全面 (Across-the-board)

日前,政府宣布增加立法會議員的支出10%,但政府的決定不會影響在明年10月全面修改立法會議員薪津的可能性。
The decision will not affect the possibility of an across-the-board revamp of legislators'compensation when the government conducts a planned review next October。財政司司長在今年7月發表的諮詢文件,提出全面的銷售稅。In a consultation paper released in July this year, Financial Secretary Henry Tang Ying-yen proposed an across-the-board GST. A tentative 5 percent levy is expected to raise
HK$20 billion a year。Across-the-board 是「全面」的意思。它是形容詞,其他例子:The initiative has across-the-board support 是「該倡議得到了全面的支持」,He promised across-the board tax cuts if reelected 是「他答應在競選連任後全面減稅」。注意:Across the board 是常用片語。例子:The index rose 214.58 points to 19093, with gains across the board。是「恆生指數報19093點,升214.58點,全面報升」。
