dollar是美国、加拿大等国的货币单位,译作“元”。该词于1553年进入英语,它源于1518年在波希米亚(Bohemia)铸造的一种银币的名称。波希米亚现为捷克斯洛伐克的一部分,但在古代它是欧洲的一个王国。由于这种银币产生于波希米亚的约阿欣山谷(德语为Joachimsthal),被称作Joachimsthalcr。同时由于这种银币是由斯刻里克(Schlick)地区的伯爵们生产经营的,所以有时也被称作Schlick enthaler。这两个名称后来都被缩写为thaler,以后这个德语词汇thaler又演变成低地德语(在德意志北部和西部使用的德语)的daler和荷兰语的daalder,并由低地德语和荷兰语进入英语,最后演变成dollar(可缩写成dol.或d.),其符号是$或(?)。目前dollar作为一种货币单位有以下几种主要种类:U.S.Adollar,(美元),又称U.S.dollar或American dollar.在美国、美属萨摩亚、关岛、约翰斯顿岛、中途岛、巴拿马运河区、波多黎各、特立斯和凯
The dollar is the currency unit of the United States, Canada and other countries, translated as “yuan.” The word entered English in 1553 and it originated from the name of a silver coin cast in Bohemia in 1518. Bohemia is now part of Czechoslovakia, but in ancient times it was a kingdom of Europe. Since this silver coin was born in Joachimsthal in Bohemia (Joachimsthal in German), it is called Joachimsthalcr. At the same time, this silver coin is sometimes called Schlick enthaler because it is produced by the Earl of the Schlick region. Both names were later abbreviated as thaler, and later the German thaler evolved into lower German (German used in the north and west of Germany) daler and Dutch daalder, and entered English from Low German and Dutch, and finally It evolved into dollar (abbreviated as dol. or d.) and its symbol is $ or (?). At present, dollar as a currency unit has the following major categories: USAdollar, (US dollar), also known as USdollar or American dollar.
