什么是關(guān)稅？為什么要征收關(guān)稅
 
來(lái)聽今天的講解:
 
A:Professor wang can I ask a few questions?
 
王教授，可以請(qǐng)教您幾個(gè)問(wèn)題嗎？
 
B:Certainly.
 
當(dāng)然可以。
 
A:What is the tariff?
 
什么是關(guān)稅？
 
B:It's a tax levy by the goveroverment on goods imported into that country.
 
關(guān)稅是由政府對(duì)進(jìn)口商品征收的一種稅收。
 
A:Why does the goverment levy the tariff？
 
為什么要征收關(guān)稅呢?
 
B:Tariff provides the goverment with extra tax revenue.
 
關(guān)稅給政府提供了額外的收入。
 
A:Anything else.
 
還有呢?
 
B:Tariff raises the price at which the goods are sold in the importing country and therefore makes them less competitive with locally produced goods.
 
關(guān)稅提高了進(jìn)口商品在國(guó)內(nèi)銷售的價(jià)格，因此使得它們沒有當(dāng)?shù)厣a(chǎn)的商品具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。
 
A:Oh,I know. Thank you. Professor wang.
 
哦，我知道了。謝謝您，王教授。
 
B:Do not mention it.
 
不用客氣。
