compensated 是动词 compensate 的过去式/过去分词,常见意思是“补偿;赔偿;酬劳/报酬”。在工作语境中也常指“得到薪酬(被支付)”。(另有较少见的含义,如“弥补、抵消”某种不足或损失。)
/ˈkɑːmpənseɪtɪd/
She was compensated for the delay.
她因延误而获得了补偿。
Victims were compensated not only for medical costs but also for the loss of income caused by the accident.
受害者得到的补偿不仅包括医疗费用,还包括事故造成的收入损失。
来自拉丁语 compensare,由 com-(一起、共同)+ pensare(称重、衡量)组成,原意带有“权衡后作出相应补偿/抵消”的概念,后来在英语中发展为“赔偿、补偿、支付报酬”。
