台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
But before long, the higher demand fueled by these artificially low prices would encourage the pizza place owner to charge more for pizza… knowing that many people were getting government pizza assistance. And this says nothing of the taxpayers stuck paying for the pizza subsidies.
但是,不用多久,需求会因这些人为导致的低价格而变高,促使披萨店老板提高披萨的价格,因为他知道很多人有拿政府所提供用来买披萨的补助款。但这却压根没提到纳税人得被迫为这些披萨补助款买单。
