巨无霸指数报告：瑞士法郎是全世界最昂贵的货币

The Big Mac index was created by The Economist magazine in 1986 as a way of comparing the relative values of different currencies.

《经济学人》于1986年提出了巨无霸指数，用于比较各种货币的相对价值。

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.

专家们通过比较世界通用、质量几乎完全一样的商品在各国的售价，来衡量各个国家货币的购买力。

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.

在巨无霸指数表中，挪威的巨无霸价格是4.64英镑 Britain comes 16th on the list, with Big Macs costing £3.09 ($3.73) - less than they do in Singapore and Costa Rica.

英国排名第16，英国巨无霸价格是3.09英镑 The scaling suggests that the pound is currently undervalued by 26.3 percent against the dollar, as the sterling's strength continues to dwindle.

该对比表明，随着英镑的持续走弱，目前英镑兑美元被低估了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).
