Unfortunately, with neither trade nor aid, almond farmers in California now stand to lose the most in this escalating trade war.
加州杏仁成為中美貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)的最新受害者,過(guò)去兩個(gè)月杏仁價(jià)格跌了10%,而且,,特朗普總統(tǒng)對(duì)農(nóng)業(yè)120億美元的聯(lián)邦緊急援助并未覆蓋加州農(nóng)產(chǎn)品,。既沒有貿(mào)易,,也沒有援助,,加州農(nóng)民在這場(chǎng)不斷升級(jí)的中美貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)中損失最慘重,。
The sun is shining and the waters are flowing… Oh, hello! Didn’t see you there. I’m just roasting in the California sun. It’s been a good year for me and my family. In fact, our harvest this year might be the best ever on record at 2.45 billion pounds. The world depends on us to satiate its appetite, since our state provides over eight out of 10 almonds in the world.
陽(yáng)光明媚,,流水潺潺……你好,!你在這兒呢。我在加州的陽(yáng)光下曬太陽(yáng)呢,。對(duì)于我和我的家人來(lái)說(shuō),,今年可是個(gè)好年景!因?yàn)榻衲甑氖粘墒怯杏涗浺詠?lái)最好的了,,有24.5億磅呢,。全世界都指望我們來(lái)滿足人們對(duì)杏仁的需求,因?yàn)槿?0%以上的杏仁都來(lái)自我們州,。
An almond is roasting in the California sun.
But for my growers, this abundance may not be good news. That’s because President Donald Trump has started a trade war against China. In retaliation, China has enacted a 50-percent combined tax on me, my friend pistachio, and other classic California produce.
但對(duì)杏仁種植者來(lái)說(shuō),今年的大豐收可不是什么好事兒,,因?yàn)樘乩势湛偨y(tǒng)對(duì)中國(guó)發(fā)動(dòng)了貿(mào)易戰(zhàn),。作為反擊,中國(guó)對(duì)我,、我的朋友開心果和加州其他經(jīng)典農(nóng)產(chǎn)品征收高達(dá)50%的總關(guān)稅,。
That’s too bad because Chinese consumers love me. I’m high in protein, but low in fat. Their middle class is growing, and they have a growing appetite for healthy living. It’s actually the top foreign destination for me, as a third of California’s almonds go there.
