每日一翻:Less Well-Off Donate Bigger Income Percentage

America’s slowly crawling out of the great recession. On average, we’re earning more. Researchers wondered how the increased income affected charitable giving. So they dove into IRS data from 2006 to 2012. They broke the data down by state, county, metropolitan area, and zip code. The results—180 billion philanthropic dollars in 2012—covered about 80 percent of individual donations to charity.

美国正在缓慢的走出经济大萧条。平均而言,我们收入越来越高。研究者们想了解收入的增加会如何影响慈善捐赠,所以他们一头扎进美国国税局2006年到2012年的数据海洋,把数据根据州,县,城市区和邮编分类。结果显示,在2012年收到了1800亿美元的捐助,其中80%来自个人捐助。
The investigators found that even though wealthier Americans, defined as those making more than $200,000 a year, were making more in 2012 than they did in 2006, they actually decreased their donations by an average of almost five percent.较富有的美国人被定义为年收入在20多万美元的人,调查者们发现尽管这些人在2012年收入比2006年高,但是实际上他们的捐赠平均减少了近五个百分点。
Middle- and lower-income Americans, defined as people making less than $100,000 a year, increased their charitable giving by almost the same nearly five percent. This increase came despite the fact that that group was earning less, on average, than they had in 2006. The findings are in the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
中低薪阶层被定义为年收入不到10万美元的人,他们的慈善捐赠却几乎增加了同样的五个百分点。实际上这个群体的收入平均比2006年减少了,但是捐赠却增加了。研究结果来自《慈善纪事报》。
Even though the wealthiest Americans have decreased their donations by percentage, they still gave more than four a half billion dollars more in 2012 than they did in 2006. That’s because the wealthiest Americans captured nearly all of the recession recovery. They’re doing more than a trillion dollars better than they did six years earlier, in a rare case of a rising tide lifting only some boats.
尽管最富有的美国人减少了他们捐赠的百分比,但是他们在2012年的捐赠超过了45亿美元,比2006年多。(还是他们在2012年的捐赠仍然比2006年多了45亿美元之多。)这是因为他们抓住了经济复苏带来的所有契机,他们的收入超过了一万亿美元,比六年前要好很多。在罕见的经济复苏大潮下,只有个别人的财富获得了极大提升。(这里是一种比喻?涨潮代表经济复苏,而提升的船只代表这些少部分的富有的人?看不懂啊~……)
