經典對話
A: Could we possibly discuss my salary sometime?
我們可不可以找一些時間談談我的工資問題？

當然可以。

首先，我想跟您說，我非常喜歡在咱們公司工作。你覺得我幹得還不錯吧？
B: Well. You're a very hard-worker.
嗯，你工作非常勤懇。
A:I try very hard. The problem is my salary just isn't enough to live on. Now that I have a wife and a child to support, we hardly have enough money for food and rent.
我非常賣力了。問題是，我的工資不夠養家餬口。因爲我家裏還有老婆和孩子，我們的錢都不足以支付房租和飲食的開銷。

每個人都有一段困難的時期，你有什麼建議？

太多了。如果你漲了，大家都得漲。
A: Listen, if you give me a raise, I'll take on extra responsibilities.
