qualm, quell, quail都来自原始印欧语词根*gwele-，看着词形不像，但是发音上跟kill非常像。*gwele-本义是throw，意思是投掷，可以想象为古人捕猎时像猎物投掷长矛，所以有杀死的意思。quell跟kill词形和发音上很像，意思是镇压，和kill也有类似的地方。后来的qualm、quail的程度有所减轻，表示不安和畏缩。而queasy则很像是kill easy组合起来，字面上也有不舒服的意思。
qualm/kwɑːlm/ 疑虑，不安，忧虑。例句：She had a qualm about lying to her parents. (她对向父母撒谎产生了疑虑。)
Quell /kwel/ 镇压、平息、抑制或减轻某种情绪、感觉或活动。例如：The police managed to quell the riot before it spread further.（警察成功镇压了骚乱，防止其进一步扩散。）
She tried to quell her rising anger.（她试图控制她正在上升的愤怒。）
Quail/kweɪl/ 畏缩、退缩或感到害怕。通常用来形容在面对困难、危险或挑战时的心理状态。例如：He quailed at the thought of speaking in front of such a large audience.（他一想到要在这么多观众面前讲话就感到胆怯。）
The soldiers did not quail in the face of danger.（士兵们在危险面前并没有畏缩。）
queasy/ˈkwiːzi/（因恶心或不适）感到不舒服或恶心的；（因不安或不确定）感到不安定或不安全的。
例句：The boat's rocking motion made her feel queasy.（船只的摇晃让她感到恶心。）
He always gets queasy before flying. （他每次坐飞机前都会感到不安。）
The news of the impending layoffs left the employees feeling queasy.（即将裁员的消息让员工们感到不安。）
日本经济复苏
Price growth has helped push firms to raise wages, too. Annual negotiations, known as shunto, have produced big salary increases for two years running. This year’s average nominal wage growth will exceed 5% for the first time since 1991. The trend is likely to continue, thanks to demographic and generational changes. As Japan’s working-age population shrinks, the competition for talent is heating up. Changing jobs was once seen as taboo; young Japanese today have fewer qualms about that.
物价增长也推动了企业工资提升。被称为春闘的年度谈判连续两年大幅调高薪资。今年的名义工资增长率将首次超过1991年以来的5%。由于人口结构和代际变化，这一趋势可能会持续。随着日本劳动年龄人口减少，人才竞争日趋激烈。曾经被视为禁忌的跳槽如今对年轻日本人来说已不再是问题。
Shunto 春斗，通常於春季进行，日本员工统一阵线，争取加薪的方式，由各产业界的工会发动。
