本周二的CNN學生新聞以奧巴馬預算提案和暴風雪開始。很高興見到大家,這里是CNN新聞中心,我是Carl Azuz 。預算開支提案比一本電話本還要重。此次由奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在昨天提出的預算開支創(chuàng)下了4萬億美元的記錄。我們之所以用“提出”這個詞是因為最終提案需要民主黨總統(tǒng)和共和黨控制的國會同意之后才可用來作為明年的開支。
This plan is a starting point. It`s like an opening bid in the process. One thing President Obama wants to do, is raise taxes on Americans making more than $500,000 a year and give tax cuts to help many Americans in the middle class to help them get ahead.
這個計劃只是一個起點。就像是投標過程。其中奧巴馬總統(tǒng)想要做的事情是提高年收入超過500000美元的美國人口稅收,并降低中產(chǎn)階級美國人稅收來幫助其改善生活。
It`s what the president calls "middle class economics", but some experts say, many people in the middle class wouldn`t see any benefits, and Republicans who control Congress have very different ideas on how to manage the government`s money.
這就是總統(tǒng)所謂的“中產(chǎn)階級經(jīng)濟”。但是一些專家稱許多中產(chǎn)階級的市民并沒有看到更多好處,共和黨控制的國會就如何處理政府資金有截然相反的看法。
Boston, Massachusetts, averages more than three feet of snow per year, but the same storm that set a snowfall record in Chicago has moved east, and Boston has declared a snow emergency with as many as 14 inches expected. Thousands of flights have been canceled, and schools were closed in cities that are used to winter weather.
波士頓,馬薩諸塞州今年降雪量比每年降雪記錄平均超過3英尺,但是同樣在芝加哥創(chuàng)下暴雪記錄的暴風雪已經(jīng)開始向東移動,波士頓宣布預計降雪量可達到14英寸。該地學校已經(jīng)關閉。
Omaha, Detroit and Cleveland, just to name a few.
奧哈馬,底特律和克利夫蘭只是其中的幾個代表地區(qū)。
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: A presidential budget proposal and the brutal winter storm lead off this Tuesday edition of CNN STUDENT NEWS. It`s good to see you. I`m Carl Azuz at the CNN Center. It`s sicker than a phone book. It deals with the record $4 trillion. It was proposed by President Obama yesterday. We say "proposed" because the Democratic president and the Republican controlled Congress will ultimately have to agree on the government`s budget for the coming year.
