Part Four: Monologue 1
Social security is a government program that provides a fixed 2 monthly payment of money to people over 68 years old. The great U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt created it in the 1930’s. Workers pay for it by having a small amount taking out of their paycheck every month, which the government invests very safely. Then, when they retire, they receive a check in the mail every month from the government. Social security is a very important issue in the U.S. presidential campaigns because older people tend to vote more than younger people.
社会保险是一项政府规划,它每月为68岁以上的老人提供一定数额的资金。这项规划是20世纪30年代由美国伟大的总统弗兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福开始实施的。每个月从业人员的从薪水中拿出一小部分来支付,然后政府对这部分钱妥善投资。之后,等到他们退休,政府每个月便给他们邮寄一张支票。社会保险是美国总统竞选重要的一个环节,因为比起年轻人来说,老年人更热衷于投票。
