Intent on

    专注于

    继春节前上调MLF利率后，央行节后首个工作日上调中短期政策利率，意味着2016年货币政策较为宽松的局面一去不复返。请看本报昨日的报道：

    The central bank surprised financial markets Friday by raising short-term interest rates on the first day back from a long holiday, in a further sign of policy tightening as the economy shows signs of steadying.

    While the rate increases were modest, they reinforced views that authorities are intent on both containing capital outflows and reining in risks to the financial system created by years of debt-fueled stimulus.

    Higher interest rates could prod debt-laden firms into deleveraging, though at the risk of stunting growth.

    报道中的intent on就是“专注于、决心要做”，例如：

    He is one of those who always seem intent on stirring up trouble among his workmates.

    他属于有意要在工友之间挑起纠纷的那种人。
