56.When is the last day you can send in federal income tax forms?
56.寄送联邦所得税表的截止日期是哪一天?
Answer: April 15
答案:四月十五号
Explanation: There is a very well-known saying in English: "The only sure things (or things that will definitely happen) in life are death and taxes." Just like there is no way to avoid death (or to not die), there is no way to avoid paying taxes, which is money that we pay to the government so that the government can provide education, security, and other services to its people.
解释:英语中有一句众所周知的名言:生命中只有死亡和税务是确定无疑的(或肯定会发生的事)。就像无法避免死亡(或不死)一样,也无法避免纳税,也就是我们上交给政府的钱财,这样政府就可以向人民提供教育、安全和其他服务。
In the United States, everyone who makes money must pay federal (or national) income taxes, which is money we pay to the government based on how much money we have made.
在美国,每个赚钱的人都必须缴纳联邦(或国家)所得税,也就是基于我们收入的多少,向政府缴纳的钱财。
In the United States, taxpayers must file (or send in) their own federal income tax forms, which are pieces of paper that request information and have spaces for us to write down that information.
在美国,纳税人必须提交(或发送)他们自己的联邦所得税表,也就是要求填写信息的纸张,上面留有相应空白。
The tax forms request personal information like your name and address, as well as information about how much money you made in the past year. The forms always must be postmarked (or stamped by the post office) by April 15th.
该税表要求提供个人信息,例如你的姓名和地址以及去年收入的信息。该表必须在四月十五日之前盖上邮戳(或由邮局盖章)。
If the federal income tax forms are postmarked on a later date, the taxpayer will have to pay a fine, which is money that we must pay because we did something wrong.
如果联邦所得税表是在四月十五日之后盖上邮戳的,那么纳税人就得交罚款,也就是因为我们犯了错,所以我们必须要交钱。
