HIGH PRICE OF MOM'S HELP IS DRAG ON FAMILY BUSINESS
DEAR ABBY:
Twenty years ago, my sister and I bought a business from our mother. We all love and respect one
another and get along well. We will be finished paying off the business in two years.
Our problem: Mom, who is now 77, still draws a salary from us above and beyond the payment for
the business. Her workload has lessened greatly, as it should. She could do all of her work in one
day and lessen the burden of her salary. However, she says she'd "go crazy" if she retired. We
don't want that. She could still come in as often as she wants and do her personal paperwork, bank-
ing, letter-writing, reading, etc. These are all things she does at "work" -- on the clock.
If we try to discuss this, Mom gets hurt and says, "Just let me know when I'm not worth the money."
We don't want to do that. We would hope she would see the fairness of this and suggest it herself.
Business expenses are going through the roof, and there are updates we should make, but we
can't do it as long as we are paying Mom at the level we are, on top of the money for the buy-out.
-- DAUGHTERS DEAREST

still draws a salary from us above and beyond the payment for the business.这句话不太理解,请问有谁可以帮帮我解读一下呢?
听友229544757 回复 @听友315215943:
背景是两姐妹盘下了她们母亲的店。所以这句话的意思是:我们除了要支付母亲盘下她店面(生意)的钱以外,还要支付她薪水。

妈妈从我们这里领的工资已经大于业务收入了
