Dan: Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.

I'm Dan and joining me today is Neil. Hey Neil. من دن هستم و نیل امروز به من می پیوندد. هی نیل

Neil: Hello Dan. What's on the agenda today? ||||||program| ||||||agenda| ||||||pauta|

Dan: Well, I'll give you a clue. ||||||gợi ý ||||||indice ||||||hint ||||||dica دن: خوب، من به شما یک سرنخ می دهم.

It's something that makes the world go round, |||||||回る |||||||gira این چیزی است که دنیا را می چرخاند،

but it doesn't really exist. ||||exist

In fact, if we all stopped believing in it, |||||||v to|

it would have no use at all!

What is it?

Neil: I haven't got a clue! ||ない|||

Dan: Ok...how about this?

Neil: Money!

Dan: Yep! And not just any money, 丹：是的！而且不只是钱，

we're talking about crypto-currency. |||kryptomena| |||tiền điện tử| |||cryptocurrency| |||criptomoeda| |||加密貨幣|貨幣

Neil: Currency is the money that's being used |貨幣|||||| ||||money||| |moeda corrente||||||

in a given country at a certain time. ||||||特定的| ||specific||||specific|time ||||||特定の| 在特定时间的特定国家。

But what about the crypto part? でも||は|||部分 ||||cripto|

Dan: Well, 'crypto' is a prefix meaning hidden or secret. |||||beginning of word|||| |||||prefixo|||| |||||tiền tố|||| |||||predpona||skrytý|| |||||前綴|||| |||||接頭辞|||| 丹：嗯，“crypto”是一个前缀，意思是隐藏或秘密。

It comes from the word cryptic, |||||kryptický |||||huyền bí |||||Mysterious, hidden meaning |||||暗号の |||||críptica

which means mysterious or difficult to understand. ||záhadný|||| ||huyền bí|||| ||mysterious|||| ||||||理解

You may have heard about the most

popular crypto-currency at the moment, |cryptocurrency||||

the Bitcoin. |Bitcoin |比特幣

Neil: Well I've certainly heard the name, 尼尔：我当然听说过这个名字，

but I can't say I know what it is. |||nói|||||

Dan: First our quiz question.

When was the Bitcoin crypto-currency first created?

Is it a) 2004

b) 2009 or c) 2013

Neil: Well, I think 2004 may have been a little early,

and I think 2013 could be a little late,

so the smart money's on 2009.

Dan: We'll see if you're right later on in the show.

So…Bitcoin, what do you know about it?

Neil: Well, I know it's a digital currency… |||||||para

so presumably you can use it online to buy things? |vermutlich|||||||| |Most likely|||||||| |おそらく|||||||| |presumivelmente|||||||| так что, предположительно, вы можете использовать его в Интернете для покупки вещей?

Dan: You are right on the money, Dan: Máš pravdu,

which means correct, что означает "правильно",

both times.

Bitcoin is just like any other currency 比特币就像任何其他货币一样

except for two things. ngoại trừ|||

First, it's not printed by governments or banks, |||印刷||||

which means that it's not legal tender. |||||legal|official currency ||||||moeda corrente ||||||tiền hợp pháp ||||||Zahlungsmittel ||||||法定貨幣 |||||法的|通貨 co oznacza, że nie jest legalnym środkiem płatniczym. 这意味着它不是法定货币。

Neil: Legal tender means the official money that |||||tiền chính thức||

can be used within a country.

So that means we can't use it to

pay taxes or settle debts, right? |||thanh toán|| |||pay off|financial obligations| |||返済する|借金| |||quitar|dívidas| płacić podatki lub regulować długi, prawda? Dan: Exactly.

Governments won't recognise it as an official currency, ||anerkennen||||| ||tanımayacak||||| Vlády ji neuznávají jako oficiální měnu, 政府不会承认它是官方货币，

although it acts just like one. mặc dù||hành động||| ačkoli se chová stejně jako on. 尽管它的作用就如同一个。

You can use it to buy items

from anyone who will accept it, 任何愿意接受它的人，

and its value fluctuates. |||biến động |||varies |||変動する |||flutua |||波動 并且其价值会波动。

Neil: Fluctuates means changes in level or amount. |波動||||||數量 尼尔：波动意味着水平或数量的变化。

And what's the second thing?

Dan: The second thing is that bitcoin is a

digital currency, meaning 數位||

that with the exception of a few tokens, |||apart from||||few elements |||||||tokens |||ngoại lệ||||các token |||例外||||標記 |||例外|||| |||||||tokenów 除少数代币外，

it largely exists online only. |主要|存在|| |mainly||| 它主要仅存在于网上。

You can't carry a load of bitcoins around in your pocket! ||mang||khối lượng||bitcoins|||| ||||large amount|||||| Nemůžete nosit v kapse spoustu bitcoinů! Nie możesz nosić w kieszeni mnóstwa bitcoinów! 你不能在口袋里随身携带大量比特币！

Neil: Well, that makes a nice… Neil: No, to je pěkný...

change! thay đổi změna!

Dan: Oh dear, Neil. Was that a money pun? Terrible! ||||||||play on words| ||||||||trocadilho| ||||||||雙關語| ||||||||espri| ||||||||hra slov| ||||||||言葉遊び| Dan: Ojej, Neil. Czy to był kalambur o pieniądzach? Okropne! 丹：哦天哪，尼尔。这是金钱双关语吗？糟糕的！

Neil: So if it's a digital only currency,

where do new ones come from? Skąd się biorą nowe? 新的从哪里来？

Can't I just say that I've got a million of them and 我不能说我有一百万个吗？

make myself rich!?

Dan: Well, no. You see,

even though Bitcoin is not regulated by a bank |||||regulated||| |||||規制されている||| přestože Bitcoin není regulován bankou. 尽管比特币不受银行监管

or government, it still has a process nebo vlády, stále má proces

that stops people from cheating. ||||tricher ||||aldatmak ||||trapaceando která lidem brání v podvádění.

There are only two ways to get bitcoins.

You either trade them from someone, ||troca||| Buď je od někoho vyměníte,

or you go mining. |||khai thác |||extracting minerals |||kopalnictwo |||mineração |||挖礦 nebo se věnujete těžbě.

Neil: Oh wait, I've heard about this.

This is when you use your computer to run calculations |||||||||tính toán |||||||||calculations |||||||||obliczenia |||||||||cálculos |||||||||計算 To je, když používáte počítač k provádění výpočtů. 这是当你使用计算机进行计算时

which verify other Bitcoin transactions. |xác minh|||giao dịch |verify||| ||||取引 ||||transações |驗證||| které ověřují další transakce s bitcoiny. 验证其他比特币交易。

You get rewarded for this ‘work' by earning bitcoins. ||được thưởng|||||| ||récompensé|||||| ||recompensado|||||| Za tuto "práci" jste odměněni ziskem bitcoinů.

Dan: Yep! It's money for old rope, ||||||dễ kiếm tiền ||||||corde ||||||easy money ||||||dinheiro fácil ||||||賺錢的簡單事 Dan: Jo! Jsou to peníze za staré lano, 丹：是的！这是用旧绳子换钱，

which means it's an easy way to earn money. |||||||make|

Neil: Wow! I'm going to start mining immediately! |||||||sofort ||||||extracting resources| Neil: Páni! Okamžitě začnu těžit! 尼尔：哇哦！我要马上开始挖矿了！

Dan: Well, you wouldn't be the only one! |||ない|||| 丹：好吧，你不是唯一一个！

Bitcoin's value has recently gone up quite a lot |||||||nhiều|

and this has caused a lot of interest. |||||||関心 这引起了人们的极大兴趣。

In fact, one stock exchange in Chicago ||||trading platform|| ||||取引所|| |||bolsa de valores|bolsa de valores||

has begun trading in Bitcoin futures contracts. |bắt đầu|||||hợp đồng 已经开始交易比特币期货合约。

Neil: A futures contract? What's that? ||期貨|合約|| |||契約||

Dan: I'll let BBC correspondent ||||phóng viên ||||news reporter ||||muhabir ||||記者 ||||記者

Rory Cellan-Jones explain that. Rory Cellan-Jones|Cellan-Jones|||

The futures contract, 先物契約、

a bet on where the currency will be a month from now, |賭け||||通貨|||||| 通貨が今から 1 か月後にどこにあるかに賭けます。 ставка на то, где будет находиться валюта через месяц, 押注一个月后货币的走势，

soared above 18,000 dollars. a grimpé|| exceeded 18,000 dollars|| subiu acima|| tăng vọt|| yükseldi|| 上昇した|| 18,000ドルを超えました。

That means investors believe Bitcoin, つまり、投資家はビットコインを信じており、

will continue to rise in value, albeit at a slower rate. ||||||bien|||| ||||||although at a|||| ||||||embora de||||taxa ||||||mặc dù vậy|||| ||||||儘管如此|||| ||||||ただし|||| 緩やかではあるが、価値は上昇し続けるだろう。 其价值将继续上升，尽管速度会有所放缓。

But at the big banks there's still plenty of scepticism |||||||nhiều||sự hoài nghi |||||||||doubt |||||||||懐疑的な態度 |||||||||懷疑態度

about the currency.

Neil: Soared in this context means |increased significantly||||

increased very quickly.

So, now big investors are betting on the value of Bitcoin |||大型投資者||||||| |||||placing bets||||| |||||apostando||||| |||||đặt cược|||||

in the future.

Dan: Yes. But he also mentioned that the banks |||||referred to||| 丹：是的。但他也提到银行

That's a doubt that something is real or true. ||doubt|||||| 那是对某事是否真实存在怀疑。

I asked you when the Bitcoin crypto-currency

was first created.

a) 2004

b) 2009 or c) 2013

Neil: And I said 2009.

Dan: And you were right! Well done.

Neil: First we had currency. ||||通貨

That's the money being used

in a given country at a certain time. v dané zemi v určitém čase. 在特定时间的特定国家。

Name three currencies and their countries, Dan. ||tiền tệ|||| ||通貨||||
