Mnemonic


报酬 Compensation is the 酬 reward you get after handing in a 报 report of all of the work you did. It's a bit more boring and usual than a proper 酬 reward, so we say that part [5] quietly.

Usage


他 的 工作 报酬 很 高。

The compensation for his job is very high.

我 希望 得到 合理 的 报酬。

I hope to receive fair compensation.

他 帮助 别人,不 求 报酬。

He helps others without asking for compensation.
