China’s central bank has burnt through nearly half a trillion dollars in foreign reserves to support its currency since August, despite criticism that it has betrayed its commitment to let market forces drive the exchange rate. 自去年8月以来，中国央行已烧掉了近5000亿美元外汇储备以支撑人民币汇率——尽管有批评意见认为该行背弃了让市场力量在更大程度上决定汇率的承诺。 Sources close to the central bank said the intervention, while costly, had been necessary to maintain economic confidence and prevent a disorderly depreciation that could have had ripple effects far beyond the currency. 与这家央行关系密切的人士表示，这一干预行为尽管代价巨大，但对于维护经济信心和阻止人民币无序贬值是必要的。无序贬值可能会产生远超人民币本身的涟漪效应。 |
