托福117、雅思8.5带你精听美国金融新闻 33

• What specifically has rich people on the move?

1）What specifically中ts连读，易误听为What's

2）has表示导致某人处于某种状态

on the move表示处于移动状态或离开状态

提炼：have sb./sth. adj./pp

译：具体是什么让有些人走了呢？

• Well, they're leaving for retirement, Shep. They're leaving for better weather and they're leaving for taxes. Now there's a really important tax change in 2017 that limited the state and local tax deductions.That's known as SALT.

1）deduction: 扣除数，在文中deductions表示了扣除量的意思，没有s时表示扣除这个动作。

2）缩略词（acronym）SALT=the state and local tax，洲与地方税。【federal tax，联邦税】

译：他们离开是为了更好的退休养老，为了更好的天气，更重要的是为了税收的问题。现在我们都知道在2017年有一个非常重要的税收政策的改变，这个改变他限制住了洲税与当地税的扣除额，也就是我们所知道的SALT。

• The cap effectively raised taxes for high earners in high-tax states. This report from Goldman Sachs that you mentioned said that the SALT cap raised tax rates by 4% [pp] for those tax payers in New York and California.

1）cap：某个预算的限额

2）effectively：实际上。一个做法表面上看目的并非如此，但实际上他却能达成这样的目的。

3）raise：提高。

4）high earner：高收入人群。wage earner 有收入人群，high-tax states 高税收洲。

5）Goldman Sachs：高盛集团

6）tax rates：税率

7）percent(%)≠percentage point(pp)

译：虽然国家没有明确要上调纳税人的缴纳比例，但是这样的一个税收扣除数的限制实际上就是调高了纳税人要缴纳的数量，尤其是对于那些对税收本来就比较高的洲里面的高收入人群，而你提到过的高盛集团的报告里面也说到SALT的限制对于那些纽约以及加州的纳税人来说是将税率提高了4个百分点的。

• And it widened the gap even more compared to states with no income taxes.

1）widen the gap：拉大了……之间的差距，一般后接between ... and ...

2）compared to/with：与……相比

【F】compareing to

3）income taxes：所得税

译：这样的一个限制使得与本来就没有所得税的洲比起来差距就更大了。
