The dance craze in the Philippines has hit tax agencies in Cebu City, where collectors break out a few moves in a campaign to raise revenues.
菲律宾的舞蹈风尚也冲击了宿务市的税务代收机构。在这里，收税员在一个提高税收的活动中也秀了几个舞步。
The treasurer’s office in Cebu City say they wanted to see happy rather than sad faces on taxpayers.
宿务市的财务主任办公室表示，他们想看纳税人开心而不是愁眉苦脸。
In a dance-crazy city like Cebu, where video of Filipino prisoners imitating Michael Jackson shot to Internet stardom fame, Cebu’s tax collectors wanted in on the action.
在宿务这样一个狂热于跳舞的城市，曾有菲律宾犯人们模仿麦可杰克森的影片放上网际网路一举成名。宿务的收税员想要跟上这波行动。
The city treasurer says they doubled their daily collection in business and real estate taxes just days after they launched their routine a week ago.
城市司库表示，他们在一周前启动了这项例行公事后的几天当中，他们在商业和房地产的每日税收就已成长两倍。
[Emily Alegrado, Cebu Resident]:
“At least the tax payers will be encouraged to pay their taxes, thanks to these dancing employees.”
[艾密莉阿里加多，宿务市民]：
“这些跳舞的职员，起码能起到鼓励纳税人纳税的作用。”
The tax collectors also seem to enjoy it.
这群收税员似乎也乐在其中。
[Jofrey Guanzon, Tax Collector]:
“We’re very much happy. We’re enjoy — all of us. We’re very unexpected. It’s only one day practice just to, to give the best of our, sort of gratitude to tax payers through dancing.”
[裘弗瑞关尚，收税员]：
“我们非常非常开心。我们所有的人都很乐在其中。我们非常出人意料。我们只用了一天练习，只是为了把我们最大的，某种对纳税人的感谢之情透过舞蹈表现出来。”
On a national scale, the government has launched a high-profile campaign against suspected tax evaders to increase government funds.
在国家层级上，政府已启动对付涉嫌逃税者的明确政策活动，藉以增加政府收入。
