    现任美联储主席伯南克预计明年1月底结束第二个任期后卸任。除了未来伯南克离任后美国量化宽松政策走向引发关注外,伯南克继任者的挑选工作也在悄然开始。

  The White House has assembled a shortlist of candidates to succeed Federal Reserve Bank chairman Ben Bernanke,a source familiar with the process said,and U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is running the search.
  白宫已经开始寻找接替美联储主席本·伯南克的人选,知情人士透露,美国财政部长雅各布·卢正在负责此事。(路透社)

  The search is in the early stages and there is no front-runner,according to these people,who wouldn’t divulge any names on the shortlist. A selection might not be announced until early fall,they said. 
  知情人士表示,挑选还在早期阶段,并没有明显的领先者。知情人士不愿透露任何人员名单。甄选可能要到初秋才能宣布。(《华尔街日报》)

  The president,while praising Mr. Bernanke in a TV interview this month with Charlie Rose,said Mr. Bernanke has “already stayed a lot longer than he wanted or he was supposed to.”The two men met at the White House in February and Mr. Bernanke said in March they had spoken “a bit”about his future. He declined at a news conference last week to say more about his future.
  总统本月在接受电视采访中对伯南克进行了表扬,说伯南克已经比他自己想要或者说打算在位的时间呆得更长了。两人曾经于2月份在白宫相见,伯南克在3月份表示他们谈论了一些关于他本人未来的事宜。不过,伯南克上周拒绝在新闻发布会上对他的去留透露更多。(华尔街日报)

  “But many of Bernanke’s friends and associates believe he wants to step down when his term expires,”the Journal said.
  据称,伯南克的许多朋友和同事都相信在其任期届满之时,他希望能离任。(《卫报》)

  There was no information on who is on the list,although Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen,former Obama adviser Lawrence Summers and former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner are considered to be likely leading choices.
  没有消息表明谁在伯南克继任人的名单上,不过美联储副主席耶伦、前奥巴马顾问劳伦斯·萨默斯和前财政部长盖特纳被认为是可能的首选人员。(《独立报》)
  伯南克的继任人必须能够妥善地结束伯南克的宽松货币政策。一旦美联储过快地改变政策,可能会抑制复苏。而如果政策拖延时间太长,又可能引起通货膨胀或者新的资产泡沫。

  Ms. Yellen has been an outspoken advocate of the Fed’s easy-money policies. Her involvement in formulating those policies could give her an advantage at the White House,by knowing how they work and how they can be reversed. She also has drawbacks,including a lack of market experience at a time when markets are especially nervous.
  耶伦夫人是美联储宽松货币政策的积极倡导者,她对于制定这些政策的参与可能会在白宫获得优势,因为她了解政策如何运作,又可以如何逆转。不过她也有弱点,就是缺乏对付在市场极为紧张时刻的经验。(华尔街日报)

  Lawrence Summers,the former head of Mr. Obama’s National Economic Council,is also seen as a contender. Mr. Summers served as Treasury secretary under Mr. Clinton and is close to many of Mr. Obama’s top economic advisers.He is widely viewed in the administration as a top economist. But he faces obstacles,too,including questions about how he would fit into the Fed’s culture.
  劳伦斯·萨默斯是前奥巴马国家经济委员会顾问,他也被认为是美联储主席的竞争者。萨默斯先生是克林顿总统的财政部长,接近奥巴马的许多高级经济顾问。他被决策层广泛地认为是一个高级经济学家。但是他也面对一些障碍,包括如何适应美联储的文化。(《华尔街日报》)

  Other respected economists whom the White House might consider include two former Fed vice chairmen,Princeton University professor Alan Blinder and Roger Ferguson,who advised Mr. Obama’s first campaign for president in 2008,and Christina Romer,the former head of Mr. Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers. Timothy Geithner,Mr.Obama’s former Treasury Secretary,is sometimes mentioned as a potential successor to Mr. Bernanke,though Mr. Geithner has said he doesn’t want the job.
  其他白宫可能考虑的受尊敬的经济学家包括两位前美联储副主席,普林斯顿大学教授艾伦·布林德和克里斯蒂娜·罗默,后者是前奥巴马经济顾问委员会的头。奥巴马的前财政部长盖特纳有时也会被认为是伯南克的潜在继任者,不过盖特纳表示他并不想要这份工作。(《华尔街日报》)
  此外,央行的前成员,包括唐纳德·科恩和斯坦利·费希尔,有时也会被认为将是伯南克继任者的候选人。
