Michael: Thanks for sitting down with me, Kate.
邁克爾:謝謝你能跟我坐下來談,凱特。
Kate: Sure thing. Tell me, why do you think you deserve a raise?
凱特:好的。請告訴我,為什么你認為自己應該加薪呢?
Michael: Well, first, I've met all of my performance goals for the past two quarters, and even exceeded them last quarter by more than ten percent.
邁克爾:首先,前兩個季度的績效目標我都達到了,甚至在上一季度超出績效目標的10%還要多。
Kate: That's pretty good. The company doesn't have a lot of extra money to throw around right now though.
凱特:那確實很棒。可是現在公司沒有太多額外的錢來做這件事。
Michael: I understand that, but I was hired with the promise that I would get a significant pay raise after six months. I've been here over a year now and have only gotten a very slight increase.
邁克爾:我明白,但是聘用我時公司曾承諾過6個月后我的薪水將會大幅提升。我已經在這里超過一年了,薪水只是提高了一點兒。
Kate: Alright. You're a good salesman and I want to keep you. You'll get a raise as soon as I talk to accounting.
凱特:好吧。你是一位出色的銷售人員,我希望你能留下。我跟會計談過后,就會給你加薪的。
