Claw back: 夺回,费力收回
[ 2004-07-12 01:00 ]
英国连锁超级市场圣斯伯里公司(J Sainsbury)的股票重跌5.7%,这主要是由于稍早时候公司宣布2004至05年的税前盈利将低于市场预期,而且董事会主席彼特·戴维斯(Peter Davis) 被迫辞职。由于股东对彼特·戴维斯的奖金方案和继任人选不满,该公司于7月8日宣布收回给予戴维斯的奖金。外电中有这样的报道: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“夺回,费力收回”,例如:Through aggressive advertising the company managed to claw back its share of the market.(公司通过大作广告,成功地夺回了它的部分市场。)
