请帮忙翻译此句:The purchasing power of ..,并分析此句子结构
The purchasing power of money must remain fairly constant time for it to function as a standard of deferred payment.

The purchasing power of money 主语 (购买能力) must remain 必须保持 谓语部分
fairly constant time 相对连续的(修饰主语) to function as a standard of deferred payment.为宾语丛句那么for it是什么意思?在句中起到什么作用呢?for it 是指购买力这件事,作用是为了引出从句,
