英语新闻听写 世界首富贝佐斯的年薪有多少?

 

Senator¹ Bernie Sanders called out Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on social media this week, comparing the executive's wealth to the typical Amazon worker who makes a little over $28,000 a year.

本周，参议员伯尼·山德士在社交媒体上指名亚马逊CEO杰夫·贝佐斯，把这位高管的财富与一年挣两万八千多美元的普通亚马逊工人进行对比。

While Bernie Sanders may have been making a point about workers' wages, Bezos' annual salary is likely much smaller than what most might expect.

虽然伯尼·山德士在工人工资的这一点上是有道理的，但是贝佐斯的年薪可能比大多数人预想的要少得多。

According to Bloomberg, Although Bezos owns one of the largest tech companies in the world and earned the top spot on the Forbes 2018 richest people list, his annual salary comes out to a little over $80,000 a year.

据彭博报道，虽然贝佐斯拥有世界上最大的科技公司并登上了福布斯2018年富豪榜榜首，但是他的年薪只有八万多美元。

While the figure is more than double what the typical Amazon worker makes, Bezos' annual salary is less than what the typical doctor or US congressman² makes in a year.

虽然贝佐斯的年薪比普通亚马逊工人的年薪高出了一倍多，但却不如普通医生或美国众议员的年薪高。
