抢人大战？苹果公司挽留奖出手阔绰 文本导读 Apple Pays Another Round of Rare $200,000?Bonuses?to Some Staff 苹果公司向部分员工发放新一轮不同寻常的20万美元奖金 Apple Inc. is paying a small number of engineers another round of special stock bonuses as part of an unusual push to?retain?key talent, according to people with knowledge of the matter .? 据知情人士透露，苹果公司将向一小部分工程师发放新一轮特别股票奖金，这是苹果为留住关键人才而采取的不同寻常的举措的一部分。 The iPhone maker?doled out?the bonuses in recent days to a select group of employees in its software and hardware engineering departments, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the move isn’t public. The rewards ranged from around $100,000 to upwards of $200,000 in restricted stock units, with some in the company referring to them as special retention?grants. 知情人士称，这家iPhone制造商最近几天向其软件和硬件工程部门的一批精选的员工发放了奖金。由于这一举措没有公开，这些知情人士要求匿名。奖金是额度从约10万美元到超过20万美元的限售股，公司中的一些人将其称为“特别挽留奖”。 The bonuses are designed to keep the employees from leaving by vesting over several years, and they could become more valuable over time if Apple’s stock price continues to rise. The shares are up more than 40% over the past 12 months, though they’re down slightly in 2022 — part of a broader?pullback?for tech stocks. 这笔奖金将会在几年时间内逐步发放，目的是用来避免员工跳槽。如果苹果股价继续上涨，奖金的价值还将随着时间的推移而提高。苹果股价在过去12个月里上涨超40%，但在2022年略有下跌——这是科技股普遍回落的一部分。 晨读笔记 重点词汇 1.?bonus?/?b??.n?s/ an extra amount of money that is given to you as a present or reward for good work as well as the money you were expecting 奖金 The company used to give discretionary?bonus?payments. 2.?retain?/r??te?n/ to keep or continue to have something 保留 She has lost her battle to?retain?control of the company. 3.?dole?/d??l/?out:?to give something, usually money, to several people 发放 Vera was?doling out?candy to all the kids. 4.?grant?/ɡrɑ?nt/ an amount of money given especially by the government to a person or organization for a special purpose 补助金 They awarded her a?grant?to study abroad for one year. 5.?pullback?/?p?lb?k/ a situation in which prices fall suddenly from a high level 回调 The ma
