福克斯新闻 众议院议长对税制改革持乐观态度

Not only is House Speaker Paul Ryan promising¹ an overhaul² of the tax code, he's promising to get it done this calendar year:

众议院议长保罗·瑞安(Paul Ryan)不仅承诺改革税收制度，还承诺在今年完成。

(Ryan) "Now I know the cynics and naysayers they're going to be out in full force. You will hear that tax reform is coming along one day. Then you'll hear that tax reform is dead."

“现在我知道愤世嫉俗者和反对者都会全力以赴。你们会听到他们说，税收改革一天之内就可以完成。然后你会听他们说，税收改革失败了。”

The pitch contains ideas long-sought by Republicans, like lower corporate³ tax rates and consolidating⁴ individual tax rates from seven to three.

这次改革包括共和党人一直努力推行的想法，比如把企业税和统一个人税率从7%降低到3%。

Still, there could be some Republican resistance to a border tax proposal and Democrats⁵ are previewing opposition⁶ to tax cuts benefiting wealthy Americans.

然而，一些共和党人会阻碍边境税提案，民主党人正在上演反对让富人受益的税收减免政策的戏码。
