Nonetheless, by the late 1970s, candidates releasing their tax returns became common practice. So, what would a tax return reveal about Donald Trump?
盡管如此，到了上世紀70年代末，候選人公布納稅申報單就成了普遍做法。那么，納稅申報單會透露唐納德·特朗普的什么信息呢？
Well, the documents would show his income, which he has been accused of vastly overstating, as well as his many business ventures, which few people know the actual success and scope of. But experts say that the most significant and perhaps damning reveal would be his donated assets.
這些文件會顯示他的收入，而他被指責過分夸大了這一點，還有他的許多商業業務，而很少有人知道這些企業的實際成就和范圍。但專家表示，最重要、或許也是最需要披露的是他捐贈的資產。
Trump has repeatedly boasted about his charitable giving, claiming to have donated more than $100 million dollars to charity, even calling himself an "ardent philanthropist". However, many have questioned the accuracy of those statements.
特朗普一再吹噓自己的慈善捐贈，聲稱已經向慈善機構捐贈了1億多美元，甚至自稱是“熱心的慈善家”。然而，許多人對其言論的準確性提出質疑。
If Trump does not release his tax returns, he'll only be the eighth candidate not to do so since 1976. What's more, every president since Jimmy Carter has made their returns public prior to taking office.
如果特朗普不公布納稅申報單，他將成為自1976年以來第8位不公布納稅申報單的候選人。并且，從吉米·卡特總統任期開始，每位總統都在上任前就公布了自己的申報單。
In more than one instance, these documents have caused the public to raise an eyebrow. When Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney finally released his tax return under mounting public pressure, they revealed that he had between $20 and $100 million dollars in an Individual Retirement Account.
這些文件在不止一個例子中已經引起了公眾的不滿。當共和黨總統候選人米特·羅姆尼在公眾壓力越來越大的情況下，最終公布納稅申報單時，他們透露，他的個人退休金賬戶中有2000萬到1億美元。
IRAs are a common way to achieve big tax breaks on savings, however federal law caps an individual's contributions to $30 thousand dollars per year. But in other cases, publicly disclosed tax returns have actually benefitted a candidate.
個人退休金賬戶是實現儲蓄大幅減稅的常用方式，但聯邦法律規定，個人每年的繳費金額為3萬美元。然而在其他情況下，公開披露的納稅申報單實際上讓候選人受益。
For example, Bill and Hillary Clinton's 1994 tax returns corroborated the President and First Lady's claims about their controversial Whitewater land deal, and George H.W. Bush's 1991 return revealed that he had donated more than half of his income to charity.
例如，比爾和希拉里·克林頓1994年的納稅申報單證實了總統和第一夫人關于他們備受爭議的白水土地交易的說法，喬治·赫伯特·沃克·布什1991年的納稅申報單顯示，他將收入的一半以上捐給了慈善機構。
In his defense, Trump has said that he cannot release his tax returns until the IRS finishes an audit of his finances. However, critics have noted that an audit does not bar candidates from disclosing returns, and has not prevented other candidates from doing so in the past. Regardless of Donald Trump's motivation to keep his documents private, the lack of financial transparency is unusual for a presidential candidate.
特朗普在辯護中說，在國稅局完成對他財務狀況的審計之前，他不能公布納稅申報單。不過，批評人士指出，審計并不妨礙候選人披露申報單，過去也并沒有阻止過其他候選人披露申報單。無論唐納德·特朗普是否是為了將文件保持私密，但對于總統候選人來說，缺乏財務透明度的情況并不常見。
