????美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬周三提名詹尼特?耶倫接替本?伯南克，出任下屆美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)（Federal Reserve）主席?，F(xiàn)在，很多美國(guó)人都已經(jīng)知道，耶倫作為美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)首位女性主席以及近30年來(lái)執(zhí)掌美國(guó)央行的首位民主黨人將被載入史冊(cè)。

????但有些事情你可能未必知道。

????耶倫57歲時(shí)還跑了一次半程馬拉松。

????周三，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在提名耶倫擔(dān)任下屆美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席時(shí)說(shuō)：“她是一位杰出的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，她很強(qiáng)悍，原因不只是因?yàn)樗齺?lái)自紐約布魯克林?！?/p>

????奧巴馬或許還應(yīng)該加上一句，今年67歲的耶倫很強(qiáng)悍，幾年前還跑完了一次半程馬拉松。她57歲的時(shí)候才迷上跑步，當(dāng)時(shí)她是加州大學(xué)伯克利分校（University of California-Berkley）的教授。13英里多的路程她花了約3小時(shí)。

????這需要體力。

????耶倫的集郵非常精美。

????這位經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)愛(ài)好者也是一個(gè)集郵迷。

????據(jù)美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)在8月份發(fā)布的年度財(cái)務(wù)披露文件顯示，耶倫是美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)理事當(dāng)中最富有的人之一，她的投資在2012年價(jià)值至少480萬(wàn)美元。

????在她的投資（大部分與其丈夫共同持有）中，包括價(jià)值15,000至50,000美元的郵票。顯然，她們家持有這項(xiàng)收藏已經(jīng)多年；耶倫從她母親那里繼承了差不多數(shù)額的郵票收藏。

????耶倫角逐美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席的主要對(duì)手是她的學(xué)生。

????是的，說(shuō)的就是拉里?薩默斯。

????1976年，耶倫在哈佛大學(xué)（Harvard University）擔(dān)任講師教授宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)時(shí)，薩默斯是班上的一名學(xué)生。

????多年之后，薩默斯擔(dān)任哈佛大學(xué)校長(zhǎng)，還成了美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席的熱門人選，結(jié)果他主動(dòng)退出了角逐，看著曾經(jīng)教過(guò)他的教授獲得了提名。

????哈佛這個(gè)圈子可真小。

????耶倫太愛(ài)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)了，她嫁給了經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)大師。

????耶倫出類拔萃，她丈夫在自己的領(lǐng)域同樣成績(jī)斐然。他就是獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家喬治?阿克洛夫。兩人于1977年相遇，當(dāng)時(shí)他們都是美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家。

????阿克洛夫憑借非對(duì)稱信息研究與另外兩位美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家共同奪得了2001年諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)，他也寫過(guò)很多有關(guān)金融危機(jī)和銀行監(jiān)管的著作。

????President Obama on Wednesday tapped Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve. By now, many Americans know Yellen could go down in history as the first woman to lead the Fed, as well as the first Democrat to head the central bank in almost 30 years.

????Here are a few facets you might not know about.

????At 57, Yellen ran a half marathon.

????As President Obama said Wednesday when he nominated Yellen to be the next Fed chair, "She is a proven leader and she's tough, not just because she's from Brooklyn."

????Obama should have added that Yellen, currently 67, is tough for having finished a half-marathon a few years ago. At 57, she took up running while a professor at the University of California-Berkley. The 13-plus mile run took her about three hours.

????Now that takes strength.

????Yellen has a fancy stamp collection.

????The lover of economics is also a lover of stamps.

????Yellen is one of the wealthiest members of the Federal Reserve board of governors, with investments worth at least $4.8 million in 2012, according to annual financial disclosures the Fed released in August.

????Included in her investments, mostly held jointly with her husband, is a stamp collection worth between $15,000 and $50,000. Apparently it has been in the family for years; Yellen inherited a stamp collection with that same range from her mother.

????Yellen's main rival for Fed Chair was also one of her students.

????Yup, that's Larry Summers.

????In 1976, Yellen was a lecturer at Harvard University teaching a macroeconomics class whereSummers was a student.

????Years later Summers would run Harvard University and become the frontrunner for Fed chair,only to withdraw himself from the contest and watch his former professor take the nomination.

????Harvard, it's a small world.

????Yellen loves economics so much she married economic greatness.

????Yellen is impressive, and so is her husband in his own right. He is Nobel Prize-winning economist George Akerlof, whom she met in 1977 when they were both economists at the Fed board.

????Akerlof shared the 2001 prize for his work on asymmetric information and has written about the financial crisis and banking regulation.
