⛑Much of the harm from the coronavirus is unavoidable, but it would be nice if politicians didn’t compound the damage by ignoring the laws of economics. The worst blunder so far on that score is the $600 increase in federal jobless benefits that is already undermining the economic recovery.
因新冠病毒疫情而來的傷害多數是無可避免，但這些傷害卻因為政客忽視經濟法則而加重，至今最大的錯誤是政府增加了600美元的失業補助，該項補助正在破壞經濟復甦。
-compound：使加重
-blunder：（因粗心或思慮欠周而造成）大錯
-undermine：削弱、損害
⛑On Wednesday we ran an op-ed from Kurt Huffman, whose Portland, Ore., company helps chefs run and staff their restaurants. Because of the coronavirus, he had to lay off 700 people. But some restaurants have adapted with takeout and delivery, so he needs to hire some back.
週三，我們做了一輯Kurt Huffman的特別專欄，他的公司位於奧勒岡州的波特蘭市，專門協助主廚經營他們的餐廳與提供人力，近期由於疫情的關係，他已經解雇了七百名員工，但有些餐廳已經成功轉向外帶與外送的服務，所以他需要重新聘僱一些員工。
＊op-ed：opposite to the editorial的簡稱，此為歐美報紙出版業專有名詞，相對內部編輯撰寫的社論（不具名）版面，op-ed是外部人士具名撰寫之時事評析。
-staff：名詞員工，動詞為…提供人力
-lay off：解僱
-adapt with：適應
📰Some extra unemployment insurance is necessary, but the rich extra compensation from the $2.2 trillion Cares Act is encouraging those employees to stay home. Mr. Huffman did the math in his op-ed: A starting wage for a line cook is about $640 a week. Oregon’s unemployment offers about $416 per week. But thanks to the $600 federal bonus, that same worker now collects $1,016. Why would anyone take a pay cut to go back to work?
部分的失業津貼加碼是必須的，但那些2.2兆美元維生法案所帶來的豐厚津貼卻是在鼓勵員工待在家中，Huffman在他專欄中做了個計算：假設一個二廚原先的基本週薪為640美元，奧勒岡州的失業補助提供了每週416元的津貼，但感謝聯邦政府每週加碼的600美元，現在原先每週只領416美元失業補助的廚師變成每週可以領到1016美元，如此為什麼有人要回去上班領較少的薪水呢？
-Cares Act：多翻為維生法案
-compensation：補償金
-wage：（通常指勞力工作）工資
-line cook: 主廚底下的二廚
未完待續...
到底為什麼會有這樣不合常理的事情發生？
