“奖金”常见的英文表达是 bonus，读音为英 [ˈbəʊnəs]；美 [ˈboʊnəs] 。例如：
The company gave each employee a year-end bonus.（公司给每位员工发放了年终奖金。）
He received a substantial bonus for his excellent performance.（他因出色的表现获得了一笔丰厚的奖金。）
此外，prize money 也可表示“奖金”，不过它更侧重于因在竞赛、比赛中获胜而获得的奖金，读音为英 [ˈpraɪz ˈmʌni]；美 [ˈpraɪz ˈmʌni] 。例如：
The winner of the race took home a large sum of prize money.（比赛的获胜者拿回家了一大笔奖金。）
