美国联邦政府债务规模突破35万亿美元大关

2024-08-06来源:和谐英语

据福克斯商业频道29日报道,美国财政部网站当日发布的最新数据显示,美国联邦政府债务规模已突破35万亿美元大关。

The U.S. national debt surpassed $35 trillion for the first time in the nation's history on Monday as the federal government continues to accumulate debt at a record-setting pace.
7月29日,随着美国联邦政府继续以创纪录的速度积累债务,美国国债历史上首次超过35万亿美元。

The milestone comes just months after the U.S. eclipsed the $34 trillion threshold in early January 2024, while the $33 trillion mark was reached in September 2023. By comparison, the national debt hovered around $907 billion just four decades ago.
就在几个月前,美国联邦政府债务规模在今年初达到34万亿美元,在2023年9月突破33万亿美元。相比之下,40年前,美国债务徘徊在9070亿美元左右。

"Just last month the Congressional Budget Office warned Americans that debt held by the public is on its way to a new record share of the economy in three years. The deficit will be nearly $2 trillion this year and nearly $3 trillion in ten years,"美国独立研究机构联邦预算问责委员会主席马娅·麦吉尼亚斯在一份声明中说,就在上个月,美国国会预算办公室警告,美国联邦政府债务规模将在三年内创下新的经济份额纪录。今年的赤字将接近2万亿美元,十年后将接近3万亿美元。

Instead,麦吉尼亚斯称,“然而,所有风险和警告信号似乎被无视。相反,我们听到了很多关于支出和减税的言论,这些言论会使情况变得更糟,而不是更好。我们必须认真对待债务问题,立即采取行动。选举年也不能例外,要努力防止完全可预见的危险——债务是我们面临的主要危险之一。”

The U.S. topping $35 trillion in total debt comes as the debt held by the public is projected to reach 99% of the size of the U.S. gross domestic product this year.
与此同时,美国债务预计今年将达到国内生产总值(GDP)的99%。

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has projected the debt held by the public will reach a record level of more than 106% of GDP in 2027.
独立机构国会预算办公室预测,2027年美国债务将刷新纪录,达到GDP的106%以上。

This year the federal government is projected to run a $1.9 trillion budget deficit, according to the latest estimate by the CBO.
根据国会预算办公室的最新估计,今年联邦政府将出现1.9万亿美元的预算赤字。

That would be $200 billion larger than last year's deficit, while the CBO's latest estimate for the current year is about $408 billion larger than an estimate published in February.
这将比去年的赤字高出2000亿美元,而国会预算办公室对今年的最新预测比2月份公布的数据高出约4080亿美元。
