職務轉調與薪事 (考慮調職)
（★ 聽對話內容）
本週話題焦點：職務轉調與薪事 (考慮調職)
Dan meets up with Kathy the next day during their coffee break, and asks about her possible new position.
Dan 隔天在休息的時候遇到 Kathy，於是問了她關於她可能得到的新職位。 |
Dan: Hey! How are you feeling today?
Dan：嗨！今天覺得如何？
Kathy: Hi! I feel a lot better. Thanks for asking. I've scheduled a meeting with the HR manager to discuss the possibility of transferring to the marketing department.
Kathy：嗨！我覺得好多了。謝謝關心。我已經和人事部的經理約了面談時間，討論是不是有可能調到行銷部門。
Dan: That's fantastic. I really hope that you get it. When will you meet her?
Dan：那太好了。我真的很希望妳會得到這個職位。妳什麼時候要去見她？
Kathy: Tomorrow at 11:00. I'm so nervous. She told me that I'm the only one that has shown an interest in transferring to the marketing department, so I think that I have a good chance.
Kathy：明天十一點。我好緊張哦！她說我是唯一有興趣調到行銷部門的人，所以我想我應該挺有機會的。
Dan: What about the salary? You won't be making any commission in the marketing department.
Dan：那待遇呢？你在行銷部門可沒有佣金可以拿哦！
Kathy: Yeah, I know. I'll ask her about the remuneration package tomorrow during our meeting. There is no commission for sure, but the salary will be higher and I won't have to worry about making enough to pay my bills.
Kathy：對啊，我知道。我明天和她談的時候會問她有關薪資的事。雖然是真的沒有佣金，可是薪水比較高，我不用擔心賺的錢不夠付賬單。
Dan: I guess that you're just not cut out to be a salesperson. I don't care about the base salary at all. I'm just here to make big money on commission!
Dan：我想妳不適合當業務。我一點都不在乎底薪，我當業務是要賺大筆的佣金。
Kathy: Then you should give me your base salary if you don't care about it!
Kathy：你要是不在乎底薪，那你應該把你的底薪給我。
Dan: Thanks for your encouragement. I can't wait to tell my wife.
Dan：謝謝你的鼓勵。我等不急要跟我太太說了。
Dan: Ha! You must be feeling better now. I see that you've gotten your sense of humor back!
Dan：哈！妳肯定是好多了，我發現你的幽默感又回來了！
重要字詞講解：1. schedule (v.) 預定

（我已經和人事部的經理約了面談時間，討論是不是有可能調到行銷部門。）
