双语趣听精彩世界 第38期:机场征收"呼吸税"是否合理(在线收听) |
委内瑞拉最大的国际机场开始征收20美元的"清洁空气呼吸税".据悉,机场内新安装了利用臭氧净化空气的空调系统,征收"呼吸税"是为了支付相应的成本.有人在社交媒体上吐槽,称该税收最后恐怕会沦为腐败的新源头,但也有人将其解读为机场严重缺乏资金. 机场呼吸也要纳税?
The Telegraph: the biggest international airport in Venezuela is charging a 20 dollars tax for the right to inhale clean air.
This is to cover the cost of a newly-installed air conditioning system which uses ozone to purify the building's air.
The move caused outrage among Venezuelans already burdented with an annual inflation rate of close to 60%, a high crime rate and a general shortage of basic goods and services.
Some Venezuelans on social media fear the tax could end up being a new source of corruption. Others see it as evidence of how short of cash the airport is. |
