情景口語：讓人糾結的薪水

情景會話：A和B正在談論他們的薪水問題。

A: How time flies! It's pay day again!

A: 時間過得真快！又到了發薪日了！

B: Yes, it is! You're an engineer, aren't you?

B: 是呀，真快！你是工程師，是嗎？

A: Yes, I am.

A: 是的。

B: So you must be earning decently, don't you?

B: 那你錢一定掙得不少嘍？

A: Well, just average.

A: 哦，只不過一般而已。

B: What's your salary then, may I ask?

B: 那能不能問一下你的薪水是多少？

A: Sure. My monthly pay is $2,500. What about yours?

A: 當然，我每月的工資是2500美元，你的呢？

B: I'm paid weekly, and it's around $700 per week.

B: 我拿的是週薪，每星期大約700美元左右。

A: That means you can get $2,800 a month. Right? That's quite a sum of money.

A: 那就是說你每月可得2800美元，對嗎？這是相當可觀的一筆錢呢！

B: Yes, but my pay is on an hourly basis and it's not up to much.

B: 是的，不過我的工資是以小時計算的，而這筆收入並不足道。

A: Then you must be working overtime.

A: 那麼你一定在加班工作了。

B: That's right. I work 24 hours' overtime a week. And the overtime pay is usually more than the regular pay.

B: 對，我一星期加班24小時。而加班工資通常要高於固定工資。

A: So overtime has a bearing on how much you may make in a job. Don't you think so?

A: 所以加班影響工資收入的多少，你不這樣認爲嗎？

B: Definitely. And the degree of responsibility in a job also has a great deal to do with the salary.

B: 是這樣，而且工作中所負責任的輕重程度同薪水也有密切聯繫。

A: Yes. And so are other factors such as experience and fringe benefits.

A: 是的，其他如經驗、福利待遇等因素也是這樣。

B: No doubt about that. But anyway I have to work hard to earn my money.

B: 這是毫無疑問的，不過無論如何我得努力工作才掙得到錢。
