Britain's biggest companies are slashing tens of thousands of jobs in a desperate effort to reduce costs as the coronavirus pandemic shocks the economy and forces businesses into survival mode.
疫情對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)造成嚴(yán)重沖擊，迫使企業(yè)進(jìn)入生存模式，英國(guó)最大的公司迫切需要削減成本，瘋狂裁員上萬(wàn)人。

The latest moves came Monday from oil major BP (BP) and luxury goods maker Mulberry, which said would cut 15% and 25% of their global workforces, respectively. That translates to 10,000 jobs at BP and 350 at Mulberry.
最新的動(dòng)態(tài)是，周一石油巨頭BP公司和奢侈品制造商邁寶瑞分別要在全球裁員15%和25%，也就是說(shuō)BP公司要裁掉10,000個(gè)崗位，邁寶瑞要裁掉350個(gè)崗位。

Major UK companies now have more than 75,000 job cuts in the pipeline, with more expected as partial lockdowns and social distancing continue into the summer months. Smaller companies are also being slammed, adding hundreds of thousands of job losses to the total.
英國(guó)的大公司現(xiàn)在要裁掉75,000多個(gè)崗位，由于部分地區(qū)封城，而且居家隔離要持續(xù)到夏季，所以預(yù)計(jì)還會(huì)有更多崗位被裁掉。小一點(diǎn)的公司也受到?jīng)_擊，還有成千上萬(wàn)人要丟掉工作。

British Airways (ICAGY) is slashing 12,000 jobs, or more than a quarter of its workforce, in response to the severe drop in travel demand during the pandemic. Rival carriers EasyJet (ESYJY) and Virgin Atlantic will jettison 4,500 and 3,000 positions, respectively, while engineering and aerospace company Rolls-Royce (RYCEF) is cutting 9,000 jobs. Parts supplier Meggitt (MEGGF) is reducing its workforce by roughly 1,800.
由于疫情期間旅游人數(shù)驟降，英國(guó)航空公司要裁掉12,000個(gè)崗位，裁員人數(shù)超過(guò)其員工總數(shù)的四分之一。其競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手易捷航空公司和維珍航空將分別裁員4,500人和3,000人，工程航天公司勞斯萊斯裁員9,000人，零部件供應(yīng)商美捷特裁員約1,800人。

Niche carmakers are also being hit hard, with jobs going at Bentley (1,000), McLaren (1,200) and Aston Martin (500). HSBC (HBCYF) announced in February that it would slash 35,000 positions, but has since put most of those redundancies on hold to avoid forcing workers to search for a new job during the pandemic.
利基市場(chǎng)的汽車制造商也受到嚴(yán)重影響，賓利裁員1,000人，邁凱倫集團(tuán)裁員1,200人，阿斯頓·馬丁裁員500人。匯豐集團(tuán)在二月份宣布要裁掉35,000個(gè)崗位，但后來(lái)為了避免員工在疫情期間跳槽暫緩裁員了。
