美国财政部长雅各布•J•卢(Jacob J. Lew)宣布了美国货币的改版方案，这是一个世纪以来规模最大、最具历史象征意义的改动，提议在20美元纸币上用一度为奴的废奴主义者哈丽雅特•塔布曼(Harriet Tubman)取代曾经蓄奴的安德鲁•杰克逊(Andrew Jackson)，此外还将在5美元和10美元纸币上加入女性和民权领袖。

　　来吧，今天的句子：

　　Tubman, an African-American and a Union spy during the Civil War, would bump Jackson — a white man known as much for his persecution of Native Americans as for his war heroics and advocacy for the common man — to the back of the $20, in some reduced image along with the White House. Tubman would be the first woman so honored on paper currency since Martha Washington’s portrait briefly graced the $1 silver certificate in the late 19th century.
