【kaka礼节美语】098 慈善捐款 2
公司开会，讨论慈善捐款的问题，Jenny建议事先调查一下。
J: The recommendation is that 60% of funds should go to projects with no more than 40% going to the charity's own costs.
M: Here's another good website: CharityNavigator.org. You can search specific groups and check their ratings. Red Cross is number five in the "Most Recommended Charities."
G: There's also animal-related groups. How about the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals?
F: They're number four on the list. Sounds good.
一般的开支规范是，慈善团体要将百分之六十的捐款用于慈善项目，行政开支不得超过百分之四十。Michael提到了一个叫"CharityNavigator.org"的网站，在该网站推荐的慈善团体中，红十字会排名第五，反对虐待动物社团排名第四。
J: World Vision is number one. They're a Christian group that ---1---.
M: ---2---.
G: I'll double check that donations to each of those groups are in fact tax-deductible.
向亚洲和非洲提供医疗帮助的基督教团体“世界视野” 名列第一。 Michael提醒说，做好事的同时，也要保证公司的捐款能抵税。 We do need to ensure that the company get a tax break from our contributions. Gina说，她会double check查清楚，这些慈善捐款都是能够抵税的。
F: I just had a thought. Every year we give corporate donations and that's all well and good, ---3---.
G: Interesting! You mean like volunteering? I like it.
M: Hummm.... that could work. Any specific suggestions?
F: Well, we all have our pet causes. Gina is an animal lover. I have church projects. Jenny is a computer genius....we all have something we could teach or offer.
Frank建议，在捐款的同时，也可以用做义工的方式为慈善事业出力。这一建议受到了大家的肯定。
J: That idea is very worth considering. ---4---.
G: Yeah. Even doing something simple like volunteering to answer the phone lines at the Red Cross can be a huge help.
M: Ok, ---5---?
All: Agreed!
大家都觉得这个主意不错。Jenny说，从某种角度说，这比给钱更有意义。 That's a lot more meaningful than giving money. 最后大家一致同意，捐款只做为慈善募捐的一部分。另外一部分由大家自己挑选慈善团体，为它们贡献时间或是专业技能。http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201203/201203311022176459253.mp3provides lot of medical assistance in Asia and Africa
And of course, while we all enjoy doing a good deed, we do need to ensure that the company can get a tax break from our contributions
but we might consider giving our time instead
In some ways, that's a lot more meaningful than giving money
how about if we give half of our contribution as donations and for the other half we give our time or expertise to the group of our choice
