Sample Sentences
今天一早打的来学校,刚好就听到广播里头在说“人民币入篮”什么的,你听说了吗?那是什么呀?
In the taxi on my way to school this morning, I happened to hear that the renminbi has been "included in the basket". Did you hear about it? What does that mean?
喔,你说的是IMF于当地时间十一月三十在美国把人民币纳入SDR货币篮子的事儿吧。
Oh, you're talking about the decision by the IMF to include the renminbi in the SDR basket on January 30 US local time.
哈,我记得我记得,不好意思,IMF呢是国际货币基金组织,里头有个特别提款权就叫做SDR,也被称为货币篮子。
Ha, I remember, I remember, sorry. IMF stands for the International Monetary Fund, and within that there are special drawing rights, or SDR, also referred to as the currencies basket.
那我就来科普一下了,SDR货币篮子里头原来有,美元、欧元、英镑、日元这四种货币。它是在二战后的布雷顿森林体系出现危机后应运而生的新的货币体系。
OK, I'll give you a lesson in popular economics. The SDR currencies basket originally included four currencies, the US dollar, the Euro, the British Pound and the yen. It was a new currency system that took root in the wake of the crisis in the Bretton Woods system after World War II.
究竟SDR要做些什么,人民币纳入SDR就马上生效了吗?
So what are SDR for? When the renminbi is included in SDR is it effective immediately?
并不是哦,新的货币篮子正式生效得到2016年十月一日。届时人民币的权重将为百分之十点九二。SDR是IMF成员国对可自由使用货币配额的潜在债权。通俗地说就是当IMF成员国没有钱的时候,可以用自己分到的份额先抵债。
Not at all. The new basket of currencies will formally go into effect on October 1, 2016. At that time the renminbi will be given a weighting on 10.92%, SDR are a potential claim on the freely usable currencies of IMF members. In layman's terms, whenever IMF members don't have any money, they can use their corresponding share to pay their debts.
首先当然意味着人民币成为了一种新的储备货币了,中国将在未来世界经济活动中争取到更大的话语权。这是对中国一系列具有重大意义经济改革的认可,更是对中国政府未来遵守市场化规则的认可,具有很大的象征意义。
First of all it means, of course, that the renminbi has become a new reserve currency, which gives China a bigger say in future global economic affairs. This serves as an affirmation of a series of significant economic reforms in China and an acknowledgement that the Chinese government will respect market principles in the future, which has great symbolic meaning.
喔,意思是如果某人缺钱花了,可以先临时从家里借点儿垫着,救个急的意思咯。那么国际货币基金组织宣布人民币纳入SDR,这意味着什么?
Oh, does that mean if someone spends all their money, they can temporarily borrow some from home to tide them over, like in case of an emergency. So what does it mean that the International Monetary Fund included the renminbi in the SDR?
当然不是,从中国国内的情况来看,人民币加入SDR将催化推动国内金融改革,中国的资产价格将逐步跟国际接轨,资产泡沫问题将逐步得到解决。
Of course not, in terms of domestic affairs, the renminbi's inclusion in the SDR basket will serve as a catalyst for domestic financial reform. The price of property in China will gradually be brought into line with the international community and the property bubble problem will gradually get resolved.
难道人民币加入SDR仅仅只有象征意义吗?
The renminbi being included in the SDR basket can't just have symbolic meaning, can it?
