    示範例句 · Example

    The government changed its fiscal policy to help the country grow.

    逐字政府改變它的財政政策來幫助國家成長。

    fiscal 專門講「政府的錢」——稅收、支出、預算這些。跟 financial 的差別可以這樣想：financial 是所有跟錢有關的（個人、公司都算），fiscal 特別指「政府層面的財政」。常見搭配有 fiscal policy（財政政策）、fiscal year（會計年度）。

core核心畫面

Picture the government's money — the taxes it takes in and the money it pays out. 'Fiscal' is the word for anything to do with that public purse.

可以想成政府的錢——它收進來的稅，以及花出去的支出。凡是跟這個『公家錢袋』有關的事，就用 fiscal 來形容。

From the word’s history

Fiscal comes from Latin 'fiscus', which first meant a woven basket or money-bag, then the state treasury where Rome literally kept its coins. So 'fiscal' still means 'to do with the public purse'.

fiscal 來自拉丁文 fiscus，本來是指一個編織的籃子、錢袋，後來變成羅馬國庫——當年真的把錢裝在籃子裡收著。所以 fiscal 到今天還是『跟國家錢袋有關』的意思，錢袋這個畫面一路留了下來。
