特朗普任命埃隆·马斯克领导新的“政府效率部”后，狗狗币飙升

狗狗币是一种加密货币，其吉祥物是一只超级可爱的狗，它会发出“哇哦”之类的声音，自唐纳德·特朗普上周赢得总统选举以来，狗狗币的价值一直在飙升。

Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency whose mascot is a Shiba Inu dog that muses things like “much wow,” has been surging in value since Donald Trump won the presidential election last week. It's hitting the afterburners now after Trump named Tesla's Elon Musk as one of the heads of a new “Department of Government Efficiency,” which is not a government agency but does have the acronym DOGE.

狗狗币是一种加密货币，其吉祥物是一只会发出“哇哦”之类的想法的柴犬，自唐纳德·特朗普上周赢得总统选举以来，狗狗币的价值一直在飙升。在特朗普任命特斯拉的埃隆·马斯克为新成立的“政府效率部”的负责人之一后，该部门现在正受到关注，该部门不是一个政府机构，但其缩写为 DOGE。

If you're chronically online, all this makes sense and is maybe humorous. For others, here's some explanation about what's going on.

如果您长期上网，那么这一切都是有道理的，而且可能还很幽默。对于其他人，这里有一些关于正在发生的事情的解释。

WHAT IS DOGECOIN?

什么是狗狗币？

It's a cryptocurrency, whose value rises and falls against the U.S. dollar based on however much people will pay for it.

它是一种加密货币，其价值相对于美元的上涨和下跌取决于人们愿意支付的金额。

At first, it was seen as a joke. But over time, dogecoin has amassed a group of fans who have periodically sent its price soaring. Like other cryptocurrencies, supporters say it could be used to buy and sell things on the internet without having to worry about a central bank or government affecting how many are in circulation.

起初，这被视为一个笑话。但随着时间的推移，狗狗币已经积累了一批粉丝，他们的价格周期性地飙升。与其他加密货币一样，支持者表示，它可以用于在互联网上买卖物品，而不必担心央行或政府影响流通量。

HOW MUCH HAS DOGECOIN CLIMBED?

狗狗币上涨了多少？

One dogecoin — which is pronounced “dohj-coin” — was worth less than 16 cents just before Election Day. It's since more than doubled to roughly 41.5 cents, as of midday Wednesday, according to CoinDesk.

就在选举日前夕，一枚狗狗币（读作“dohj-coin”）的价值还不到 16 美分。据 CoinDesk 称，截至周三中午，该价格已经上涨了一倍多，达到约 41.5 美分。

WHY IS IT CLIMBING SO MUCH?

为何涨幅如此之大？

Cryptocurrencies have generally been shooting higher since Trump's election. Bitcoin, which is the most famous digital currency, has set an all-time high above $92,000 after starting the year below $43,000.

自特朗普当选以来，加密货币普遍走高。比特币是最著名的数字货币，在年初低于 43,000 美元之后，已创下 92,000 美元以上的历史新高。

Excitement is racing because Trump has embraced crypto and said he wants the United States to be the “crypto capital of the planet” and create a bitcoin “strategic reserve.”

人们兴奋不已，因为特朗普已经拥抱了加密货币，并表示他希望美国成为“地球的加密货币之都”并创建比特币“战略储备”。
