Just to be clear, Eckel is talking about people giving money to the government above and beyond what they owe in taxes.

需要澄清的是，埃克尔谈论的是人们向政府提供的钱超出了他们所欠税款的数额。

Eckel's study found that they were twice as likely to give to a specific cause than to the general fund, and they donated roughly two and a half times more.

埃克尔的研究发现，他们为特定事业捐款的可能性是普通基金的两倍，而且他们的捐款大约是普通基金的两倍半。
