外貿(mào)口語一點通第81期:自由貿(mào)易之關(guān)稅壁壘

[00:00:37] Professor Wang, can I ask a few questions? [00:03:49] Certainly. [00:04:31] What is the tariff? [00:06:52] It is a tax levied by the government on goods imported into that country. [00:13:49] Why does the government levy the tariff? [00:17:28] Tarrif provides the government with extra tax revenue. [00:20:21] Anything else? [00:23:48] Tariff raises the price at which the goods are sold in the importing country and therefore makes them less competitive with locally produced goods. [00:34:03] Oh, I know. [00:35:16] Thank you, Professor Wang. [00:37:15] Do not mention it.

還有呢?

B: Tariff raises the price at which the goods are sold in the importing country and thereforemakes them less competitive with locally produced goods.

關(guān)稅提高了進口商品在國內(nèi)銷售的價格，因此使得它們沒有當(dāng)?shù)厣a(chǎn)的商品具有競爭力。

A: Oh, I know. Thank you, Professor Wang.

哦，我知道了。謝謝您，王教授。

不用客氣。
