科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:

The later part of the 20th century saw its share of strange financial bubbles (泡沫).There was the real-estate bubble,the stock market bubble, and the .com bubble,just to name a few. In each instance people paid huge amounts for things that shouldn, t have been worth anything like the going price. And each time people stood around afterwards and said "What were we thinking?"

Actually the same thought occurred to the Dutch in the 17th century. As much as the tulip(郁金香)is associated with Holland,it is not native there. Actually it was introduced in 1593 by a botanist named Carolus Clusius,who brought it from Turkey. He planted a small garden,intending to research the plant for medicinal purposes. Had Clusius' s neighbors been morally upright,the tulip might still be a rare foreign plant in the gardening world. Instead they broke into his garden and stole some of his tulips in order to make some quick money,and in the process started the Dutch tulip trade.

Over the next several decades tulips became a craze among the rich of Holland,and prices began to rise. Soon even ordinary bulbs were selling for extraordinary prices, and the actually rare bulbs were extremely large. Here is an example of how many useful items it cost to buy one single tulip bulb: four tons of wheat, eight tons of rye, one bed, four oxen, eight pigs, twelve sheep, one suit of clothes, two casks of wine,four tons of beer,two tons of butter, 1 ,000 pounds of cheese and one silver drinking cup.

The height of the bubble was reached in the winter of 1636―1637. Tulip traders were making fortunes regularly. A good trader could earn up to 60 ,000 florins in a month ―approximately $61 ,710 in current U.S. dollars. With profits like those to be had,nothing local governments could do stopped the passion of trading. Then one day in Haarlem a buyer failed to show up and pay for his bulb purchase. The coming panic spread across Holland,and within days tulip bulbs were worth only a hundredth of their former prices. The tulip bubble had burst.

Looking back through time it's easy to laugh at the foolish Dutch, paying such prices for simple tulip bulbs, but an economic bubble was nothing new even then. We're still doing the same sorts of things today.
