Most people believed Van Buren was responsible for their troubles because he continued the hard money policies of former president Andrew Jackson.

大多数人认为范布伦应对他们的麻烦负责， 因为他延续了前总统安德鲁杰克逊的硬通货政策。

He watched until they drove away, the gross parents, the bland, degenerate offspring: it was easy to prophesy the family's swing around Europe, bullying their betters with hard ignorance and hard money.

他看着他们开车离开，粗鲁的父母，温和、堕落的后代：很容易预言这个家庭将在欧洲摇摆不定，用无知和硬钱欺负他们的强者。
