So during the pandemic
economists
have turned to
“high-frequency” data,
largely produced by the private sector and generated by consumers’ and firms’ transactions
, to measure the economy in real time.
所以在疫情期间，经济学家转而使用“高频”数据（“高频”数据主要由私营部门发布，来源于消费者和公司的交易信息）来实时衡量经济。
插入语做修饰成分，是对“high-frequency” data的解释说明
美国联邦和州调查人员准备对Facebook提出反垄断诉讼，认为Facebook并购对手Instagram和WhatsApp后造成消费者权益受损。
More than 40 attorneys general and the U.S. government are preparing to
file
antitrust lawsuits against Facebook on Wednesday, alleging that the tech giant engaged in unlawful, anticompetitive tactics to buy or kill off its rivals and solidify its dominance in social networking.
40多名检察长和美国政府准备在周三对Facebook提起反垄断诉讼，指控这家科技巨头采取了非法的反竞争策略，来收购或消灭竞争对手，巩固其在社交网络中的主导地位。
The states’ lawsuit in particular is expected to allege that Facebook’s purchase of Instagram, a photo-sharing app, and WhatsApp, a messaging service, marked a pattern of behavior to neutralize competitive threats — allowing Facebook to become a market leader while depriving users of privacy-protective alternatives.
各州的诉讼将主要指控Facebook收购照片分享应用Instagram和消息服务WhatsApp的行为，这是一种消除竞争威胁的行为模式——可以让Facebook成为市场主导者，同时剥夺了用户使用其他保护隐私的替代产品的权利。
Three people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a law enforcement proceeding, described the lawsuits and their timing while cautioning that the plans could still change.
因透露的是执法程序信息，三名知情人士要求匿名处理，他们介绍了诉讼进展和时间安排，同时提醒计划仍有可能改变。
They said Democratic and Republican
attorneys general
, led by New York’s Letitia James (D), are expected to ask a judge as part of the legal
salvos
to consider a wide array of potential
redress
— including forcing Facebook to sell off some of its business to address competition concerns.
State officials are also expected to petition a judge to require Facebook to inform them before proceeding with any significant future transactions, according to the sources. The states are coordinating their lawsuit with the Federal Trade Commission, which joined the attorneys general in opening a probe into Facebook last year.
消息人士称，预计州政府官员还将向法官提出诉状，要求Facebook在未来进行重大交易之前都要通知他们。这些州正在与联邦贸易委员会协调他们的诉讼，后者去年与各总检察长一起，对Facebook展开调查。
