CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: A presidential budget proposal and the brutal winter storm lead off this Tuesday edition of CNN STUDENT NEWS. It`s good to see you. I`m Carl Azuz at the CNN Center. It`s sicker than a phone book. It deals with the record $4 trillion. It was proposed by President Obama yesterday. We say "proposed" because the Democratic president and the Republican controlled Congress will ultimately have to agree on the government`s budget for the coming year.
本周二的CNN学生新闻以奥巴马预算提案和暴风雪开始。很高兴见到大家，这里是CNN新闻中心，我是Carl Azuz 。预算开支提案比一本电话本还要重。此次由奥巴马总统在昨天提出的预算开支创下了4万亿美元的记录。我们之所以用“提出”这个词是因为最终提案需要民主党总统和共和党控制的国会同意之后才可用来作为明年的开支。
This plan is a starting point. It`s like an opening bid in the process. One thing President Obama wants to do, is raise taxes on Americans making more than $500,000 a year and give tax cuts to help many Americans in the middle class to help them get ahead.
这个计划只是一个起点。就像是投标过程。其中奥巴马总统想要做的事情是提高年收入超过500000美元的美国人口税收，并降低中产阶级美国人税收来帮助其改善生活。
It`s what the president calls "middle class economics", but some experts say, many people in the middle class wouldn`t see any benefits, and Republicans who control Congress have very different ideas on how to manage the government`s money.
这就是总统所谓的“中产阶级经济”。但是一些专家称许多中产阶级的市民并没有看到更多好处，共和党控制的国会就如何处理政府资金有截然相反的看法。
Boston, Massachusetts, averages more than three feet of snow per year, but the same storm that set a snowfall record in Chicago has moved east, and Boston has declared a snow emergency with as many as 14 inches expected. Thousands of flights have been canceled, and schools were closed in cities that are used to winter weather.
波士顿，马萨诸塞州今年降雪量比每年降雪记录平均超过3英尺，但是同样在芝加哥创下暴雪记录的暴风雪已经开始向东移动，波士顿宣布预计降雪量可达到14英寸。该地学校已经关闭。
Omaha, Detroit and Cleveland, just to name a few.
奥哈马，底特律和克利夫兰只是其中的几个代表地区。
