Hello!
In the cold of mid-winter, today's WordMaster could seem doubly chilling!
(WAGE) FREEZE (賃金)凍結
- (city official)
After three years of soaring rent prices, we've decided to freeze rents throughout the city. - By freezing interest rates for five years, the government hopes to slow foreclosures.
- Labor has agreed to a two-year voluntary wage freeze to help the company through the current financial crisis.
- The university has just announced a hiring freeze, effective immediately.
- Now that inflation seems to be under control again, we expect the government to lift (= end) the price freeze very soon.
Stay warm!
