“存款利率”怎么说

央行决定，自2007年3月18日起上调金融机构人民币存贷款基准利率。金融机构一年期存款基准利率上调0.27个百分点，由现行的2.52%提高到2.79% 。请看外电相关报道：

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) raised lending and deposit rates by 0.27 percentage point at the weekend, the latest in a series of tightening measures by an increasingly activist central bank.

The PBOC said in an announcement late Saturday that the benchmark one-year lending rate would be increased to 6.39 per cent while the deposit rate would be set at 2.79 per cent.

报道中的“deposit rates”指的就是“存款利率”，“deposit”在此表示“存款”，如：Customers can make deposits or withdrawals in any of the bank's branches.（储户可在这家银行的任何一家分行存款和提款。）

此外，“一年期存款基准利率”相应的英文表达是“benchmark one-year deposit rates”。“Benchmark”指“央行制定的基准利率”，特定语境下（如“外汇牌价”），也可指央行制定的“基准汇率”或“参考汇率”。

顺便再提一下“贷款利率”，其相应的英文表达是“lending rates”。
