From next april , mr osborne announced , the cpi will be used to uprate benefits , tax credits and public-sector pensions .

奥斯本先生宣布，从明年四月起，居民消费价格指数（cpi）将用于提高福利、税收抵免、公共养老金。

In recent years , cash benefits targeted at children and at poor pensioners have helped reduce inequality among those groups , while in the middle more people have been pulled into the top rate of tax by the failure to uprate thresholds fully in line with earnings .

最近几年，针对儿童和贫困退休者的现金福利帮助降低了这些人群的不平等程度，而在社会中层，由于未能完全按照收入的变化提高税收起征点，更多人被迫支付最高税率。
