【2010.11.06】每周电视讲话：优先解决税收问题（MP3+MP4） Weekly Address: President Obama Calls for Compromise and Explains his Priorities on TaxesO font o WASHINGTON – As Congress prepares to focus on taxes when it returns to work later this month, President Obama called on both parties to work together and focus on the areas where all sides agree. First, the President underscored that middle-class families need permanent tax relief, so Congress should permanently extend tax cuts for all families making less than $250,000 a year – 98 percent of the American people. And second, he noted that, with the nation’s challenging fiscal situation, the country simply cannot afford to borrow another $700 billion on permanent tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.O font o 华盛顿:国会上月末重新运行后开始关注税收问题,奥巴马总统呼吁两党齐心协力关注双方共同关注的领域。第一，总统强调了中产家庭需要的长期的税收减免，因此国会应该对年收入25万美元以下的家庭——98%的美国人，永久性地延长减税政策。第二，他强调，面对财政困境，国家完全不能承受追加借贷7000亿为富翁们提供永久性减税的政策。O o span This week, Americans across the country cast their votes and made their voices heard. And your message was clear.O font o 本周，全国上下的人们参加了投票，表达了自己的心声。你们传递出的信息是明确的。O o span You’re rightly frustrated with the pace of our economic recovery. So am I.O font o 你们对经济复苏的步伐完全丧失了信心。我也是。O o span You’re fed up with partisan politics and want results. I do too.O font o 你们厌倦了党派之争，希望得到答案。我也是。O o span So I congratulate all of this week’s winners – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. But now, the campaign season is over. And it’s time to focus on our shared responsibilities to work together and deliver those results: speeding up our economic recovery, creating jobs, and strengthening the middle class so that the American Dream feels like it’s back within reach.O font o 因此，我祝贺本周的胜利者——共和党人，民主党人以及独立党派人士。但现在，竞选时间已过。是我们团结一致共同关注我们共同的责任的时候了，我们要为以下问题给出答案：加速经济复苏，创造就业，以及巩固中产阶级的地位，只有这样我们才有机会重新追寻我们的“美国梦”。O o span That’s why I’ve asked to sit down soon with leaders of both parties so that we can have an extended discussion about what we can do together to move this country
