经典对话
A: Have you finished going through the contract?
你看完合同了吗?
go through表示“浏览”
B: Yes, but I have a few questions for you.
看完了,不过我有几个问题要问你。
A: Okay, ask anyway.
好,你问。
首先,我想知道你们这里有没有为员工提供病假?
A: Employees can take up to 10 days of sick leave per year. However, in order to get paid, you will have to bring in a note from the doctors.
有,员工每年有十天病假。不过如果不想扣工资的话,最好找医生开假条。
即使我只生病一天也要开吗?
没错。
如果你问我意见的话,我觉得这条规定太严苛了。
嗯,我们必须要把这条写进合同。因为以前我们这儿有很多员工即使没有生病,也几乎每月都要修一次病假。
B: I see. I guess that makes sense.
我懂了,你们这样做确实有道理。
make sense表示“有道理;讲得通”
A: Do you have any other questions?
你还有其他问题吗?
有,合同里涉及了产假,可是没有提到父亲假,公司有没有为新父亲们提供假期?
be mentioned in...表示“有在...被涉及/提到”
A: We do actually. We can add that as an amendment to your contract.
有的。我们可以把这一条作为补充条款写进你的合同。
amendment表示“修正案;修改”
B: How many days of paternity leave do you offer?
你们提供多少天的父亲假期?
A: Men are allowed to take ten days of paternity leave for their first child.
男性员工有十天假期。
be allowed to...表示“被允许...”比如“你被允许吃完饭抽根烟”翻译为“You are allowed to smoke after the meal”。那“不被允许做”就是“be not allowed to”
B: Why are women allowed so much more time for maternity leave?
为什么女性的产假比这要多的多呢?
女性要经历生产过程,我觉得给她们更多时间休息很合理,你不觉得吗?
合理,我没有其他问题了,是在这儿签字吗?
A: Yes, please.
是的,请签吧。
