Welcome to another episode of 6 Minute English with me Feifei.
歡迎和我一起來到新一期BBC 6分鐘英語，我是Feifei。
And me Neil.
還有我Neil。
We’re talking about pay and what people earn today and Neil have you brought a salary fact to get us started?
我們將討論薪酬和目前人們掙多少錢的話題。Neil，一開始，你有給大家帶來薪酬結果嗎？
I have! The United Nations International Labour Organisation or the ILO has been looking at earnings around the world, and they’ve worked out the average person’s monthly salary.So, how much do you think it is?
帶來了！聯合國國際勞工組織（The United Nations International Labour Organisation ）或簡稱ILO組織一隻在世界各地調查人們的收入，並且已經計算出人們人均月工資。你認為應該是多少？
How much does the average person earn? What, in dollars?
人均月收入？是按美元算嗎？
Yep, US dollars. Per month.
Yep，美元。每個月。
Hmm… I’d say, hmmm, about $5,000 a month.
Hmm…我說是大約一個月 $5,000。
$5,000 a month, are you sure?
一個月 $5,000，你確定？
Yes, am I right?
是的，我說對了嗎？
Well, Feifei you’re absolutely wrong, I’m pleased to say. According to the ILO, the average worker earns $1,480 a month.
好吧，Feifei，很高興的告訴你，你完全錯誤。根據ILO提供的資料，每個人人均月收入 $1,480。
Wow, I was a bit generous there…
wow,我有點慷慨了...
Yes, very out of character!
是的，很離譜！
Hmmm, that is a lot less than I was expecting… there’ll be a lot of people asking for pay rises then?
Hmm，這離我預期的差太遠了...那很多人都會要求加薪了？
I suppose there will be! Are you going to be one of them?
我想是的！你想成為其中的一份子嗎？
You know me Neil…
你知道的，Neil...
Yes I do. Do you feel a role-play coming on?
是的，我知道。接下來你想進行角色扮演嗎？
Do you know what - I think I do!
你知不知道 — -我想做！
Can I be the boss?
我能演老闆嗎？
No, I think it’s actually my turn to be the boss.
不行，我覺得這次真的輪到我演老闆了。
Every time, every time… so, you are the boss?
每次都是，每次都是...所以你當老闆？
I am the boss! I don’t remember being the boss.Anyway let’s get on with the role-play: I’m the boss and you’re asking me for a pay rise. Ready?
我是老闆！我不記得以前演過老闆。不管怎樣，讓我們進入角色：我是老闆，你問我加薪。準備好了嗎？
Ready!
準備好了!
Hi, are you free for a quick chat?
Hi,有時間聊聊嗎？
Sure, What can I do for you?
當然有，有什麼事嗎？
OK. Well, it’s a bit difficult, but I think I should have a pay rise.
Ok。額，雖然這有點困難，但是我覺得應該給我加薪。
OK and why do you feel like that?
你為什麼會這樣認為呢？
Well, I’ve taken on a lot more responsibility recently and I really believe that I’ve grown in the job. My last project was very successful and I just think I should be rewarded.
最近我在工作上傾注了更多的責任，而且我真的認為我在這份工作中成長了。我上一個項目非常的成功，我只是覺得我應該得到獎勵。
OK, well, what kind of rise are you thinking of?
好的，那你想漲多少呢？
Well, I think that 5% isn’t too much to ask.
我覺得5%的要求並不多。
5%... Hmm… Well, let me think about it and get back to you.
5%...Hmm,好的，讓我想想再回復你。
OK, thank you.

Let’s ask Business Betty to tell us more.Are you there Betty?
讓Business Betty告訴我們更多。你準備好了嗎，Betty?
It’s Business Betty!
是Business Betty!
Ah Betty, wonderful to see you. Looking fantastic as ever, you’ve been on holiday?
Betty，見到你真好。精彩如往，你一直在度假嗎？
Thank you Neil. Yeah, lovely, Costa Brava, very nice.
謝謝Neil，是的， Costa Brava,非常可愛非常好的一個地方。
With a destination like that, I am sure you earn a lot more than $1,480 a month, don’t you?
能去像那一樣的地方，我肯定你一個月掙的比$1,480多多了，是嗎？
Neil, Neil, Neil, you should really know that in British culture, it’s terribly impolite to ask people how much they earn.
Neil, Neil, Neil,你應該瞭解英國的風俗習慣，問人們一個月掙多少錢是非常不禮貌的。
Sorry Betty, yes, you’re quite right. I shouldn’t ask you that. But can I ask you to tell us how to ask for a pay rise?
很抱歉Betty，你非常對。我不應該問你的。但是我可以問你怎麼加薪吧？
You most certainly can Neil. There are a few things to remember when you’re asking for a pay rise. First, make sure it’s a good time to ask.
太可以了，Neil。當你要求加薪的時候應該記得這幾點。首先，得確保這是一個（加薪的）好時機。
Hi, are you free for a quick chat?
Hi，有時間聊聊嗎？
Next, use verbs like ‘think’, ‘feel’ and ‘believe’. And use adverbs like ‘really’ for added emphasis.
其次，取用像“think”, “feel”和“believe” 這一類的動詞。使用“really”這樣的副詞作為強調。
I think I should have a pay rise. I really believe that I’ve grown in the job.
我認為我應該加薪。我真的覺得我在工作中已經成長了。
Give reasons why you should get a pay rise:
給我讓你加薪的理由：
I’ve taken on a lot more responsibility lately.My last project was very successful.
最近我在工作有更多的責任心。我上個專案非常成功。
Be clear about what you want:
一定要清楚你想要什麼：
Well, I think that 5% isn’t too much to ask.
我認為5%的加薪要求並不多。
And always, always be polite.
並始終要有禮貌。
OK, thank you, please. Thank you, please, please.
好的,謝謝你,請。謝謝你,請,請。
So to sum up: if you’re asking for a pay rise, make sure it’s a good time, use phrases like ‘I really think’, give your reasons, say what you want and be polite! Anything else I can do for you?
總結一下：如果你想加薪，首先確保時機要對，使用“I really think”這樣的短語，給出你的理由，說出你想要什麼，並且要有禮貌！還有什麼需要我的嗎？
No Betty. You’ve done more than enough already, thanks Betty.
沒了Betty。你做的已經夠多的了，謝謝你，Betty。
Then I’ll be on my way. Goodbye!
那我走了。拜！
