* QE2: the second quantitative easing
quantitative easing
wikipedia 的解釋 ："a monetary policy used by some central banks to increase the supply of money ... generally through buying of the central government's own bonds to stabilize or raise their prices and thereby lower long-term interest rates."

* currency debasement/debasing:
wikipedia 的解釋 ： "Debasement is the practice of lowering the value of currency. "
翻成中文 ： 讓貨幣貶值的措施
是相對什麼東西貶值呢？ 國內的生活用品 食衣住行 -> commodity

若是相對其他國家的貨幣貶值(匯率貶值) 英文用 depreciate
