| 词组 | remunerate, remuneration |
| 释义 | remunerate, remuneration These undeniably formal words are sometimes cited as pretentious substitutes for such ordinary alternatives as pay and payment. Our evidence shows them to be most at home in writing that concerns serious financial matters, especially when large amounts of money—or other forms of compensation—are involved: • Marquand's post in the Ministry of Health is remunerated at the Cabinet rate ... but does not carry with it a seat in the Cabinet —Current Biography 1951 • ... where a company's income is extracted very largely as directors' remuneration which is intended to equalize year by year the tax burden —J. M. Cope, Business Taxation, 1972 Copperud 1970, 1980 notes that remunerate is sometimes misspelled renumérote. We have an example of this error in our files: • ... the highest renumerated corporate executive in the U.S. —Town & Country, March 1980 It is worth remembering that impressive words become far less impressive when misspelled. |
