% y. v7 H5 N, H1 Q( Z+ n  P  约翰逊:对,是在1971年12月签订的。在史密森协定和随后的一些协定的指导下,固定的外汇汇率制度转变为浮动汇变幻无率制度。在这个制度中,以各种货币价值的波动来恢复国际收支差额的平衡。
. G- g5 `3 I0 {  {0 C* e, Y& Z8 i  B:So you mean that foreign exchange rates are new free to change according to the laws ofsupply and demand?, f/ Z" \' u2 U; m  ^1 b
  布莱克:那么,您是说,现在外汇汇率是按照供需规律自由是变化?  d0 L2 t& r( @" T; h; p  B1 ?
  J:Not quite .Actually ,we now have a managed floating exchange rate system,or what many people call a dirty float system .
" H, E6 t2 @# U+ S' @  约翰逊:也不完全是这样。实际上,我们现在建立了一个受管制的浮动汇率制度,即许多人称之为:受限制的浮动外汇制度“。

  central banks still intervene in the market by buying or selling large amounts of foreign currenciesto prevent wide-ranging fluctuations.
, L+ V9 v) r! G6 a$ Z  `  但中央银行仍然使用买进或卖出大量外币的办法来防止大幅度的外汇浮动,以此来干预外汇市场。! C7 Y% A5 e1 g  |7 Z( |
  B:Why do they do this ?Wouldn’t a clean float be better?
9 g9 F1 y8 x. n( g9 i1 }  布莱克:他们为什么要这样做呢? 不受限制的汇率浮动会不会更好些呢?! h% h- f( J6 j2 H1 F* ?
  J:Well,a clean float means that the parity rate of various currencies would go up or go down torestore balance-of -payments equilibrium.
) i. L7 s3 c! M" J  约翰逊:不受限制的汇率浮动意味着各种货币的比价能以涨价或跌价来恢复国际收支差额的平衡。
6 B$ Z! R, d+ V8 ?& p, l  Therefore ,a country’s international trade position could be affected by an appreciation of itscurrency ./ O1 F, `. I/ `! q
  因此,一个国家的外贸地位会因为它的货币的增值而受到影响了。, S4 T! j9 Y" o  O& c& S9 @
  B:Oh ,I see.So governments must consider their internal fiscal and political requirements ,too.$ d- Q: _1 o4 T- d2 X

" |' O+ Z7 l7 P: `: C8 r  J:Yes,that’s right .That’s why it takes a great deal of international cooperation to make the presentsystem work .
$ F, P3 k, @; f; a  K/ W/ M  约翰逊:对,是这样的。这就是为什么需要大量国际间协作才会使得这个现行制度发挥作用。
