It sets the standard against which other things are measured. In economics, the term describes how major trading nations once used gold to set currency values and exchange rates. Many nations continued to use the gold standard until the last century. 某種東西最好的例子通常被人們稱作“金標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”, 它設(shè)定了對其他事物的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。在經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域,該詞語描述了過去主要貿(mào)易國家之間如何用黃金來設(shè)定貨幣價(jià)值和匯率。直到上個(gè)世紀(jì),許多國家還一直沿用金本位貨幣制度。 In the United States, people could exchange paper money for gold from the eighteen seventies until nineteen thirty-three. President Richard Nixon finally disconnected the dollar from the value of gold in nineteen seventy-one. Some politicians from time to time call for a return to the gold standard. 在美國, 從19世紀(jì)70年代到1933年之間人們可以用紙幣兌換黃金。尼克松總統(tǒng)在1971年最終切斷美元與黃金之間的價(jià)值聯(lián)系。一些政客不時(shí)呼吁回歸金本位貨幣制度。 But in nineteen seventy-eight the International Monetary Fund ended an official gold price. The IMF also ended the required use of gold in transactions with its member countries. 但是在1978年,國際貨幣基金組織結(jié)束了官方黃金價(jià)格。該組織也停止要求其成員國之間使用黃金進(jìn)行交易。 Since that time, gold prices have grown, but unevenly. Prices -- uncorrected for inflation -- are now at record highs. The current price is above fourteen hundred dollars an ounce. 從那時(shí)起,黃金價(jià)格開始上漲,但不穩(wěn)定。未經(jīng)通脹率修正的黃金價(jià)格目前已創(chuàng)歷史新高。目前的價(jià)格是一盎司高于一千四百美元。 But people keep buying. Neang Chan Nuon is a gold shop owner in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh. 但人們還是繼續(xù)購買。Neang Chan Nuon是柬埔寨首都金邊一家金鋪的老板。 NEANG CHAN NUON: "Some of my customers have even bought more as they believe the price will probably go higher. I sell more gold at these higher prices." Neang Chan Nuon:“我的一些顧客甚至買得比以前更多,因?yàn)樗麄兿嘈沤饍r(jià)會繼續(xù)上漲。價(jià)格越高,我賣得越多! Some people are "gold bugs." These are investors who say people should buy gold to protect against inflation. 有些人是熱衷于黃金,這些投資者認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該購買黃金來對抗通貨膨脹。 People have valued gold for thousands of years. The soft, dense metal polishes to a bright yellow shine and resists most chemical reactions. It makes a good material for money, political power -- and, more recently, electrical power. If you own a device like a mobile phone or a computer, you might own a little gold in the wiring. 幾千年來,人們都非?粗攸S金。這種柔軟,高密度金屬擦亮后閃耀著黃色的光芒,還能夠抵抗大部分化學(xué)反應(yīng),是用作金錢和政治權(quán)力的良好材料——最近,還被用于電力系統(tǒng)。如果你擁有像手機(jī)或電腦這樣的設(shè)備,從這些設(shè)備的接線上,你可能發(fā)現(xiàn)少量黃金。 The gold standard was the subject of one of the best-known speeches in American political history. It took place at the eighteen ninety-six Democratic National Convention in Chicago. 金本位貨幣制度是美國政治歷史上最著名的講話中的一個(gè)主體。它發(fā)生在1896年芝加哥民主國民會議上。 William Jennings Bryan wanted the country to use both gold and silver as money. The idea was to devalue the dollar and make it easier for farmers pay their debts. Here is Bryan reading his speech much later, in nineteen twenty-one. William Jennings Bryan希望美國使用黃金和白銀來作為貨幣。當(dāng)時(shí)的想法是為了讓美元貶值,讓農(nóng)民更容易償還債務(wù)。以下是1921年布萊安后來朗讀他的講話的錄音。 WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN: "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." William Jennings Bryan:“你們不該把帶刺的王冠壓在勞動人民的額頭上;你們也不該將人類釘死在金制的十字架上.” The speech made William Jennings Bryan famous. He was a presidential candidate three times. But he never won. 這次演講使William Jennings Bryan聞名于世。他三次成為總統(tǒng)候選人,但他從未贏得選舉。[ Last edited by 劉秀玉 on 2012-6-9 at 10:05 ] |
