大家好，文章背景(寫在其他段)是說聯準會蒐集資料來闡述利率和銀行準備金及銀行借貸多寡的關係。段落如下： Banks in our sample held about 60 percent of total reserves as of December 2018. On average, the ratio of bank reserves to total assets is 4 percent. Also, total loans make up near two-thirds of our sample banks' total assets, and loans held by our sample banks constitute a material fraction of total loans extended by commercial banks. -------- 試譯 -------- 樣本銀行在２０１８年持有總儲備的６０％。平均每個銀行儲備和總資產比例是４％。並且總貸款餘額佔了樣本銀行總資產將近三分之二，樣本銀行持有的貸款也構成商業銀行總展期貸款的一小部分。 -------- 問題 -------- * 最後一句的 a material fraction of 的 material 應該要怎麼理解，實體的一部份？聽起來有點多餘，可以去掉嗎？ -------- 備註 -------- 類似的句子還有 "The flip side is a material fraction of households will come out of the crisis with stronger balance sheets than they went in, bc workers in them are still employed, or are getting 100%+ of income replaced by UI, and have spent less. They will have capacity to spend." 另一方面是一部分的家庭相比於危機前，在走出危機時會有更強的資產負債表，因為在危機時他們沒有被裁員，或是補助大於他們原本的薪資，並且花費的更少。他們將有消費的能力。 The surprising finding is that a material fraction of seemingly‘middle class’Americans also judge themselves to be financially fragile. 令人驚訝的發現是一部分被視為"中產階級"的美國人也自認財務上並不健全。感謝各位的回答，謝謝大家。 -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 59.124.166.10 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Translation/M.1598926767.A.8CE.html
