赤字

Their list of grouses includes ever-increasing regulation, stricter corporate-governance standards and the threat of higher taxes in response to the ballooning deficit.

他们的牢骚清单还包括不断增加的监管，更加严格的公司监管标准以及高涨的赤字引发的更高关税的威胁。

In other words, everything costs something and everything has to be paid for by someone; statements otherwise are ploys for gulling credulous people.

布什不是去处理赤字问题，反而在吹捧自己为老年人(也就是喜欢玩推圆盘游戏的乘客)实行的&处方药免费&的政策；免费的午餐暗指美国一句俗语&世上没有免费的午餐&，换句话说，什么东西都有价值，要想得到什么都需要付出，而与此不同的说法则是欺骗那些轻信的人们的花招，可免费的午餐在这艘美国号船上则是常规；这位总统也是一个对美国宇航局在月球建立载人基地以及推进火星开发计划的拥护者---航天飞机可不是便宜的；向&所有不需要钱的人&给予&现金奖励&指的是布什的一大堆减税政策。

Rather than dealing with the deficits, Bush touts his policy of "free prescription drugs" for the elderly -- the passengers among whom the game of shuffleboard is popular."Free lunch" alludes to the American saying "There's no such a thing as a free lunch." In other words, everything costs something and everything has to be paid for by someone; statements otherwise are ploys for gulling credulous people. But free lunch is the order of the day on the USS Union②. The president is likewise a fan of NASA's project to establish a manned base on the moon and push on to the exploration of Mars;that "spaceship" will not be cheap. And the "cash awards" for "all who don't need them" could refer to a host of Bush tax cuts.

It does not help that the two countries calling loudest for discipline are France and Germany, which were responsible for gutting the euro area's stability-pact rules on budget deficits a few years ago when they were threatened by them.

现在法国和德国是两个关于&纪律规范&呼声最高的国家，但缺乏说服力。因为，数年前，就是这两个国家，因为欧元区关于预算赤字的规定威胁到两国利益，两国因此打破规定。

I think the idea that President Bush will be successful in halving the deficit over the next five years is extraordinarily unrealistic.

我觉得那些认为布什总统可以在未来五年内成功减少一半赤字的观点是完全不现实的。

In Britain the Government is committed both to avoiding premature withdrawal of government support, and to halving the deficit in four years.

在英国，政府承诺不会在条件成熟前提前取消政府支持，并在4年时间内将赤字减半。

But that alone will not get him to his goal of halving the budget deficit in four years, nor will the other cost cutting he discussed Tuesday night.

但仅仅如此还不能达到他所期望的四年内财政赤字减半的目标---即使加上周二晚他所讨论的其他成本削减措施。

As the US trade deficit grows, debate is hotting up on whether the main Asian currencies should be made to appreciate or to adopt more flexible exchange rates.

随着美国贸易赤字的增长，围绕是否应该让亚洲主要货币升值，或者应当采取更灵活的汇率制度的辩论也越来越激烈。

Governments will spend the next year and beyond balancing the urgent need to fix public-sector debt and deficits -- without imperiling what appears to be a feeble economic recovery.

未来一年甚至更长的时间内，各国政府都需要进行平衡──既要解决公共领域债务和赤字这一紧迫需要，又要避免威胁到看来脆弱的经济复苏。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
