今天的這段對(duì)話(huà),在討論自由職業(yè),
做自由職業(yè)有什么好處?收入怎么樣
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
A: What's up? Are you in the middle of something?
你還好嗎?在忙嗎?
B: Yeah. I'm just working out how much money I've earned this month.
是啊,我正在算這個(gè)月我能賺多少錢(qián)。
A: Doesn't your company work that out for you?
這不是應(yīng)該由你的公司給你算嗎?
B: I don't work for a company anymore. After I got fired last month, I decided to become self-employed.
我現(xiàn)在不在公司上班了,上個(gè)月被公司解雇之后,我決定自己干。
A: Really? That's exciting. How do you like it so far?
真的嗎?太好了,那到現(xiàn)在為止你干的怎么樣了?
B: Well, I can wake up whenever I want and I don't have to ask anyone's permission to take a break.
我可以想什么時(shí)候起床就什么時(shí)候起床,想休息的時(shí)候也不用征求任何人的同意。
A: That sounds good.
聽(tīng)起來(lái)不錯(cuò)。
B: Actually. I'm working more hours now than I did before. But I don't mind as much because I'm the one making decisions.
實(shí)際上,我現(xiàn)在工作的時(shí)間比以前長(zhǎng)多了。但是我不太介意這個(gè),因?yàn)槲乙粋€(gè)人說(shuō)了算。
A: How's the pay?
收入如何?
B: I'd rather not say. It's kind of a personal thing.
我不想說(shuō),這是我的私事。
