Dillon:Note issue in Japan is controlled by the Bank of Japan ,isn't it ?

狄龍：日本的紙幣發(fā)行是由日本銀行控制嗎?

Banker:Yes,the Bank of Japan has statutory authority to issue yen currency and coinage which is the sole legal tender in Japan.

銀行家：是的，在發(fā)行日元和硬幣方面，日本銀行擁有法定性的權(quán)威，它所發(fā)行的日元和硬幣是日本唯一的法幣。

D;I have heard a lot about redenomination in Japan .Do you expect that to take place soon ?

狄龍：我聽到了許多有關(guān)日本打算重新規(guī)定日元單位面額的消息，您預(yù)料這件事會很快著手進(jìn)行嗎?

B;That's a very good question,Mr.Dillon ,and I wish I could answer it .

銀行家：這是個很好的問題：狄龍先生，我真希望能回答這個問題。

The Bank of Japan has had that issue under discussion for a long time ,but it hasn't been resolved yet .

實際上，日本銀行就這個問題已討論很久，但仍未做出決定。

D:When was the bank founded ?

狄龍：該銀行是什么時候建立的?

B:It was established in 1882 and patterned on the National Bank of Belgium .

銀行家：它是1822年按照比利時國民銀行的模式建立的，

Its note-issuing provisions were modeled on those of the German Central Bank .

它的貨幣發(fā)行章程是仿照德國中央銀行制定的。

D:Is it a government agency ?

狄龍：它是一個政府機構(gòu)嗎?

B:Yes,since 1942 it has been an agency of the government in actual practice .

銀行家：是的，從1942年起，日本銀行在實際業(yè)務(wù)方面已成為政府的機構(gòu)，

While it was originally founded by private stockholders ,the finance minister has had direct authority over its management since its charter was modified in 1942.

雖然它原本是由私人股東創(chuàng)辦起來的。但是，自從1942年它的章程修訂以后，財政部長對于這個銀行管理有著直接的權(quán)威。

D:It's very much like the Bank of England ,then .That also started as a private institution .

狄龍：這一點很象當(dāng)時的英格蘭銀行，那個銀行開始時也是一個私人機構(gòu)。

B:In the respect it is similar .But the Bank of Japan has a much broader charter to undertake all kinds of financial activities ,

銀行家：在這方面是相似的。但是日本銀行擁有更加廣泛的職權(quán)從事各種財政金融活動，

as directed by the Cabinet .

這是在內(nèi)閣直接指揮下進(jìn)行的。
