Claw back: 奪回,費力收回
[ 2004-07-12 01:00 ]
英國連鎖超級市場圣斯伯里公司(J Sainsbury)的股票重跌5.7%,這主要是由于稍早時候公司宣布2004至05年的稅前盈利將低于市場預(yù)期,而且董事會主席彼特·戴維斯(Peter Davis) 被迫辭職。由于股東對彼特·戴維斯的獎金方案和繼任人選不滿,該公司于7月8日宣布收回給予戴維斯的獎金。外電中有這樣的報道:The company said the decision to claw back every penny of the bonus was made when the board realized the true scale of Sainsbury's problems. 其中claw back表示to get back with great difficulty or effort,即“奪回,費力收回”,例如:Through aggressive advertising the company managed to claw back its share of the market.(公司通過大作廣告,成功地奪回了它的部分市場。)
