　　2017考研英语拓展阅读：巴菲特打脸川普 建议其公布纳税记录

　　Mr Buffett said he had paid income tax every year since 1944 following Mr Trump’s assertion that he had taken a "massive deduction" during Sunday’s TV debate with Democrat Hillary Clinton.

　　在上周日的总统电视辩论中，川普声称巴菲特得到了“大量减税”，而随后巴菲特则表示说他从1944年以来，每年都缴纳了个人所得税。

　　In 1995, Mr Trump claimed losses of $916m (736m pound) to reduce his tax burden.

　　1995年，川普声称自己亏损了9.16亿美元(约合7.36亿英镑)，从而减小自己的税务负担。

　　There is no evidence he did anything illegal.

　　没有证据显示川普做了任何违法的事。

　　Mr Trump was asked during the debate by moderator Anderson Cooper if he had taken advantage of the "carryforward" rule, which allows businesspeople to offset a big loss incurred one year against income made in subsequent years for tax purposes.

　　在总统辩论中，主持人安德森·库珀询问川普是否利用了“亏损预报措施”，这一条例使得商人可以用某一年的巨额亏损来抵消随后几年的应纳税额。

　　"Of course I do. Of course I do, and so do all of her donors, or most of her donors," he said, referring to Mrs Clinton’s supporters, before going on to name Mr Bufffett.

　　川普说道：“我当然这样做啦。我的确这样做了，希拉里所有或者至少大部分捐助者们也这样做了。”川普在回应中指出了希拉里的支持者，但是那时还没有说出巴菲特的名字。

　　Mr Buffett said he had never taken advantage of the carryforward rule, in a statement on Monday.

　　在周一的一份声明中，巴菲特表示他从未利用过亏损预报措施这一便利。

　　"I have paid federal income tax every year since 1944, when I was 13. I have copies of all 72 of my returns and none uses a carryforward," he said.

　　他说道：“从1944年以来我每年都缴纳了联邦个人所得税，那时我才13岁。我保存着这72年来所有的纳税凭证，都未使使用过亏损预报措施。”

　　Mr Buffett said his 2015 federal income tax payment had been $1.8m after calculating gross income of $11.5m from which deductions of $5.5m, including $3.5m of charitable donations, were then subtracted. He also said he had given away a further $2.85bn to charity.

　　据巴菲特称，他2015年的全部个人所得为1150万美元，减去包括350万美元慈善捐赠在内的550万资金之后，他一共缴纳了180万美元的联邦个人所得税。巴菲特还表示他将进一步向慈善机构捐赠28.5亿美元的资金。

　　He suggested Mr Trump make his own tax details public, something the Republican candidate has so far refused to do.

　　巴菲特还建议川普公布他自己的详细纳税记录，此前川普曾一直拒绝这一要求。

　　"I have no problem in releasing my tax information while under audit. Neither would Mr Trump - at least he would have no legal problem," Mr Buffett said.

　　巴菲特说道：“我完全可以向审计公布我的纳税信息。而川普则不可能这样做--至少他不会有法律问题。”

　　Mrs Clinton has released her 2015 tax return, showing that she and her husband Bill paid a 34% rate of federal tax and a 9% rate of state tax on a total income of $10.5m.

　　希拉里已经公布了她2015年的纳税信息，数据显示希拉里和其丈夫比尔·克林顿2015年共收入1050万美元，他们为此一共支付了34%的联邦税和9%的州税。
