请问precedent setting 是什么意思呀~~~谢谢~~~

是为以后做先例的意思，就是说事情a相对于后来的事情来说是作为一个先例的，a之前没有类似的事情发生过，a也会一直合理地存在，起到作为以后事件的先例作用。

例如：

However, the question still remains: have the gains already made in pay equity

under comparable worth principles been of a precedent-setting nature or are

they mostly transitory, a function of concessions made by employers to mislead

female employees into believing that they have made long-term pay equity gains?

在comarable worth 原理下得到的平等工资的性质是能够（对以后的女性争取平等工资）作为先例的还是只是暂短的，由雇主以妥协的方式来误导女性员工，让她们以为她们得到了长期的平等工资？
