The term “stable prices” is self-explanatory: a bundle of goods will cost the same ten, 50, or even 100 years from now. By contrast, if a country experiences 2% inflation over a ten-year period, the same items that $100 can buy today will cost $122 at the end of the decade.
“物价稳定”一词顾名思义是指一揽子商品今后十年、50年甚至100年价格都不会变。相反，如果一国以每年2%的通胀度过十年吗，那么今天100美元可以买到的东西，十年好需要花122美元购买。100年后，价格标签将变成724美元。
