情景对话
A: Shall we talk about my salary if you have time now?
B: Sure.
A: First of all, I have been in the company for two years and I really like working here.
Do you think I'm doing a good job here?
B: Well, you are very hard working.
A: The problem is, I have to support my old parents, and my salary just isn't enough tolive on(靠……生活).
B: What do you have in mind?
A: I really want a 10% raise.
B: That's quite a lot. If I give you a raise, I have to give everyone a raise.
A: If you give me a raise, I'll take on extra responsibilities.
B: That sounds reasonable. How about this? From now on, you can be responsible for(对……负责)shift schedules. If you can't find someone to cover a shift, you'll have to do it.
A: That sounds good to me. I really appreciate it.
A:如果现在你有时间，我们可以谈谈我的工资问题吗?
B:当然可以。
A:首先，我来公司有两年了，我非常喜欢在这儿工作，你觉得我干得还不错吧?
B:嗯，你工作确实很勤恳。
A:但问题是我得赡养年迈的父母，我的工资不够养家糊口。
B:你有什么想法?
A:我想涨10%的工资。
B:太多了。如果你涨了，大家都得涨。
A:如果你给我涨工资，我可以承担更多的责任。
B:这听起来很合理。要不这样吧，从现在开始，值班安排由你负责。如果有人不能值班你就得自己来值。
A:这似乎对我挺合适的，太谢谢你了!
