前不久，笔者听说了一件十分令人不解的事。某村有两位老人，子女均在外地工作，由于身体不好，家里有好几年没养猪了，可他们每年要向有关部门缴７４元的生猪屠宰税。７４元看起来是个小数目，可没喂猪也要缴税却显得十分荒唐。更令人气愤的是，这样的事在农村绝非仅此一例。 Not long ago, I heard a very puzzling thing. There are two elderly people in a certain village. Their children are all working in the field. Due to their poor health, they have not raised pigs for several years. However, they are required to pay a pig slaughtering tax of 74 yuan a year to relevant departments. 74 yuan seems to be a small number, but also did not have to pay taxes pigs seem very absurd. Even more annoying is that such a thing is not the only case in rural areas.
