(单词翻译)

In his rallies and pretty much all other occasions, President Trump1 loves to talk about the growing economy.

Since my election, Americas gained 7 million new jobs, the unemployment rate has hit the lowest rate in a half a century,

the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any previous administration in the history of our country.

Most analysts2 agree that basic indicators3, including the stock market, GDP and unemployment look great, giving the president a political boost.

I believe it has it is fair to say that the economy has continued its upward trend, throughout the end of the Obama administration and the beginning of the Trump administration.

But how do Americans feel?

People say that we are getting a more of a tax cut, and the economy is better.

I can’t necessarily see that personally.

A recent Gallup poll shows that Americans rate this economy as the best since the late 1990s.

Yet many Americans work minimum-wage jobs, and have difficulty paying all of their bills.

More than 38 million people live below the poverty threshold.

And more than 90 million live close to poverty.

Sure, wealth is growing.

But there’s also a growing fear that some of this wealth is concentrated among a few people.

And it’s not really being spread across the population.

A point that Democratic presidential contenders like to hone in on, as they attack Trumps5 economic policies.

Economy and a government that works for all of us, not wealthy campaign contributors.

The same poll showed that more than 6 in 10 Americans, say they are better off than they were when Trump took office.

And it’s extremely difficult to beat a president, no matter whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat4,

when the economy is roaring along, there are plenty of jobs, wages are going up.

All of those things help keep an incumbent6 president in office.

No other incumbent president in the past three decades has enjoyed,

such a high percentage of people saying they feel better about their economic situation.

Still, there are many other factors that will determine the final outcome in the November election.

在他的集会和几乎所有其他场合,特朗普总统喜欢谈论增长的经济。

自我当选以来,美国新增了700万个就业岗位,失业率降至半个世纪以来的最低水平,

本届政府的平均失业率低于美国历史上任何一届政府。

多数分析师认为,包括股市、国内生产总值和失业率在内的基本指标看起来都不错,这给总统带来了政治上的提振。

我认为,公平地说,在奥巴马政府结束和特朗普政府开始的整个时期,经济一直在持续增长

但是美国人是什么感觉呢?

人们说我们将得到更多的减税,经济也会更好。

我个人并不这么认为。

最近的一项盖洛普民意测验显示,美国人对美国经济的评价是自上世纪90年代末以来最好的。

然而,许多美国人从事着工资最低的工作,难以支付所有的账单。

超过3800万人生活在贫困线以下。

超过9000万人生活在贫困线以下。

当然,财富在增长。

但人们也越来越担心,这些财富中有一部分集中在少数人手中。

它并没有在人群中传播。

民主党总统竞选人在抨击特朗普的经济政策时,喜欢抓住这一点。

经济和政府是为我们所有人服务的,而不是只为富有的竞选捐款人。

同样的民调显示,超过60%的美国人说,他们的生活比特朗普上任时更好。

要击败一位总统是极其困难的,无论他是共和党人还是民主党人,

当经济蓬勃发展的时候,会有大量的工作机会,工资会上涨。

所有这些都有助于现任总统继续留任。

在过去的30年里,没有任何一位现任总统享受过这样的快乐,

如此高比例的人说他们对自己的经济状况感觉更好。

不过,还有许多其他因素将决定11月大选的最终结果
