越来越多美国人放弃美国国籍

　　A record number of people are giving up their US citizenship, new research published on Sunday found.

　　周日发表的新研究发现，放弃美国国籍的人创新高。

　　More than 5,800 Americans gave up their citizenship in the first six months of 2020 compared to the 2,072 Americans who renounced their citizenship in all of 2019, according to Bambridge Accountants, a New York-based firm.

　　据总部位于纽约的班布里奇会计师事务所称，2020年的前六个月，超过5,800名美国人放弃了公民身份，而2019年全年只有2,072名美国人放弃了公民身份。

　　The firm said it examined public data, published by the US government every three months, of the names of all Americans who give up their citizenship.

　　该公司表示，它调查了每三个月由美国政府发布的公开数据，其中列出了所有放弃其公民身份的美国人的姓名。

　　"These are mainly people who already left the US and just decided they've had enough of everything," Alistair Bambridge, a partner at Bambridge Accountants, told CNN.

　　班布里奇会计师事务所的合伙人阿利斯泰尔·班布里奇对美国有线电视新闻网说：“这些人主要是已经离开美国的人，只是认为他们已经受够了（美国的）一切。”

　　"What we've seen is people are fed up with everything happening with President Donald Trump, how the coronavirus pandemic is being handled, and the political policies in the US at the moment."

　　“我们已经看到，人们已经厌倦了特朗普总统，厌倦了冠状病毒大流行的处理方式，以及目前的美国政治政策。“

　　While many people who renounced their citizenship complain of being unhappy with today's current political climate in the US, another reason for their decision is often taxes, according to Bambridge.

　　根据班布里奇的说法，尽管许多放弃公民身份的人抱怨对当今美国的当前政治气氛感到不满，但他们做出这一决定的另一个原因通常是税收。

　　US citizens living abroad are still required to file tax returns every year, report their foreign bank accounts, investments, and pensions, he said.

　　他说，居住在国外的美国公民仍然需要每年提交纳税申报表，报告其外国银行账户，投资和退休金。

　　Americans who want to relinquish their citizenship must pay $2,350 and appear in person at the US embassy in their country if they are not in America.

　　想要放弃其公民身份的美国人必须支付2350美元，如果不在美国，则要亲自到所在国的美国大使馆办理。

　　Despite the risks that come with giving up a US citizenship, Bambridge predicts that the trend will only continue going up.

　　尽管放弃美国公民身份会带来风险，但班布里奇预测，这种趋势只会持续上升。

　　"A lot of people are waiting for the November election to see what's going to happen," he said. "If President Trump is reelected, we believe there will be another wave of people who will decide to renounce their citizenship."

　　他说：“很多人都在等待十一月的选举（结果），看看会发生什么。” “如果特朗普总统再次当选，我们相信将会有另一拨人会决定放弃其公民身份。”
