Русский перевод:

Хранилища Банка Англии были построены в 1930-х годах, 1) поскольку до этого у банка не было надежного места для золота. Во время Второй мировой войны золото Британии находилось в Канаде, 2) хотя хранилища были достаточно хорошо защищены от воздушных снарядов. 3) Причина была в том, что опасность немецкого вторжения росла. 4) Следовательно, золотые слитки были тайно отправлены за границу. 5) Вместо хранения золота одно хранилище использовалось как столовая. 6) Впоследствии оно было превращено в бомбоубежище. Сегодня золото, 7) которое является лучшим барометром для экономики, снова на месте. 8) На самом деле, хранилища находятся под строгой охраной. 9) На самом деле, ничто не охраняется так, как золото. Метровые двери отпираются трехфутовыми ключами, 10) чтобы не пустить воров, если высокотехнологичная система выйдет из строя. 11) Однако, таких мер недостаточно. Вы должны произнести пароль компьютеру, 12) который распознает ваш голос. 13) Даже при этом, таких мер недостаточно, и есть еще секреты, неизвестные посторонним. 14) Хотя популярны электронные деньги и банкноты, золото по-прежнему очень важно. 15) Как бы сильно мы ни любили инновации в банковском деле, банки по-прежнему хранят золото на черный день.
