HUBBS' BEAKED WHALE

"We want to review how we do things and how we can do things with less hands," Mr Hubbs said.

“我们希望重新审议我们的做事方式，以及怎样才能节约人手，”哈布斯表示。

“It’s kind of a scary situation, quite frankly,” said Charles Hubbs, the American owner of Fortunique, a Guangzhou-based medical products manufacturer.

“坦白地说，情况有些吓人，”广州医疗产品制造商Fortunique的美籍所有者查尔斯•哈布斯(Charles Hubbs)表示。

Hubbs employs about 500 workers earning 1, 800 to 2, 000 yuan ($275 to $306) a month, a lot higher than Guangzhou’s 1, 300 yuan minimum wage, which came into effect March 1.

霍布斯雇佣了大约500名工人，月薪在1800元到2000元（美元275到306元），仅比广东省三月一日起的最低工资线1300元高了一点。
