subsidy

n. 补助金,津贴

The islanders don't want to leave, and probably wouldn't if there were a subsidy to reduce freight charges. But they don't see that happening.

岛上居民不愿离开；要是有补助金使运输费用降低的话，他们很可能不会离开。但是，他们对补助金并不存奢望。

It's the old and the poor who suffer worst when subsidies are cut.

补助津贴一削减，最吃苦头的就是那些老人和贫民。
