I sent six miles away to Citra early Sunday morning, asking a picking crew to come at once, and offering double the usual pay.

周日清晨，我派人到六英里外的 Citra， 要求采摘人员立即过来， 并提供双倍的报酬。

If I had wanted to, I could have taken the run to Vietnam with a subsidiary shipping company and easily doubled my pay instead of taking five months of vacation.

如果我愿意的话，还可以用那5个月的假期随一家附属船舶运输公司的船只到越南去，这样年收入能翻一番。

The latest increase would more than double the basic pay of assembly line workers in Shenzhen and bring it to a level they currently only reach by working 12-hour shifts six days a week.

最新的加薪举措使富士康深圳工厂流水线工人的基本工资提高一倍多。目前工人想要挣到这么多钱，必需一周工作6 天、每天工作12 个小时。

One of the first businesses to implement this was the Ford Motor Company, in 1914, which not only cut the standard workday to eight hours, but also doubled their worker's pay in the process.

最早实行这一制度的企业之一是福特汽车公司。1914年，福特汽车公司不仅将标准工时减少到8小时，而且还将工人的工资提高了一倍。
