美國財政部長雅各布盧(Jack Lew said a wom

　　U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said a woman will be featured on a redesigned $10 bill in 2020 -- the 100th anniversary of the Constitution's 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

　　美國財政部長雅各布布·盧(Jack Lew)據說從2023年開始，新版十元美鈔將印上一位女性的頭像——紀念美國憲法第19條修正案生效100周年。修正案賦予女性投票權。

　　Move over Alexander Hamilton. You're getting company on the $10 bill and her name is ...

　　亞歷山大印在10元美鈔上·漢密爾頓(Alexander Hamilton)他的新同伴的名字將不再孤單。……

　　U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said a woman will be featured on a redesigned $10 bill in 2020 -- the 100th anniversary of the Constitution's 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

　　美國財政部長雅各布布·盧(Jack Lew)據說從2023年開始，新版十元美鈔將印上一位女性的頭像——紀念美國憲法第19條修正案生效100周年。修正案賦予女性投票權。

　　A decision on who the woman will be won't be made for several months.

　　具體的女性候選人將在幾個月后敲定。

　　The last woman on U.S. paper currency was Martha Washington, who was on the $1 Silver Certificate between 1891 and 1896.

　　瑪莎是最后一個出現在美國紙幣上的女人·華盛頓(Martha Washington)。她出現在1891年至1896年發行的1美元銀元券上。

　　"We have only made changes to the faces on our currency a few times since bills were first put into circulation, and I'm proud that the new 10 will be the first bill in more than a century to feature the portrait of a woman," Lew said.

　　“自從美元發行以來，我們只對印在上面的頭像做了幾次改變。這將是100多年來第一次將女性頭像印在10元美元鈔票上。我為此感到非常自豪，”陸這樣說。

　　Lew, who will make the final decision on who will grace the currency, is asking the public for help.

　　盧有最終決定權，目前正在征求民意。

　　The department will launch a website, and is asking for input over social media with the hashtag #TheNew10.

　　財政部將新建網站，并通過在社交媒體上發布新版10元美元鈔票征求意見。

　　What's his criteria? Lew wants the next generation of U.S. currency to underscore the theme of American democracy. The portrait must also -- by law -- be of someone who is no longer living.

　　財政部長最終選擇的標準是什么？盧希望印在新紙幣上的女性能夠反映美國民主，并依法死亡。

　　Hamilton, who was the nation's first treasury secretary, has been on the $10 bill since 1929. He replaced Andrew Jackson, who was the seventh president.

　　漢密爾頓是美國第一任財政部長，自1929年以來一直印在10元美鈔上。此前，美國第七任總統安德魯印在10元美鈔上·杰克遜(Andrew Jackson)的頭像。

　　Jackson moved to the $20 bill, where he remains today.

　　杰克遜的頭像隨后印在20元美鈔上，至今保存至今。

　　The $20 was at the center of a recent campaign to put a woman on U.S. currency. But Treasury had already pegged the $10 as the next one to be updated.

　　在最近呼吁美元上印女性頭像的運動中，20元美鈔的呼聲最高。但財政部已決定重新設計10元美鈔。

　　Bills are flagged for updates mainly for security reasons, Lew said. It was a "happy coincidence" that a push to put a woman on American money happened as the $10 note came under consideration.

　　陸說，美鈔的更新主要是出于安全考慮。印在美鈔上的女性頭像的強烈訴求正好遇到了需要更新的10元美鈔，這完全是一個“完美的巧合”。

　　Lew said Hamilton will also be a part of the new design. He said it's up for discussion whether Hamilton will appear alongside a woman or be the centerpiece of one version of the new bill.

　　盧說漢密爾頓的頭像仍將保留，但仍有待討論是印在一起還是獨立發行。

　　Either way, the Hamilton $10 isn't going anywhere soon, since there are about 1.9 billion $10s in circulation today.

　　無論如何，印有漢密爾頓頭像的10元美鈔不會立即消失，因為流通中大約有19億張10元美鈔。

　　In another first for American greenbacks, the new $10 bill will include a "tactile feature" to allow blind people to distinguish it from other denominations.

　　美鈔的另一個創新是，新版10元美鈔將帶來“紙面觸覺特征”(tactile feature)，盲人識別美鈔面額。

　　Vocabulary

　　Silver Certificate： (舊時)銀券； 美國財政部公開發行的銀行券到期后可兌換白銀

　　hashtag：話題標簽

　　greenback： 美鈔

　　tactile： 觸覺的

　　denomination：(貨幣的) 面額
