CNN News: 特朗普挑起贸易战 美国各界人士担忧

Today`s down the middle coverage starts with a look new tariffs which are like taxes that the U.S. is placing on certain imports. We`ve talked about the Trump administration`s previous tariffs on steel, aluminum, solar panels and washing machines. The new ones that U.S. President Donald Trump is putting in place are on about $50 billion worth of imported goods from China.

今天的新闻报道从一种新的税收开始，这种税收是在特定的商品上征税。我们已经讨论过特朗普政府之前对钢铁、铝、太阳能电池板和洗衣机的关税。美国总统唐纳德•特朗普正在实施的新举措，涉及价值约500亿美元的中国进口商品。

It`s a sort of punishment on China for what the U.S. says are unfair trade practices that never should have been allowed by previous American leaders.

是对中国的一种惩罚，因为美国说这些“不公平”的贸易行为从来都不应该得到美国前领导人的允许。

President Trump says he thinks of China as a friend, but that the trade deficit that the U.S. has with China, the fact that America imports far more goods from China than it exports to China is unacceptable.

特朗普总统表示，他认为中国是朋友，但美国与中国的贸易逆差是不可接受的，因为美国从中国进口的商品远多于对美国对中国的出口的产品。

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It is the largest deficit of any country in the history of our world. It`s out of control.

唐纳德·特朗普：这是世界历史上最大的赤字。这是失控。

AZUZ: Some economists are afraid this could start a trade war, when countries increase restrictions on another`s products and prices rise. And the U.S. stock market dropped yesterday significantly, partially because some investors were concerned that would happen. The Trump administration says the new tariffs would only have a small effect on Americans but an expert on international trade says Americans will end up having to pay more for every day items, and a Chinese government official says a trade war does no good to anyone, that there is no winner.

阿祖兹：一些经济学家担心这可能引发一场贸易战，因为国家对其他国家的产品增加限制，价格上涨。美国股市昨日大幅下跌，部分原因是一些投资者担心这种情况会发生。特朗普政府表示,新关税只会对美国人产生卫校的影响，但国际贸易专家表示,美国人最终将不得不增加日常用品的支付。中国政府官员表示贸易战对任何人都没有好处,没有赢家。

The tariffs won`t take effect immediately. It will probably be more than a month before they`re in place.

这些关税不会立即生效。可能要过一个多月才会实施。
