Case One

　　Interviewer: I'd like to know the salary you expect.

　　我想了解一下，你期望的薪水是多少？

　　Applicant: My salary requirement may be too high, and I hope my primary will not be lower than RMB 4,000. First, I think I am an excellent graduate. Though there will be a transition period, I will soon make profits for the company. What's more, I think if a company is willing to pay a high salary for a post, it also indicates its importance. And only in this situation can I be convinced that I can get more learning opportunities and better prospects.

　　我的薪酬要求可能偏高，我希望我的起薪不低于4000元。首先我认为自己是一名优秀的大学毕业生，虽然刚到企业需要一段过渡期，但很快我就能为企业创造价值。而且，我也认为,一个企业如果可以开出较高的薪水，可以证明企业对这个职位的重视度。在这样的情况下，我才有信心能从企业获得更多的学习机会和更好的发展机遇。

　　Case Two

　　Interviewer: I'd like to know your salary expectations.

　　我想了解一下，你期望的薪水是多少？

　　Applicant: Since I am a recent graduate , there will be a transition period after I enter the company. So at the beginning, the profits I make for the company will be limited and I don't have specific requirements. But man has to survive. So I hope the salary will be enough to help me to be economically independent from my parents.

　　因为我是一个刚毕业的大学生，进入企业将有一段时间的适应期，一开始为企业创造的价值有限，所以我对薪金没有特定的要求。但人总是要生存的，所以，我希望我的薪金能够让我独立，在经济上不再依赖父母。
