??景象会话：A和B正在谈论他们的薪水疑问。
A: How time flies! It's pay day again!
A: 时刻过得真快！又到了发薪日了！
B: Yes, it is! You're an engineer, aren't you?
B: 是呀，真快！你是工程师，是吗？
A: Yes, I am。
A: 是的。
B: So you must be earning decently, don't you?
B: 那你钱必定挣得不少喽？
A: Well, just average。
A: 哦，只不过一般而已。
B: What's your salary then, may I ask?
B: 那能不能问一下你的薪水是多少
？
A: Sure. My monthly pay is $2,500. What about yours?
A: 当然，我每月的薪酬是2500美元，你的呢？
B: I'm paid weekly, and it's around $700 per week。
B: 我拿的是周薪，每星期大约700美元支配。
A: That means you can get $2,800 a month. Right? That's quite a sum of money。
A: 那就是说你每月可得2800美元，对吗？这是恰当可观的一笔钱呢！
B: Yes, but my pay is on an hourly basis and it's not up to much。
B: 是的，不过我的薪酬是以小时核算的，而这笔收入并缺乏道。
A: Then you must be working overtime。
A: 那么你必定在加班作业了。
B: That's right. I work 24 hours' overtime a week. And the overtime pay is usually more than the regular pay。
B: 对，我一星期加班24小时。而加班薪酬一般要高于固定薪酬。
A: So overtime has a bearing on how much you may make in a job. Don't you think so?
A: 所以加班影响薪酬收入的多少，你不这样认为吗？
B: Definitely. And the degree of responsibility in a job also has a great deal to do with the salary。
B: 是这样，而且作业中所担任任的轻重程度同薪水也有亲近联络。
A: Yes. And so are other factors such as experience and fringe benefits。
A: 是的，其他如经历、福利待遇等要素也是这样。
B: No doubt about that. But anyway I have to work hard to earn my money。
B: 这是毫无疑问的，不过不管如何我得尽力作业才挣得到钱。
