VOA常速英语:亚利桑那州小企业主期待特朗普救济

Richard and Patricia Jandrew own a printing business near the shores of Lake Havasu, Arizona.They are fans of Donald Trump.“There’s no punches to be pulled, there’s no secrets, he tells it the way it is.”They say the President has much to handle and he is doing in his own way.They understand his bluster and style.“But he’s always been that way, that’s Trump, I mean we’re New Yorkers, we know that’s how he’s always been.”
理查德·詹德鲁和帕特莎·詹德鲁在位于亚利桑那州的哈瓦苏湖畔拥有一个印刷厂。他们是总统唐纳德·特朗普的粉丝。“他为人痛快，有什么说什么，没有秘密，实事求是。”他们认为，总统有很多事要处理，他在按自己的方式行事。他们能理解他的大胆风格。“他一贯如此。这才是特朗普。我是说，作为纽约人，我们知道他一直都这样。”

They look to the president to offer tax relief for their business.“Everybody needs to pay taxes, I get that, but we need a little help.”She says she would love to be able to give benefits to employees.“That we could afford, I mean, without that more; we are not seeing, and right now, we just can’t do that.”
他们指望总统为他们的企业提供税收减免。“每个人都需要纳税。这我明白，但我们需要一点帮助。”她表示很乐意为员工提供福利。“过去我们能负担，我想说，那时还没有那么多，起码我们认为是这样。但是现在，我们负担不起了。”

Committed Republicans the Jandrews say that Democrats have pursued a losing strategy.“You can’t keep taxing the rich because eventually, they ain’t gonna want to pay.Logic is: what are they doing again? Oh yeah, moving away, they’ve all moved out.”
詹德鲁夫妇是忠诚的共和党人，他们认为民主党实行的策略是失败的。“你不能一直对富人征税，因为最终他们不会想要再纳税。那么他们又会怎么做呢？哦，是啊，离开。他们都搬走了。”

Offshore competition worries their son, Tristan, a business student.He is a moderate who was impressed with Democrat Bernie Sanders, but so far is not impressed with Donald Trump.
海外竞争使他们的儿子特里斯坦感到担忧，他是一名商科学生。作为政治温和派，他曾对民主党人伯尼·桑德斯印象深刻，而现在对唐纳德·特朗普并没有太深的印象。

The main issue for him?“Definitely jobs coming back, but jobs not, you know, in old industries that we’re not really, you know, expanding in any more.I know China is doing a lot of big things with solar energy, Trump has said he wants to compete with China.”He says what he has seen so far is a smokescreen.
他最关注什么问题呢？“当然是让美国人重新获得工作，但不是那些落后产业里的工作，你也知道，在那些行业，我们无法再扩张规模。在太阳能领域，中国做出了很多新动作。特朗普此前说过，想同中国竞争。”他认为他目前看到的不过是烟幕弹。

“We’re gonna see if the checks and balances of our system work and if he’s going to actually do something that, you know, is going to be viable in the long term.”
“我们还是要看我国的权力制衡制度是否起作用，以及他是否真能采取一些切实可行的长期举措。”

Divided on Trump, this family agrees they want the economy to work for all Americans.
虽然在支持特朗普的问题上存在分歧，但这一家人都希望经济发展能为所有美国人谋福利。
