A Man, they take a lot of our paycheck.
嘿,他們從我們薪水里扣了不少錢(qián)。
B Yeah, the government really takes a bit, doesn't it?
是的,政府確實(shí)扣了一點(diǎn),是嗎?
A Seriously. The only tax I don't mind them taking is social security. It's only a few dollars every paycheck.
認(rèn)真點(diǎn)。只有社會(huì)保險(xiǎn)這種稅我不介意交。每回只要從薪水里面扣除幾元錢(qián)就行了。
B Yeah, I don't mind it either. We’ll both end up rich slobs and not need it, but what if we do, you know?
是呀,我也不介意。我們最終肯定不會(huì)缺錢(qián)也不會(huì)需要它,但是如果我們有這個(gè)錢(qián)的話(huà),你知道?
A Yeah. It won't be much, but at least we’ll have a monthly check when we get old.
是呀,雖然不多,但是起碼老了以后每個(gè)月有一個(gè)固定收入。
B Yeah, my grandmother gets by on social security and the money my grandfather invested when he was alive.
是呀,我祖母就是靠社會(huì)保險(xiǎn)金和祖父在世時(shí)的投資生活。
A Let's just hope the politicians don't figure out a way to spend it.
讓我們巴望政治家們不會(huì)想著法子把它用掉吧。
B Really? No, they couldn't. None of them would have jobs if they did.
真的嗎?不,不會(huì)的。如果他們這樣做了,他們的工作就不保了。
