧元体系中，德国、法国和意大利的中央银行的雇员总数较多。

The Fed and Chair Jerome Powell have been a frequent target of Trump, who appointed him during his first term. Recently, he ridiculed Powell's role as “the greatest job in government,” saying, “you show up to the office once a month, and you say, ‘Let's see, flip a coin.’”

美联储和主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔一直是特朗普的经常攻击目标，特朗普在他的第一个任期内任命了他。最近，他嘲笑鲍威尔的角色是“政府中最伟大的工作”，他说，“你每个月到办公室一次，然后说，‘让我们看看，掷硬币。’”

While Powell hasn't responded directly, ECB President Christine Lagarde challenged Trump's gripe, inviting him to come and observe the work of her team in Frankfurt.

虽然鲍威尔没有直接回应，但欧洲央行行长克里斯蒂娜·拉加德对特朗普的抱怨提出了挑战，邀请他来法兰克福观察她的团队的工作。

“I have thousands of hard-working people — economists, jurists, computer scientists — and I can assure you that they work super hard every day, not just once a month,” she told Bloomberg TV. “We defend the euro, and we fight for the euro, just as the Fed defends the dollar, I'm sure — I don't want to speak for Jay Powell, but I'm sure that's how he sees his job.”

“我有成千上万勤奋的人——经济学家、法学家、计算机科学家——我可以向你保证，他们每天都非常努力地工作，而不仅仅是每月一次，”她告诉彭博电视台。 “我们捍卫欧元，我们为欧元而战，就像美联储捍卫美元一样，我确信——我不想代表杰伊·鲍威尔发言，但我确信这就是他看待自己工作的方式。”
