邁克：嗨，我是邁克，來自新加坡。

MJ: And this is MJ from Korea.

MJ：我是MJ，來自韓國。

Mike: OK, MJ, we are gonna talk about wages. Have you ever worked for minimum wage?

邁克：好，MJ，我們來談?wù)劰べY。你有做過領(lǐng)最低工資的工作嗎?

MJ: Actually I haven't really worked, so I didn't earn any money. So, I don't know the definition of the minimum wage and also I didn't get the minimum wage.

MJ：實(shí)際上我沒有真正工作過，所以我沒有掙過錢。我不知道最低工資的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，我也沒拿過最低工資。

Mike: So you don't work, you don't get minimum wage.

邁克：所以，你沒有工作，沒領(lǐng)過最低工資。

MJ: How about you?

MJ：你呢?

Mike: Let's see...Well, I think in high school, I actually worked for a cleaning company, and I was assigned to a shopping mall as a toilet cleaner.

邁克：我想一下，我上高中時(shí)在一家清潔公司工作，我被派去一家購物中心打掃廁所。

MJ: Toilet cleaner?!

MJ：潔廁員?

Mike: Yeah, I worked as a cleaning...or or, let's call it floor supervisor. I prefer that word.

邁克：對(duì)，我負(fù)責(zé)打掃……或者我們稱之為樓層主管。我更喜歡這個(gè)說法。

MJ: OK.

MJ：好。

Mike: And, so I'm not sure if that was minimum wage, but I thought I...I thought the pay was pretty good. I got about six dollars or seven dollars per hour. Six dollars per hour. But remember this was way back like...probably a decade ago. So I thought it was a pretty good pay.

邁克：我不確定那個(gè)工作拿的是否是最低工資，不過當(dāng)時(shí)我認(rèn)為薪水還不錯(cuò)。我每小時(shí)的薪資是6美元或7美元。6美元1小時(shí)。但是你要知道這是很久以前的事情，大概是10年以前。所以我認(rèn)為那份工作的薪水很不錯(cuò)。

MJ: But it could be minimum wage, because it was a hard work. Compare to a hard work and that money, it could be.

MJ：不過那可能是最低工資，因?yàn)槟鞘切量嗟墓ぷ?。就辛勤的工作來說，那很可能是最低工資。

Mike: Well, you are right. I could've been paid...

邁克：你說得對(duì)。我可能拿的是最低工資。
