大学英语：重要词汇monetize v. 把…定为货币，使…为合法货币，挣钱

Didn't last week the Defense Department said that China is ahead of us in developing a vaccine?

This reaction means one thing. The US is trying to monetize a cure. While many countries have explicitly confirmed they would share a cure with the world,we are still worried about bilking billions out of others in a major crisis situation.It so Sad that we call ourselves the greatest country still.This reminds me of a few people who tried to take advantage of the crisis with hand sanitizer and were nearly prosecuted before striking a deal,but of course this is ok.

难道你真的信我们是世界上唯 一有能力来发新冠疫苗的国家?

上周国防部不是说中国在疫苗开发方面走在我们前面吗?

这种反应意味着，我们在开发治疗手段上挣钱，而许多国家明确表示他们会与世界分享他们的治疗经验，但我们在这场大的危机下挖空心思想从别人那里挣几十个亿，我们还自称为世界上最伟大的国家真的是悲哀，这让我想起一小撮人想通过洗手液自肥，差点受到指控，当然现在自然没事了。
