　　年底突击花钱

请看报道：

The Hunan provincial commission of financereportedly spent 30 million yuan ($ 4.7 million) on apurchase which was really worth 15 million yuan. The related officials said they did it to "expend thebudget".

据报道，湖南省财政厅花费3000万元(470万美元)采购了市价1500万元的商品。有关官员称这么做是为了“花完预算”。

文中的expend the budget(花完预算)指的就是year-end crash expenditure(年底突击花钱)，year-end就是指“年末、年终”，比如year-end report(年终报告)、year-end bonus(年终奖金)等;crash 一般指“碰撞;坠毁”，比如air crash(飞机失事)，此外，crash还可表示“应急的，速成的”，比如crashcourse(速成班)、crash program(应急计划)以及crash expenditure(突击花钱)等。

“Crash expenditure(突击花钱)”、“expend the budget(花完预算)”，时值年末，有关政府“fundsources(钱袋子)”的消息再次引发热议。财经和税收专家将这一问题归因于imperfect budget system(预算制度不完善)。因此，只有进一步深化预算制度改革，让预算彻底公开透明，才能从制度上制止year-endcrash expenditure(年底突击花钱)的发生。
