周三，美國(guó)七家太陽能產(chǎn)品制造商請(qǐng)求奧巴馬政府對(duì)中國(guó)太陽能進(jìn)口產(chǎn)品征收超過100%的關(guān)稅，理由是這些產(chǎn)品

存在不正當(dāng)削價(jià)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)行為，并且破壞美國(guó)的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。

請(qǐng)看相關(guān)英文報(bào)道：

On Wednesday， seven US solar manufacturers asked the Obama administration to impose duties of more

than 100 percent on Chinese imports， which they said were unfairly undercutting prices and

destroying jobs in the US.

【解析】

報(bào)道中的“impose duties”即 “征收關(guān)稅”的意思。這里的“關(guān)稅”是我們常用的“duty”，大家很意外吧！除此

之外，一般還可以用“tariff”，“custom”，“impost”等詞來表達(dá)“關(guān)稅”的意思。

例句：

In general， tariffs can be divided an import tariff and an export tariff.

一般來說，關(guān)稅可分為進(jìn)口關(guān)稅和出口關(guān)稅。

I pay $20 in custom on the $100 Swiss watch.

我為一百美元的瑞士表付了二十美元的關(guān)稅。

Although tea’s unpopularity was usually attributed to its high price， its popularity remained low

even after temperance advocates succeeded in getting the impost halved.

盡管人們很少喝茶是因?yàn)閮r(jià)格貴，可即使是適當(dāng)禁酒主義者通過活動(dòng)把茶葉關(guān)稅降低了一半后，喝茶的人還是不

多。
