Push for Yellen to Lead at Fed Gathers Steam

Fed

‘Federal Reserve’를 줄여 ‘Fed’라 부르기도 합니다.

Gather steam

‘Gather steam’은 ‘속도가 붙다’, ‘가속을 내다’입니다. Yellen이 Fed의 수장이 되어야 한다는 압박에 속도가 붙는다는 뜻입니다.

Janet L. Yellen told friends in recent weeks that she did not expect to be nominated as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Be nominated as

‘Be nominated as’는 ‘~의 후보자로 지명되다’입니다. 명사형은 ‘Nomination’이며, ‘후보자’는 ‘Nominee’입니다. 유명한 음악상인 Grammy Award의 후보들은 ‘Grammy Award nominees’ 또는 ‘Grammy nominees’라 불립니다.

Although she had been the Fed’s vice chairman since 2010 and would make history as the first woman to hold the job, President Obama’s aides made clear throughout the summer that he wanted Lawrence H. Summers, his former chief economic adviser.

Make history

‘Make history’는 ‘역사를 만들다’, ‘역사에 남을 일을 하다’입니다.

Second, despite their frustrations, these production managers felt that they were making history and that John was an inspired leader.

Former

‘Former’는 ‘前’, ‘前職’입니다. ‘Former President’, ‘Former CEO’와 같이 사용할 수 있습니다.
