زبان خزانه (ای) / زبان مدافع خزانه Explanation: According to this website (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/?&sid=cp104KJ3Y8&refer... lockbox language sounds to mean language or wording in support of the lockbox. Below is a part of the text about this term: The 1995 rescission bill passed by the House includes the so-called `lockbox' language offered by Representative Brewster. The lockbox requires that the caps be adjusted downward to reflect the impact of 1995 rescissions, ensuring that all of the savings go toward deficit reduction. In addition, the language requires a further downward adjustment in the caps after 1995 `calculated by inflating the amount of the rescission using the baseline procedures.' The combined effect of this language is to lower the outlay caps by more than $35 billion through 1998. If the adjustment were extended to match the new caps in H.R. 1219, it could total more than $60 billion through 2000. Because the bill adds lockbox savings to its other cap reductions, the Majority's list of illustrative spending cuts contains double-counting. The list, which displays possible cuts to achieve the $100 billion in discretionary reductions required by the bill, includes several programs that are cut or eliminated in the 1995 rescission bill. Programs that appear in both the illustrative list and the rescission bill include training and employment programs, low-income home energy assistance [LIHEAP], Community Development Financial Institutions, and various housing programs. To use these savings to also meet the cap reductions required by H.R. 1219 is to double-count, and to offer a misleading picture of the steps needed to comply with the pending legislation. The illustrative list is not sufficient. More has to be cut when double-counts are taken out. |

زبان ذخیره/زبان کاهش هزینه ها Explanation: Let's start with the "lockbox," a fictional concept popularized by Al Gore during his presidential bid, as well as by the Saturday Night Live comics who made fun of him. Social Security and Medicare (Hospitalization Insurance, or Part A) are financed through a payroll tax that takes in more than it is currently spending. It is these surplus funds -- about $160 billion from Social Security and $30 billion from Medicare -- that Mr. Gore wanted to put in a "lockbox," and that the Bush Administration is now being accused of "raiding." http://www.commondreams.org/views01/0823-06.htm In addition to H.R. 1162, which Mr. Crapo has presented andwhich now has nearly 50 bipartisan co-sponsors, I understand,"lockbox" language was included in the Emergency SupplementalDisaster Assistance and Rescissions Act, which we remember asH.R. 1158, and has been proposed in various forms as amendmentsto appropriations bills, as well, as those of us on the Rules Committee well know.The idea really is quite simple. If we say we are going to save money, we should mean it. Funds that this Congress decides not to spend, as we proceed through the annual appropriations cycle, should not be routinely permitted to be channeled into other programs. Those funds should generally be saved and applied to reducing the annual deficit first and to bringing down the cumulative national debt, once our yearly budgets are balanced. http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:KoEGYpEtifQJ:bulk.resou... |

لاک باکس / صندوق ضمانت خزانه Explanation: lock box has various definitions with regard to the context in which it is used. Babylon defines it as "a fireproof metal strongbox (usually in a bank) for storing valuables (synonym) safe-deposit, safe-deposit box". In banking, it is a service offered by banks to companies in which the company receives payments by mail to a post office box and the bank picks up the payments several times a day, deposits them into the company's account, and notifies the company of the deposit (http://www.investorwords.com/2868/lockbox.html). Here is another definition: "LockBox is a tool for the Palm Pilot and compatibles that helps users securely manage account information. Multiple account information is protected by a single password using RC4 encryption" (http://www.codecubed.com/lockbox/). The definitions and examples of the usage of lock box by the US government is also provided by my colleagues. In such a situation, I prefer transliteration "لاک باکس" and if I am asked for a Persian equivalent, I'd go for "صندوق ضمانت خزانه". |

| lockbox language مطن/مفاد مربوط به تصور "لاک باکس" که صندوق فرضی برای در آمد مازاد دولت است Explanation: I don't feel that "zaban" is the right word here. Here, "language" just means "words". Sometimes the scope of a word in one language is very different from the basic meaning in another language. A good example is "literature" in English, where we talk about "sales literature, maintenance literature, cooking literature" but it would not be correct to use "adabiyat" in Persian (although it seems to be happening). Any comments? |
