Brian:i tried, but sometime i just can't pull myself out of it(陷入其中
,无法拔身), so i thought i was a dumb and stupid person, and unsuccessful.
Nikky:what the "successful" mean to u?
Brian:a successful man is one who can earn more money than his wife can
spend,i can not even earn the enough money for myself
Nikky:how much u earn every month
Brian:well, much lower than u can expect, 5000RMB, including all the ta
xes and Medicaid(医疗补助), if u don't have a clear idea about how exactly,
put itsintosus that's around 600 us so that amount is actually enough for me
to make a living myself, but if for me and another girl, it will be a probl
em.
Nikky:while, is 5000RMB a month a lot in China?(也可以谈谈薪资水平,但前
提是在双方都比较了解的基础之上,因为好象他们都比较在乎这个,比较忌讳这个话题
,所以如果是刚开始一见面就问"hello, tell me how much u earn a month",别人肯
定不会理你)
Brian:on everage, it's a lot in Shanghai, and shanghai is actually one
of the best well-paid cities in China, other cities includes Beijing ,Guangz
hou and Shenzhen, so if in shanghai, 5000RMB is a lot, it will also be a lot
in China.
Nikky:then what u worry about , what u be upset about, i nearly envy u
a little
Brian:and u, how much u earn, Nikky?
Nikky:i make about -3400 a month plus a bonus(加上奖金) sometimes, and
i pay a month for my apartment, but i have a lot of other bills and my car a
nd without a full time job i wont be able to pay for all of them(这个Nikky一
个月就够挣我半年的)
Brian:that's a lot. Tell me where can i find this kind of job?
Nikky:that's not a lot, i don't have too much savings(存款) actually, u
love money?
Brian:u know, i am not money hooker, i can live with maybe 500RMB, but
in shanghai , the biggest issue for me right now, is that the house, the apt
i live, i don't own a house, have to pay the rent every 3 months, that's my
terrible overload.(房租是我沉重的负担)
Nikky:things will be better off(生活会更好,更光明,克林顿访中国时候就说
过)"we'll be better off if the Chinese people and the American people can ho
ld hands and understand each other better") if u can afford a apt for yourse
lf.
Brian:that's one of my dream, and probably it will take me forever to h
ave one(我永远也拥有不了自己的房子), it's ridiculously expensive(贵的离谱),
on the condition of my current salary, it will take me for about 15 years to
buy a 70 Square meter apt, sort of near the suburb , those downtown apts ar
e more expensive.(按目前的薪资,要买一70平米的房子,得15年,还是郊区的)
Nikky:15 years? U are lucky, here in US a 900 Square foot(美国的长度单位
还有重量单位跟我们不太一样,他们用英尺、英寸和磅,900平方英尺我按1米3英尺换算
了一下,差不多100平米)apt will actually cost us 150 years to buy, mostly peo
ple get the loan from the bank and pay them every month in a while.
Brian:u make me feel better, and no wonder that i saw that the america
people are working so hard (我这才明白为什么大部分美国人其实工作起来都蛮认真
的,否则没有工作银行就不给你贷款,房子也就完了)
Nikky:yeah, they are very seriously working guy for their credit rates(
美国银行的信用等级)in the bank.
Brian的小结:跟老外打交道有个事情很烦,就是他们的长度单位和度量单位跟咱们
不一样,即使你再会运算,总有个计算时间差让你一时反应不过来到底是多少,就象我
告诉他们100平米到底有多大一样,他们用的是英尺,有一次我和一个加州女孩交谈甚欢
,以至于她毫不保留的把体重都告诉了我,大约是260磅,当时我还以为这是一个很苗条
的体重。
