fiat money

基本解释

Since 1971 we have been on a totally fiat money, but the gold stock of the Fed has been arbitrarily valued by U.S. statutes at $42.22 an ounce.
自1971年以来我们完全处在了法定货币体系下，但是美联储的黄金储备却被美国法律武断的定在了42.22美元/盎司，如此低估的金价相当荒谬，考虑到近年来国际上的黄金价格已经达到了350美元到380美元/盎司。
Yet a few weeks ago, former FedChairman Alan Greenspan himself, speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, warned that "fiat money has no place to go but gold."
可就在几个星期之前，前美联储主席艾伦·格林斯潘本人亲口在外事委员会上警告说：“法定货币的出路只能是黄金”。
We've been dealing with a system now for, oh, 70 years or better, of fiat money – money that's backed with nothing.
现在我们已经用了好说70年的时间，一直在处理法定货币制度——没有什么做衬垫的货币。
