麦当劳（中国）公司要向员工“大派红包”了！据悉，从9月1日起，在中国内地815家麦当劳餐厅供职的95%全职、兼职员工将全面上调工资。

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.

报道说，麦当劳（中国）公司发言人George Gu承认，今年四月份麦当劳违规用工事件是加速此次调薪的一个原因。

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）。

此外，员工们渴盼的“加薪”表述方式也相当多，可以说成是pay rise，或是pay increase，或是pay raise，或者是pay boost等等。
