Double First-rate

Use the extra money to make double or triple payments on these debts, focusing first on the one with the highest interest rate.

瞄准息利率最高的款项，用余钱以两到三倍的高速度还清款项。

The unemployment rate hit 10.2% in October, up sharply from 9.8% in September, the first time it has reached double digits since 1983.

10月份的失业率高达10.2%，比九月份的9.8%高出了2.2%。这是自1983年以来，失业率首次达到了两位数。

The economy grew at just a 1.8% annual rate in the first quarter and probably only a little faster in the second. Though not a double dip that barely qualifies as a recovery.

第一季度经济增长率仅为1.8%，第二季度也不会有太大转机，要能称得上恢复，经济增长率至少还得翻番才行。
