Last month, Mr. Depardieu announced his intention to renounce his French citizenship over the government's decision to raise the top rate of tax to 75%. Hugh Schofield reports.

上月，德帕尔迪约宣称由于法国政府决定将最高税率提高至75%，因此决定放弃法国公民身份。Hugh Schofield报道。

Mr. Depardieu told him that it wasn't the money that was the main issue but he was disgusted by the way France, in his words, spat on initiative and success.

德帕尔迪约告诉总统这跟缴税没多大关系，但他讨厌法国人唾弃首创精神和成功的态度。

The small Russian region is best known for the important role it played in Starlin's GULAG system. Gerard Depardieu ate pancakes, was given two kittens, and said everything was very beautiful.

俄罗斯的这个小地方因斯大林的古拉格系统而出名。杰拉尔·德帕迪约吃着煎饼，还得到两个小猫，他说一切都非常美好。

Mr Depardieu who's angry at the French government's attempts to raise the top rate of tax to 75% will pay just 13% income tax if he lives in Russia for at least 6 months a year.

法国政府试图将最高税率提高到75%，德帕迪约对此感到愤怒，但如果他在俄罗斯每年至少住上6个月，每年只要支付13%的收入税即可。
