據(jù)報(bào)道，汽車制造商戴姆勒克萊斯勒公司將在其梅塞德斯部門裁員8,500人,占公司總員工數(shù)的十分之一。這次裁員計(jì)劃將會(huì)提高梅塞德斯·奔馳部門的生產(chǎn)率，從而增強(qiáng)奔馳汽車的市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。請(qǐng)看報(bào)道：

DaimlerChrysler, a German-US joint carmaker, announced on Wednesday that it will cut 8,500 jobs at its Mercedes Car Group. "These headcount reductions are indispensable. They will contribute to significant improvements in the competitiveness of Mercedes-Benz through an increase in productivity," the company said.

文中的headcount為"職員總數(shù)"的意思。如：Media executives outside the BBC expect job cuts to total 6,000 - just over one in five of the BBC's current 28,000 headcount.（高層預(yù)計(jì)至少會(huì)裁掉6000個(gè)工作崗位，所占比例超過(guò)BBC總共2.8萬(wàn)名員工的1/5。）此外，headcount 還可表示"總?cè)藬?shù)"。
