The G7 advanced economies have struck what they have termed a “historic agreement” on taxing multinationals in a bid to create unstoppable momentum for a global deal.
七国集团(G7)发达经济体达成了对跨国公司征税的“历史性协议”，以求为达成一项全球性协议形成不可阻挡的势头。
A communique issued on Saturday showed that the US, Japan, Germany, France, UK, Italy and Canada had found enough compromise both to stop companies shifting profits to low tax jurisdictions and ensure the largest multinationals pay more tax where they operate.
上周六发布的一份公报显示，美国、日本、德国、法国、英国、意大利和加拿大在彼此间找到足够妥协，形成一个共识：一方面阻止企业将利润转移到低税收司法管辖区，另一方面确保大型跨国公司在其经营所在地缴纳更多税款。
The deal was hailed by finance ministers and marks a significant step forward in negotiations that started in 2013.
该协议受到各国财长的欢迎，并且标志着自2013年开始的谈判向前迈出重要一步。
