新版十元美鈔將印女性頭像

Move over Alexander Hamilton. You're getting company on the $10 bill and her name is ...
印在10元美鈔上的亞歷山大·漢密爾頓（Alexander Hamilton）將不再孤單，他新同伴的名字是……

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.
美國財政部部長雅各布·盧（Jack Lew）表示，從2020年開始，新版十元美鈔將印上一位女性的頭像——以紀(jì)念美國憲法第19條修正案生效100周年。該修正案賦予了女性投票權(quán)。

A decision on who the woman will be won't be made for several months.
數(shù)月后具體的女性人選才會敲定。

The last woman on U.S. paper currency was Martha Washington, who was on the $1 Silver Certificate between 1891 and 1896.
上一位出現(xiàn)在美國紙幣上的女性是瑪莎·華盛頓（Martha Washington）。她出現(xiàn)在1891年到1896年間發(fā)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(fā)行以來，對于印在上面的頭像我們只做過幾次改變。這將是一百多年來第一次將女性頭像印在10元美鈔上，對此我感到非常自豪，”盧這樣說道。

Lew, who will make the final decision on who will grace the currency, is asking the public for help.
盧擁有最終的決定權(quán)，目前他正在征求民意。

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(wǎng)站，并通過在社交媒體發(fā)布有關(guān)新版10元美鈔的話題來征求意見。

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(biāo)準(zhǔn)是什么？盧希望印刷在新紙幣上的女性能體現(xiàn)美國民主，并且按照法律，她必須已去世。

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.
漢密爾頓是美國首任財政部部長，從1929年開始就被印在10元美鈔上。此前，10元美鈔上印的是美國第7任總統(tǒng)安德魯·杰克遜（Andrew Jackson）的頭像。

Jackson moved to the $20 bill, where he remains today.
杰克遜的頭像隨后被印到了20元美鈔上，保留至今。

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.
在近期呼吁美元上印上女性頭像的運動中，20元美鈔的呼聲是最高的。但是財政部已經(jīng)確定重新設(shè)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.
盧說，美鈔的更新?lián)Q代主要出于安全考慮。美鈔印上女性頭像的強烈訴求正好遇上了10元美鈔需要更新，這完全是個“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會保留，但會是和女性頭像印在一起，還是獨立發(fā)行，這仍然有待商榷。

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元美鈔不會立刻消失，因為目前還有大概19億張10元美鈔在流通。

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.
美鈔的另一創(chuàng)新就是，新版10元美鈔上將帶有“紙面觸覺特征”（tactile feature），以便盲人辨識美鈔面額。
