    【英文報道】
    Automaker FAW - Volkswagen has become the target of envy as news spread online of the company's plans to give out year-end bonuses equaling 27 months of salaries, Guangzhou Daily reported Thursday.
    據(jù)廣州日報周四報道,網(wǎng)上一條一汽大眾將發(fā)放相當(dāng)于27個月工資的年終獎,招來一片“羨慕嫉妒恨”。
    “年終獎”的英文是year-end bonus,文中的year-end bonuses是其復(fù)數(shù)形式。FAW的全稱是First Automobile Workshop,即“第一汽車制造廠”;Volkswagen是德國的汽車品牌大眾,其縮寫為VW。
    The company confirmed the news but said it was not that much as they based the bonus on the basic salary, which is 3,000 yuan ($466) per month. Basic salary accounts for one-third of the total payroll for the company, the report said.
    一汽大眾證實了該條消息,但是稱是以3000元(466美元)的月基本工資作為獎金發(fā)放的基數(shù),所以實際并沒有那么多。報道稱,一汽大眾公司員工的基本工資占工資總額的三分之一。
    Payroll是公司支付給員工的工資總額,員工工資總額一般由basic salary(基本工資)和bonus(獎金)組成。
