短释义
If an economist is talking about turnover, she probably means the rate at which a business loses employees, or how many jobs they have to fill over the course of a year. If that same economist is placing an order at a bakery, she may instead mean the flaky, triangle-shaped pastry that’s wrapped around a fruit filling. In the work world, having a lot of turnover is a negative thing. In the pastry world, a high rate of turnovers doesn’t sound bad at all.
当工人离开工作岗位并被其他工人取代时,这就是人员流动。一种完全不同的营业额是带有甜馅的美味烘焙食品。

如果经济学家谈论营业额,她可能指的是企业失去员工的速度,或者一年内必须填补的工作岗位数量。如果这位经济学家在面包店下订单,她可能指的是包裹着水果馅料的片状三角形糕点。在工作世界中,人员流动过多是一件消极的事情。在糕点界,高营业额听起来并不坏。
