新闻热词：审议 deliberate on

《个人所得税法修正案（草案）》23日提交十届全国人大常委会第十七次会议进行首次审议。修改主要涉及两项内容：将工薪所得减除费用标准从800元提高到1500元；以减轻中低工薪收入者的税收负担；要求高收入者自行申报纳税，对其税收进行交叉稽核。报道如下：

China's top legislature on Tuesday started to deliberate on the draft amendment to the personal income tax law, a major move that experts see is meant to narrow the widening gap between the country's rich and poor.

The draft amendment includes lifting the tax collection starting line from 800 yuan (98.8 US dollars) to 1,500 yuan (185 US dollars) and forcibly asking high-income groups to file tax returns and pay taxes themselves.

文中的"deliberate" means to think or talk seriously and carefully about something. deliberate 常与on搭配，意思为"审议；仔细研究"。如：The jury took five days to deliberate on the case.（陪审团花了五天时间来研讨此案。）又如：He's deliberating whether or not to accept the new job that he's been offered.（他在慎重考虑要不要接受人家提供的新工作。）此外，"个人所得税"的英文表达就是 "personal income tax"。
