CNN News:奧巴馬提出4萬(wàn)億預(yù)算支出提案

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.

本周二的CNN學(xué)生新聞以?shī)W巴馬預(yù)算提案和暴風(fēng)雪開(kāi)始。很高興見(jiàn)到大家，這里是CNN新聞中心，我是Carl Azuz 。預(yù)算開(kāi)支提案比一本電話(huà)本還要重。此次由奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在昨天提出的預(yù)算開(kāi)支創(chuàng)下了4萬(wàn)億美元的記錄。我們之所以用“提出”這個(gè)詞是因?yàn)樽罱K提案需要民主黨總統(tǒng)和共和黨控制的國(guó)會(huì)同意之后才可用來(lái)作為明年的開(kāi)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(gè)計(jì)劃只是一個(gè)起點(diǎn)。就像是投標(biāo)過(guò)程。其中奧巴馬總統(tǒng)想要做的事情是提高年收入超過(guò)500000美元的美國(guó)人口稅收，并降低中產(chǎn)階級(jí)美國(guó)人稅收來(lái)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(jí)經(jīng)濟(jì)”。但是一些專(zhuān)家稱(chēng)許多中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的市民并沒(méi)有看到更多好處，共和黨控制的國(guó)會(huì)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(guò)3英尺，但是同樣在芝加哥創(chuàng)下暴雪記錄的暴風(fēng)雪已經(jīng)開(kāi)始向東移動(dòng)，波士頓宣布預(yù)計(jì)降雪量可達(dá)到14英寸。該地學(xué)校已經(jīng)關(guān)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(gè)代表地區(qū)。
