- 1惡性通貨膨脹（常說「惡性通膨」）
When prices in a country climb so fast that money loses its worth almost while you hold it. This is not the ordinary year-by-year rise that people complain about at the market. In true hyperinflation, a of bread that cost one coin in the morning might cost many times that by night. People rush to spend their pay the same day they get it, or they try to use another country's money, because their own notes are turning into paper. Savings, , and ordinary plans all break, and the whole economy is badly hurt. Though actually, in conversation people sometimes say hyperinflation when they only mean prices feel high this year. That is loose talk. Economists keep the word for the extreme case, when prices race up month after month and the money system itself starts to fail.
組成hyper- (over, too much) + inflation (prices going up). So: inflation that has gone far too far.
