请看外电相关报道:U.S. fast food giant McDonald's Corp said on Tuesday it would give its Chinese employees their first across-the-board pay rise.
McDonald's became embroiled in a public controversy in April, when Chinese newspapers reported it was paying some part-timers far below local minimums. \"The wage issue partly helped us accelerate salary adjustments in China,\" McDonald's China spokesman George Gu said.
报道中的“salary adjustment”指的就是“调薪”。“Adjustment”可用来形容对价格、薪金方面的调整,如:to make minor adjustments in oil prices(对石油价格略做调整),to make an adjustment in sb’s salary(对某人的薪金做以调整)。
