經(jīng)濟(jì)是現(xiàn)代社會(huì)生活的重要組成部分，每天的新聞報(bào)道中都充滿了有關(guān)預(yù)算赤字、股票風(fēng)波、經(jīng)濟(jì)上揚(yáng)或衰退的消息。但是，貨幣、市場(chǎng)和經(jīng)濟(jì)到底是什么？全球或地區(qū)的經(jīng)濟(jì)究竟是如何運(yùn)作的？政府的政策又會(huì)如何影響到一個(gè)國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況呢？
請(qǐng)收聽金融世界！
現(xiàn)代人的衣食住行都離不開錢，也就是貨幣。
一個(gè)澳大利亞人要買些蘋果和香蕉，售貨員告訴他要付多少錢。

卡魯在她的介紹中說到這樣幾個(gè) 詞匯 ：
1 Precious metal 貴重金屬
2 Sweating the money 從貨幣里提取貴重金屬成分
3 Holey dollar 有洞的錢幣，這是十九世紀(jì)在澳大利亞新南威爾士州流通的貨幣，因?yàn)槿狈饘俨牧隙鴮㈠X幣穿洞
4 Token 輔幣，具有象征性的貨幣，代表的價(jià)值高于本身的價(jià)值
5 Plastic note 塑料鈔票
6 Plastic card （塑料）信用卡，也叫 credit card
下面我們逐段聽一遍卡魯?shù)倪@段談話：
Money's got a very colourful history, because a number of things have been used in the place of what we use as money. Feathers, shells, cloth ...salt in Roman times when the Roman soldiers were paid in salt and that's how we get the word salary, from the Latin sal for salt.
歷的貨幣五花八門。古時(shí)候，羽毛、貝殼、布料甚至鹽都曾是交換工具。古羅馬士兵得到的軍餉就是鹽。鹽這個(gè)詞也是英文“工資”這個(gè)詞的起源。拉丁文Sal的意思是鹽，英文中工資Salary就是從它演變而來的。
And a number of tribes used cattle, which were useful because they were transportable. But they were quite bulky and you weren't always sure of the size of cattle you were going to get, so there was a problem there of quality.
還有一些部落以牲畜作為交換媒介。這很有用，因?yàn)樯罂梢赃\(yùn)來運(yùn)去。但是它們體積龐大，而且無法確切知道你將要得到的牲畜的大小，因此存在質(zhì)量方面的問題。
In the ninth century in China we had paper money for the first time. It wasn't quite the paper money that we know, it was more like a piece of paper saying a promise to pay.
九世紀(jì)時(shí)在中國首次出現(xiàn)了紙幣。這種紙幣與我們現(xiàn)在使用的不同，更象是一種欠條。
