Taylor Swift and Khalid to Perform at the 2019 TIME 100 Gala
泰勒·斯威夫特和哈立德将在2019 TIME 100 Gala 上表演
Taylor Swift and Khalid will perform at the 2019 TIME 100 gala on April 23, a celebration of TIME’s annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people.
泰勒 · 斯威夫特和哈立德将于4月23日在2019年《时代》100年度盛会上表演，庆祝《时代》年度全球100位最有影响力的人物。
Fresh off her record-breaking Reputation stadium tour and at the precipice of her next creative era, Swift spent the year continuing to earn acclaim. “Taylor makes the job of creating music for millions of people look easy,” fellow pop star Shawn Mendes wrote in a tribute to Swift for the TIME 100 issue. “It all comes from her — her belief in magic and love, and her ability to be as honest and raw as possible. She’s the master of putting the perfect amount of thought into not overthinking, and that’s why her music connects so well.”
斯威夫特刚刚结束了她破纪录的"声誉体育场"巡演，并处于下一个创作时代的悬崖边缘，这一年她继续赢得喝彩。 "泰勒让为数百万人创作音乐的工作看起来很容易,"同为流行歌手的肖恩 · 门德斯在《时代周刊》100期上向斯威夫特致敬时写道。 "这一切都源于她——她对魔法和爱的信仰，以及她尽可能诚实和原始的能力。 她是一个善于把大量的思想投入到不过度思考中的大师，这就是为什么她的音乐如此连贯的原因。"

Close Abe ally floats possible delay in raising consumption tax
安倍的亲密盟友可能推迟提高消费税
A close ally of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hinted at a possible delay in the planned October hike of the consumption tax rate on April 18, triggering speculation that a snap Lower House election could be called.
日本首相安倍晋三(Shinzo Abe)的一位亲密盟友暗示，计划于4月18日在10月份提高消费税的举措可能会被推迟，这引发了有关日本可能提前举行下议院选举的猜测。
Koichi Hagiuda, the executive acting secretary-general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, pointed to recent economic reports in connection with the planned consumption tax hike from the current 8 percent to 10 percent.
执政党自民党(Liberal Democratic Party)执行代理秘书长滨田康一(Koichi Hagiuda)指出，最近的经济报告与计划将消费税从目前的8% 提高到10% 有关。
"While the economy was on a strong recovery course, it has fallen somewhat more recently, as seen in the Bank of Japan (quarterly) 'tankan' survey," Hagiuda said on an April 18 program of the DHC Television Co., which broadcasts over the Internet. "We will have to closely look at the next one in June."
Hagiuda 在4月18日 DHC 电视公司的一个节目中说:"尽管日本经济正在强劲复苏，但最近有所下滑，正如日本央行(季度)的'短观调查'所显示的那样。"DHC 电视公司在互联网上广播。 "我们将不得不密切关注6月份的下一次危机。"
