《紐約時報》今日「擱淺」：12 月 27 日星期五的提示、Spangram 和答案

"We either fix this or go de facto bankrupt," Musk posted to X, quoting a post from the prediction market Kalshi's account that warned the U.S. "has a severe spending problem [with] current national debt is now at $36 trillion and growing" and proposing a "potential solution" in the form of Musk's Doge department of government efficiency—named for the bitcoin-inspired meme-based dogecoin.

馬斯克在X 上發文表示：「我們要么解決這個問題，要么事實上破產。」他引用了預測市場Kalshi 帳戶上的一篇帖子，警告美國「存在嚴重的支出問題，目前的國債已達36 萬億美元，並且還在不斷增長」並以馬斯克的 Doge 政府效率部門的形式提出了一個「潛在的解決方案」——以受比特幣啟發的基於 meme 的狗狗幣命名。

The U.S. debt has soared over recent years, topping $34 trillion at the beginning of 2024, with Covid and lockdown stimulus measures contributing to massive government spending and helping to send inflation spiraling out of control in 2022.

近年來，美國債務飆升，2024 年初突破 34 兆美元，新冠疫情和封鎖刺激措施導致政府巨額支出，並導致 2022 年通膨失控。

Inflation of over 10% forced the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates at a historical clip, pushing up debt interest payments and fueling fears of a "death spiral."

超過10%的通貨膨脹迫使聯準會以歷史性的速度升息，推高了債務利息支付並加劇了對「死亡螺旋」的擔憂。

Musk's campaign against excessive U.S. spending has resulted in the creation of the Doge Department Of Government Efficiency, which Musk has said he believes could strip $2 trillion from U.S. spending.

馬斯克反對美國過度支出的運動導致了總督政府效率部門的成立，馬斯克表示，他認為該部門可能會導緻美國支出減少 2 兆美元。

The Doge department is a nod to the shiba inu doge meme that's also linked to the dogecoin cryptocurrency, named by Elon Musk as his "favorite" cryptocurrency and accepted as payment by his Tesla car company—though Tesla continues to hold around 10,000 bitcoin worth around $800 million on its balance sheet.

Doge 部門是對shiba inu doge meme 的致敬，它也與狗狗幣加密貨幣相關，埃隆馬斯克將狗狗幣命名為他「最喜歡的」加密貨幣，並被他的特斯拉汽車公司接受為付款方式－儘管特斯拉仍然持有價值約10,000 枚的比特幣資產負債表上有8億美元。

Earlier this year, Trump floated the idea he could use bitcoin to "pay off our $35 trillion—hand them a little crypto check, right? We'll hand them a little bitcoin and wipe out our $35 trillion," he said.

今年早些時候，川普提出了他可以使用比特幣「還清我們的35 兆美元——給他們一點加密支票，對嗎？我們會給他們一點比特幣，然後抹掉我們的35 萬億美元」的想法，他說。

In July, Trump promised to create a "strategic national bitcoin reserve" and predicted bitcoin could eclipse gold's $16 trillion market capitalization during an appearance at the Bitcoin 2024 conference.

今年 7 月，川普在比特幣 2024 年會議上承諾建立“國家比特幣戰略儲備”，並預測比特幣可能超越黃金 16 兆美元的市值。

Earlier this month, Trump confirmed he plans to create a U.S. bitcoin reserve.

本月早些時候，川普證實他計劃建立美國比特幣儲備。

"We're gonna do something great with crypto because we don’t want China, or anybody else … but others are embracing it, and we want to be ahead," Trump told CNBC. "Yes, I think so," Trump said in response to a question about whether the U.S. will create a bitcoin strategic reserve similar to its oil reserve.

川普對 CNBC 表示：“我們將利用加密貨幣做一些偉大的事情，因為我們不想要中國或其他任何人……但其他人正在擁抱它，我們希望領先。” 「是的，我認為是這樣，」川普在回答有關美國是否會建立類似於石油儲備的比特幣戰略儲備的問題時說道。

Republican senator Cynthia Lummis introduced a bill to congress earlier this year, entitled the Boosting Innovation, Technology and Competitiveness Through Optimized Investment Nationwide (BITCOIN) Act, which proposes the U.S. buy 1 million bitcoins over five years to reduce the spiraling $35 trillion U.S. national debt.

共和黨參議員辛西婭·盧米斯(Cynthia Lummis) 今年早些時候向國會提出了一項名為《通過全國優化投資促進創新、技術和競爭力(BITCOIN) 法案》的法案，該法案建議美國在五年內購買100 萬枚比特幣，以減少不斷攀升的35 兆美元美國公債。

受唐納德·川普可能…[+]貫徹其創建美國比特幣儲備計劃的猜測的推動，比特幣價格今年飆升。

"As we head into 2025, it will be a historic year for digital assets as the U.S. adopts bitcoin as a national reserve currency," Tim Kravchunovsky, founder and CEO of the decentralized telecommunications network Chirp, said via email. "Despite the ongoing uncertainty around this, I’m convinced this will happen sooner rather than later—likely within a few months of president-elect Donald Trump being inaugurated."

去中心化電信網路Chirp 的創始人兼執行長Tim Kravchunovsky 透過電子郵件表示：「進入2025 年，對於數位資產來說，這將是歷史性的一年，因為美國採用比特幣作為國家儲備貨幣。 」 “儘管目前存在不確定性，但我相信這會發生得宜早不宜遲——很可能在當選總統唐納德·特朗普就職後的幾個月內發生。”

Some bitcoin price and crypto market watchers have warned the bitcoin price could crash back if Trump fails to deliver on his promised bitcoin plans, however.

然而，一些比特幣價格和加密貨幣市場觀察家警告稱，如果川普未能兌現其承諾的比特幣計劃，比特幣價格可能會暴跌。
