这个月早些时候，南非一头会画画的猪的一幅画作卖出了2万英镑。请看本报昨日的报道：

South African painting pig, Pigcasso, filled the piggy bank after selling an abstract artwork for a record of £20,000 (US$26,770) earlier this month, with the proceeds going to Farm Sanctuary SA, an animal rescue service in Franschhoek where the pig lives.

报道中的piggy bank就是“存钱罐”，通常是陶瓷小猪的样子。例如：

The stock market proved to be an unreliable piggy bank in 2008, with Kiplinger magazine calling it “the worst bear market since the 1930s.”

在2008年，股市是一只不可靠的“存钱罐”，Kiplinger杂志称之为“自1930年来最糟糕的熊市”。
