我的理解是,单身者年收入12140美元,二口之家即夫妻都工作,二人的工资合起来略高于12140美元。that指代12140美元。注意and的使用,and并列的是earn的二个宾语,slightly more than that for a family of two并不是同位语。
About 12% of Americans (43 million) are considered poor, and yet they are employed. They earn an individual income below $12,140 per year, and slightly more than that for a family of two. If you include housing and medical expenses in the calculation, it raises the percentage of Americans living in poverty to 14%. That’s 45 million people.
个人的贫困水平为年收入低于12140美元,称略高于that for a family of two,怎么理解that?
