单位主管：你目前（或上一份工作）的待遇是多少？How much do you make now? (Or how much did you make from your last job?)

    应征者：

    （1）我目前（或上一份工作）月薪是三万五千块，加上两个月的年终奖金。I am presently (or was) making 35 thousand dollars plus 2 months of year-end bonus.

    （2）我的薪水低于比一般行情。I am (or was) making less than the average pay.

    （3）对不起，我不想回答；因为这两份工作的职务与行业都不一样，两者无法相提并论，所以不如请您告诉我公司规定是多少？ I am sorry but I’d rather not answer your question because these two jobs are totally different in the nature. I cannot compare an apple with an orange; this job has nothing to do with my current (or last) job. Therefore, why don’t you suggest me how much I should ask for?

    笔者注：虽说应征者面试时要尽量配合资方的讯问，但如果你真的不想回答有些问题的话，可以婉拒；记住语调要客气，脸上要挂着微笑哦。

    单位主管： 你的希望待遇是多少？（这高出我们的预算。） What is your expected salary? (That’s more than we had planned.)

    应征者：
    （1）就这个工作而言，以我的学历/能力/经验，理想是三万五左右，但希望不低过三万块月薪。（我相信这个要求很合理。） Based on my education/skills/experiences to this job, my ideal is 35 thousand but not lower than 30 thousand a month. (I believe this is very reasonable.)

    （2）我希望有四万出头。（您将会发觉我是物超所值。） I am looking for low 40 thousand. (You will find I am worth more than every dollar of what you pay me.)

    （3）我想要求五万五到六万（但这可以再商量）。 I would like to have 55 to 60 thousand (but that’s negotiable).
