[00:00.00]聽力課堂網(wǎng)(tingclass.net)I'm broke now that it's just before payday.
[00:01.85]剛好在發(fā)薪日前我已一文不名。
[00:03.71]This month has been quite a drain on my wallet.
[00:05.58]我這個月的花費真不少。
[00:07.44]After taxes and insurance,there's no much left to take home.
[00:09.69]扣掉稅金和保險費后，剩下能帶回家的就不多了。
[00:11.94]How much of a bonus can I expect?
[00:13.20]獎金不曉得能領多少？
[00:14.47]Is this what you call counting your chickens before they hatch?
[00:16.48]這就是所謂蛋未孵出先數(shù)雞（打如意算盤）嗎？
[00:18.49]As a salaried worker,considering how much my bonus is ,I realize how hard it is to quit.
[00:21.54]做為一個上班族，想到獎金數(shù)目，我才領悟到辭職不干是多么困難。
[00:24.58]It'll be thrilling to get my first bonus.
[00:26.16]我第一次領到獎金，我會很激動的。
[00:27.74]Maybe I should send something to my family back home when I get my first bonus.
[00:30.16]第一次領到獎金，或許我該送些東西給家人。
[00:32.57]Maybe I should go ahead and buy a car with my next bonus.
[00:34.30]下次領獎金時，我干脆（索性）買部車子。
[00:36.02]I shouldn't have bought so many things on credit.Now I have to spend my bonus to make the payments.
[00:38.97]我不該賒買那么多東西?，F(xiàn)在我得用獎金去償還了。
[00:41.93]Many shops have bargain sales during the bonus season.
[00:43.62]很多商店在發(fā)獎金期間，進行大減價銷售。
[00:45.32]I envy those guys on salary when the bonus season comes.It's not always easy to make it as a freelancer.
[00:48.99]獎金季節(jié)來到時，我真羨慕那些領薪水的家伙。做個自由職業(yè)人，要能時常感覺滿足，可真不容易。
[00:52.66]I wish we housewives got a salary and bonus,too.
[00:54.32]我希望我們家庭有月薪和獎金可拿。
[00:55.98]Although I earn the pay,It's my wife who holds the purse strings.
[00:58.27]雖然薪水是我賺的，掌握薪水袋的卻是我太太。
[01:00.55]I wonder how much of a raise I'll get this year.
[01:02.25]今年我不曉得能獲得多少加薪。
[01:03.95]This year I'll travel to...,buy a BMW and a new set of golf clubs...Hmm,just can't give up the single life.
[01:07.83]今年我要到……旅行，買部BMW和一套新高爾夫球桿。嗯，單身貴族生活就是令人無法放棄。
[01:11.71]I should start saving some.
[01:12.82]我應該開始存點錢。
[01:13.93]I don't like to have my money just sitting in the bank,so maybe I should try investing in stocks.
[01:16.81]我不喜歡把錢放在銀行，或許我應試著投資股票。
[01:19.70]Everybody's talking about the investment craze.But how can I get in on the action without anything to invest?
[01:23.00]每個人都在談投資熱。但是我沒有什么東西可以投資，要怎樣才能湊熱鬧呢？
[01:26.31]I shouldn't quit my job until after I get my bonus.
[01:27.80]我要在領獎金以后再辭職。
[01:29.29]My entire bonus will go toward paying off our housing loan and children's education.
[01:32.03]我全部獎金都會花在房屋貸款和孩子學費上。
[01:34.77]What's the bonus like at other companies?
[01:35.99]其他公司的獎金不知道怎么樣?
[01:37.20]It's payday!Let's party!
[01:38.81]發(fā)薪日了！我們去高興一下！
[01:40.41]I finally got my bonus.Maybe I should go to  a fancy French restaurant.
[01:43.48]我終于拿到獎金了。也許我該去家上好的法國餐廳。
[01:46.55]And the reality is that my wife makes more than me.
[01:48.58]事實是我太太賺得比我還多。
[01:50.60]Uh-huh,I forgot about the automatic draft for my credit card payment.
[01:53.23]啊，我忘記了用信用卡是自動提款的。
[01:55.85]Oh,no.My bank account is overdrawn.
[01:57.80]哦，糟了。我的銀行帳戶透支了。
[01:59.75]Maybe it's because I'm bad at math that I'm always broke.
[02:01.60]可能是由于我數(shù)學不好，所以老是一文不名。
[02:03.45]That's it-I'm going to manage my money better.
[02:05.28]就這樣--我要把錢財運用得高明一些。
[02:07.11]Being thrifty is not the same as being a miser.
[02:09.10]節(jié)儉和吝嗇是不同的。
[02:11.08]Isn't there some company that would pay me for doing nothing?
[02:12.98]有沒有不用做事卻付我薪水的公司呢？
[02:14.87]How come all I ever do is calculate people's salaries?
[02:16.76]為什么我總是在計算別人的薪水？
[02:18.66]I know exactly how much everyone gets because I'm in the accounting department.
[02:20.90]因為我是財務部，所以每一個人領多少，我清楚的很。
[02:23.15]I think we should all band together and speak up for better working conditions.
[02:25.31]我想我們大家應該團結起來，要求更好的工作條件。
[02:27.46]Your first bonus is nothing to get excited about.
[02:29.15]不值得因首次得獎金而激動。
[02:30.83]Working so hard for so little-it just isn't worth it.
[02:33.08]工作這么辛苦，卻領這么少錢－－實在不值得。
[02:35.32]I receive my pay envelope.
[02:36.43]我領取薪水袋。
[02:37.54]I open up my pay envelope.
[02:38.99]我打開薪水袋。
[02:40.44]I read the detailed statement of my pay.
[02:42.08]我看工資表。
[02:43.71]I go to the bank.
[02:44.72]我去銀行。
[02:45.72]I take out my cash card.
[02:47.03]我拿出我的提款卡。
[02:48.33]I withdraw some cash.
[02:49.44]我取一些現(xiàn)金
[02:50.55]I put the money in my wallet.
[02:51.85]我把錢放進皮夾里。
[02:53.14]I pay the rent.
[02:54.21]我付租金。
[02:55.28]I go and pay my tab at the bar.
[02:56.64]我去付酒吧的帳單。
[02:58.00]I treat someone to dinner.
[02:58.96]我請某人吃飯。
[02:59.93]I secretly stash away some money.
[03:01.25]我藏些私房錢。
[03:02.57]I pay the utility bills.
[03:03.90]我付公共設施帳單（費用）
[03:05.23]I've got it set up at the bank so that my routine bills are paid automatically.
[03:07.79]我在銀行辦手續(xù)，以使我的例行帳單自動撥付。
[03:10.35]I'll pay for it in lump sum with my bonus money.
[03:12.24]我用獎金一次全部付清。
[03:14.12]Two former college buddies converse in a bar:
[03:15.85]兩個以前大學伙伴在酒吧交談：
[03:17.59]Irene:What's the bonus like at your company?
[03:18.74]你公司的獎金如何？
[03:19.89]Oscar:Well,it's okay,I suppose.We get about the equivalent of six months salary.
[03:22.51]嗯，我想還可以。大相當6個月的薪水。
[03:25.14]Irene:Six months'salary?!Are you serious?That's incredible!
[03:27.69]6個月的薪水??？你是說真的嗎？真難以置信！
[03:30.23]Oscar:Maybe.But you'd be amazed at how little's left after the  credit companies have deducted their share from my account.
[03:33.39]或許是。但是信貸公司從我戶頭減掉它們的份兒后，所剩金額之少，你會驚訝的。
[03:36.56]Irene:Hey,I know what that's like.I did a lot of shopping on credit before I got my bonus.Now the payments really hurt.
[03:40.55]嘿，我曉得是什么樣子。我在收到獎金以前賒買了很多東西?，F(xiàn)在付起來真痛。
[03:44.55]Oscar:Well,you're lucky that you're still able to make your payments.I missed a credit payment last month.Now my bank account's overdrawn,and the company is threatening to take back my purchases.I definitely have to get my act together.
[03:50.97]嗯，你還能付款，算是幸運的。我上個月未來及付清一筆賒帳，現(xiàn)在我銀行戶頭已經(jīng)透支，公司威脅說要收回我買我的東西。我的確需要收斂一點。
[03:57.40]Irene:What did you buy,anyway?A new car?A new house?A membership to golf course?
[04:00.81]好家伙，你是買了什么？新車？新房子？高爾夫球場會員證？
[04:04.22]Oscar:Nope.Nothing as luxurious as any of those.Just a set of English video cassettes.
[04:07.47]不是，可不是那種豪華的東西。只是一套英語錄像帶。
[04:10.72]Irene:Language videos?I read an article about that racket.They're overpriced to begin with!
[04:14.21]英語錄像帶？我讀過有關那種騙人生意的報道。它們開始就把價格定很高。
[04:17.70]Listen,If I were you,I'd let them take back their cassettes-and spend my money on something more practical.
[04:21.19]喏，如果我是你的話，就讓他們取回錄像帶--而把錢花在更有用的東西上。
[04:24.67]Oscar:Can't.My English is in desperate need of some intensive brushing up.I've already flunked my company's exam.Twice,in fact.
[04:28.81]可不行。我的英文需要徹底的復習。公司的考試我已經(jīng)失敗了--確切地說是兩次。
[04:32.95]Itene:Who cares?It's just a test.You'll pass it-eventually.
[04:35.62]管它呢！那只不過是考試，你到最后總會及格的。
[04:38.28]Oscar:Maybe.But if I don't pass it this year,I'll really be in trouble.
[04:40.78]或許是。但是今年我如果沒辦法過關，可真該有問題了。
[04:43.27]Irene:What kind of trouble?
[04:44.04]什么問題？
[04:44.81]Oscar:My bonus.My boss says he'll cut it in half if I fail one more time.
[04:47.50]我的獎金。老板說如果我再不及格，就把我的獎金減掉一半。
