人民币这一年升值得真快我手里的美金都贬值好多了
rénmínbì 人民币zhèyīnián 这一年shēngzhí 升值de 得zhēn 真kuài 快wǒ 我shǒu lǐ 手里de 的měijīn 美金dōu 都biǎnzhí 贬值hǎoduō 好多le 了
The Chinese yuan has gone up really quickly this year! My American dollars have depreciated a lot!
谁叫你不早换人民币现在吃亏了吧
shéi 谁jiào 叫nǐ 你bù 不zǎo 早huàn 换rénmínbì 人民币xiànzài 现在chīkuī 吃亏le 了ba 吧
No one stopped you from exchanging them for Chinese yuan sooner. Now you’ll have to take your losses!
嗯不过汇率变动很难说我哪料得到啊而且我觉得人民币和美金这种强势货币还是比较稳定的

Yeah, but exchange rate fluctuations are hard to predict, how could I have known? Plus, I think that these kinds of major currencies, such as the Chinese yuan and American dollar, are still relatively stable.
有道理哎你知道现在一欧元兑换多少人民币吗
yǒu 有dàolǐ 道理āi 哎nǐ 你zhīdào 知道xiànzài 现在yī 一Ōuyuán 欧元duìhuàn 兑换duōshao 多少rénmínbì 人民币ma 吗
That makes sense. Hey, do you know the conversion for one euro to Chinese yuan now?
