Ⅳ.对话篇

Beth: I like the idea of working in sales.

贝丝：我喜欢在销售部门工作的主意。

Sally: Oh, I don't think I would like it at all.

莎莉：哦我觉得我根本不喜欢它。

Beth: I'm surprised to hear that. Why wouldn't you like sales?

贝丝：听到这我觉得很惊讶。你为什么不喜欢销售工作？

Sally: There is too much pressure to make sales all the time and I don't like the idea of working for commission.

莎莉：整天推销压力太大了，而且我不喜欢工作拿提成。

Beth: I think that commission is a great idea - the more you sell the more you make.

贝丝：我认为拿提成是个很棒的主意－你卖得越多，你挣得也就越多。

Sally: But if I make no sales, I get no commission. How can I pay the rent?

莎莉：但是如果我卖不出去，我就没有提成。我怎么付租金？

Beth: Sales is challenging I know, but the rewards can be big.

贝丝：我知道销售很有挑战，不过报酬很可观。

Sally: I prefer to work for a salary. At least I know exactly how much I will earn each month.

莎莉：我更喜欢拿固定工资。至少我知道每个月我确切挣多少钱。

Beth: Without sales, there would be no company. I am proud to lead the way for the rest of the staff!

贝丝：没有销售就没有公司。我为带领着公司的其他员工前进颇感得意！
