【正文】 same pledge from President Reagan, after ine tax rates(收入所得稅率 )were cut, in each of the last five years, some federal taxes(聯(lián)邦稅收 )have gone upon Social Security(社會保障 )， cigarettes, liquor, even longdistance telephone calls. Now that’s money straight out of people’s wallets. Isn’t the phrase“no new taxes”misleading the voters? 【女記者康普登女士向布什先生提出了一個選民都很關(guān)注的敏感問題： “雖然你提出不增加稅收，并且收入所得稅等降低了，但社會保障、煙、酒、長途電話費(fèi)等收費(fèi)卻上漲了，那么 “不收新稅的保證 ”不是誤導(dǎo)選民嗎？ ”且看布什如何作答。 I don’t want to do that. And I won’t do ： It’s going to take discipline of... That is what I call...】 I hear this talk about a blank check. The American people are pretty smart. They know who writes out the checks. And they know who appropriates the money. It is the United States Congress and by two to one, Congress is blamed for these deficits. And the answer is to discipline both the executive branch and the congressional branch beholding the line on taxes. So I am pledged to do that. And those pessimists(悲觀主義者sorry. I just have fundamental disagreement with them. 【最后總結(jié)： so I am pledged to do that. I have fundamental disagreement.】 Mr. DUKAKIS: Ann, the Vice President made that pledge。 請記住這句話，當(dāng)接著問及一個問題可用： Let me follow up on that by asking you...】 Mr. DUKAKIS: No, I’m not sure I can promise that. I don’t think either of us can, really. There’s no way of anticipating what may happen. I will say this, that we’ll set up our goal a steady, gradual reduction of the deficit, which will require tough choices on spending. It will require a good strong rate of economic growth. It will require a plan that President works out with the Congressdoesn’t blame them, works it out with themwhich bring that deficit down. It will require us to go out and collect billions and billions of dollars in taxes owed that aren’t being paid in this country. And that’s grossly unfair to the average American who’s paying his taxes, and paying them on time, and doesn’t have any alternativeit’s taken out of his paycheck. Mr. Bush says we’re going to put the IRS(國內(nèi)稅務(wù)局 )on every taxpayer. That’s not what we’re going to do. I’m for the taxpayer bill of Rights. Well, I think it’s unconscionable(不合理的 ) that we should be talking or thinking about imposing new taxes on average Americans, when there are billion out thereover a hundred billion dollars in taxes owed that aren’t being paid. Now, I think if we work together on it, and if you have a president that will work with the Congress and the American people, we can bring that deficit down steadily,＄ 20, 25, 30 billion a year, build economic growth, build a good strong future for America, invest in those things which we must invest in: economic development, good jobs, good schools for our kids, college opportunity for young people, decent health care and affordable housing, and a clean and safe environment. We can do all of those things, and at the same time build a future in which we’re standing on a good strong fiscal foundation. 【對某事不做完全肯定回答，不使自己處于被動并授人把柄，就可說這些句式： I’m not sure I can promise that.
