感动!黑人头像终于被印上了美国纸币

African-American abolitionist and humanitarian Harriet Tubman, who led hundreds of slaves to freedom, will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

非洲裔美国女性哈里特·塔布曼将出现在新的20元纸币上，代替安德鲁·杰克逊总统。

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew confirmed Wednesday that Tubman will be the first African-American featured on U.S. currency, and the first woman on paper currency in more than 100 years. He did not indicate when the new bill would be in circulation.

美国财政部长雅各布·卢星期三宣布，塔布曼将成为第一位头像印在在美国货币上的非洲裔美国人，她也是100多年来首位出现在美国纸币上的女性。

Lew originally announced his intention to put a woman on the $10 bill last June, but has since faced pressure from various groups and individuals to rethink the $20.

非洲裔美国女性哈里特·塔布曼因带领数百名奴隶通向自由而受到赞誉。她的头像将替代前总统安德鲁·杰克逊的头像被印在美国新的20元纸币上。

Andrew Jackson, the former president featured on the $20 bill, was responsible for the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which started what was known as the Trail of Tears — a forced migration on which thousands of Native Americans died.
