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!
