巨無霸指數報告：瑞士法郎是全世界最昂貴的貨幣

想知道哪裏的東西最貴嗎？巨無霸指數告訴你，是瑞士，因爲瑞士法郎是世界上最昂貴的貨幣。偏偏瑞士又是國人最熱愛的旅遊地之一，所以去瑞士如果想吃得飽玩得爽一定要帶足了銀子。挪威、瑞典這兩個能看到美麗極光的北歐國家的物價僅次於瑞士。英國的東西出乎意料地“便宜”，英國漢堡的價格比新加坡和哥斯達黎加還低。那麼哪個國家的東西最便宜呢？一起來看看“巨無霸指數”的最新報告。

Switzerland has retained its position as one of the most expensive spots in the world to buy a Big Mac, as the Swiss franc remains strong against all major currencies.
瑞士仍然是全世界巨無霸漢堡包價錢最貴的地方，這是由於瑞士法郎兌其他主要貨幣持續保持着強勁的勢頭。

The famed McDonald's burger will set you back 6.50 Swiss francs in the Alpine state - that works out at more than £5.20 ($6.35) for the patty sandwich alone, no fries or drink included.
在這個阿爾卑斯山脈橫跨的國家，聞名全球的麥當勞漢堡售價6.50瑞士法郎——單買夾肉餅的三明治的話，要花5.20英鎊（6.35美元），其中不包括薯條和飲料。

The findings, exhibited in the Economist's Big Mac index, imply that the Swiss franc is overvalued by a meaty 25.5 percent.
《經濟學人》巨無霸指數的這一發現意味着，瑞士法郎被高估了25.5%，這十分耐人尋味。

The Big Mac index was created by The Economist magazine in 1986 as a way of comparing the relative values of different currencies.
《經濟學人》於1986年提出了巨無霸指數，用於比較各種貨幣的相對價值。

By comparing a product which is almost perfectly identical and on sale around the world, experts hoped to show the 'purchasing power' of each nation's money.
專家們通過比較世界通用、質量幾乎完全一樣的商品在各國的售價，來衡量各個國家貨幣的購買力。

Norway has the second priciest Big Mac in the world at £4.64 ($5.67), followed by Sweden £4.31 ($5.26), Venezuela £4.30 ($5.25), Brazil £4.19 ($5.12) and the US £4.14 ($5.06), according to the so-called Big Mac index.

Britain comes 16th on the list, with Big Macs Costing £3.09 ($3.73) - less than they do in Singapore and Costa Rica.
英國排名第16，英國巨無霸價格是3.09英鎊（合3.73美元）——比新加坡和哥斯達黎加的價格更低。

The scaling suggests that the pound is currently undervalued by 26.3 percent against the dollar, as the sterling's strength continues to dwindle.
該對比表明，隨着英鎊的持續走弱，目前英鎊兌美元被低估了26.3%。

At the other end of the scale, Egypt is best value for money with a crippled Egyptian pound, as you can snap up a Big Mac in Cairo for a digestible £1.20 ($1.46).
在天平的另一邊，由於埃及磅暴跌，埃及的漢堡最物有所值。在開羅，你只需花費1.2英鎊（合1.46美元），就能吃到一個可口的巨無霸。

The price of Big Macs is compared against the standard US price for the product - which is currently $5.06, about £4.14 in sterling.

上週，美元兌墨西哥比索匯率觸及22.04，創歷史新低。美國候任總統特朗普警告美國汽車公司，如果把汽車交給墨西哥生產，則將面臨高額稅收，上週三墨西哥股指應聲下跌。
