2020年10美元纸币将首次出现女性头像

The US Treasury Department says a redesigned $10 note will feature a woman, but who she will be has not been decided.

美国财务部称，重新设计的10美元纸币上将出现女性形象，但尚未决定具体使用哪位女性。

The new note will debut in 2020 to mark the 100th anniversary of the US Constitution's 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

新纸币将于2010年发行，以纪念美国宪法第十九修正案出台100周年。该修正案赋予妇女投票权。

The treasury will seek the public's input in the selection, looking for a "champion for ourinclusive democracy".

财政部在选择上将听取大众的意见，想要选出一名“捍卫我们广泛民主的人。

Former US political leaders - all white men - currently headline US notes.

目前美国纸币的头像是过去的本国政治领袖们，他们全部都是男性。

The woman who the Treasury Department ultimately selects will replace Alexander Hamilton, a key figure in the American Revolution and the first secretary of the US Treasury.

财政部最终选出的女性将代替亚历山大·汉密尔顿。他是独立运动的关键人物，也是首任财政部部长。

Hamilton began appearing on the $10 note in 1929. He along with diplomat and inventor Ben Franklin are the only non-presidents featured on current US notes.
