| 11 | These disastrous outcomes of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act were no surprise to the over 1,000 | 《斯穆特-霍利关税法》的这些灾难性结果对1 000多人来说并不奇怪。 |
| 12 | economists who publicly condemned the bill. | 公开谴责该法案的经济学家. |

| 23 | chain reaction. | 连锁反应。 |
| 24 | So to keep things simple, let's look at some examples from just one country to explore | 因此,为了简单起见,让我们来看看一些例子 从一个国家来探索 |
| 25 | some of the factors that make a tariff's outcomes tricky to predict. | 使关税结果难以预测的一些因素。 |
| 26 | First, tariffs can be applied to different countries at different rates. | 首先,关税可以以不同的税率适用于不同国家。 |

| 28 | However, if that wool came from Mexico or South Korea, it would be tariff-free due to | 但是,如果羊毛是从墨西哥或韩国运来的,那么由于 |
| 29 | trade agreements. | 贸易协定。 |
| 30 | Meanwhile, importers getting wool from Russia could face a hefty 55.5% tariff. | 与此同时,从俄罗斯获得羊毛的进口商可能会面临高达55.5%的关税。 |

| 38 | roughly $1.5 billion. | 大约15亿美元。 |
| 39 | This means consumers paid roughly $817,000 to create each of those jobs. | 这意味着消费者花费了大约817 000美元来创造这些工作。 |
