今天的这段对话，在讨论加薪，
 
现在的工资不够养家糊口，如何跟老板谈加薪
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: Could we possibly discuss my salary sometime?
 
我们可不可以找一些时间谈谈我的工资问题？
 
B: Sure.
 
当然可以。
 
A: First of all, I want you to know that I really like working for this company. Do you think I'm doing a good job here?
 
首先，我想跟您说，我非常喜欢在咱们公司工作。你觉得我干得还不错吧？
 
B: Well. You're a very hard-worker.
 
嗯，你工作非常勤恳。
 
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.
 
我非常卖力了。问题是，我的工资不够养家糊口。因为我家里还有老婆和孩子，我们的钱都不足以支付房租和饮食的开销。
 
B: There are trying times for everyone. What do you propose?
 
每个人都有一段困难的时期，你有什么建议？
 
A: I could really use a 5% raise.
 
我想涨百分之五的工资。
 
B: That's quite a bit. If I give you a raise, I'm going to have to give everyone a raise.
 
太多了。如果你涨了，大家都得涨。
 
A: Listen, if you give me a raise, I'll take on extra responsibilities.
 
你听我说，如果你给我涨工资，我可以承担更多的责任。
 
B: That sounds reasonable. How about this? From now on, you can be responsible for scheduling. That means if you can't find someone to cover a shift, then you'll have to do it.
 
这听起来很合理。要不这样吧，从现在开始倒班安排由你负责。那就是说如果有人不能值班，你就得自己来值班。
 
A: That's fine. Do I get over-time for any extra hours that I work?
 
行，如果我超时工作的话会按加班算吗？
 
B: Of course. It'll be against the law If we didn't.
 
当然算，不然我们就违法了。
 
A: That sounds good to me. I really appreciate it.
 
这似乎对我挺合适的，太感谢你了。
 
B: You're welcome. come in early tomorrow and I'll show you how to do the scheduling.
 
不客气，明天早点来，我告诉你怎么排班。
