基本英语单词：“年终奖”英语怎么说？

　　咱们来看看《中国日报》中的一段话有关基本英语单词的例句：

　　Only 20 percent of employees expect their year-end bonus will be more generous than last year's, while the inflation mounted to 4.4 percent, according to a survey by Chinese-language newspaper National Business Daiily.

　　从上句话中咱们可能看到，“年初奖”的英语就是基本英语单词“year-end bonus”，“bonus”指的就是“额外津贴，奖金”的意思。除了这个常用意思，它还能够指“anything pleasant in addition to what is expected”，比喻说：

　　The warm weather in winter has been a real bonus.(冬天有这样暖和的景象真是苦海无边。)
