What are you expecting to make in terms of salary?

薪水方面你想要多少？

“I am interested in finding a job that is a good fit for me. I’m sure whatever salary you’re paying is consistent with the rest of the market.” In other words, I respect myself and I want to think I can respect this company.

“我感兴趣的是找到一份适合我的工作。我敢肯定你们的薪水一定和市面上其他公司基本一致。”换句话说，我很尊重自己，并且我认为我也可以尊重这家公司。

I need to know what salary you want in order to make you an offer. Can you tell me a range?

我想知道如果你得到这份工作你想要的薪水是多少。你能告诉我一个大体范围吗？

“I’d appreciate it if you could make me an offer based on whatever you have budgeted for this position and we can go from there.” This is a pretty direct response, so using words like “appreciate” focuses on drawing out the interviewer’s better qualities instead of her tougher side.

“如果我得到这份工作无论你提供的薪水是多少我都很感激，并且我们可以从那个水平开始。”这是十分直接的反应，因此用“感激”这样的词可以引出面试官更温和亲切的一面而非顽固的一面。

Why don’t you want to give your salary requirements?

你为什么不告诉我你想要多少薪水呢？

“I think you have a good idea of what this position is worth to your company, and that’s important information for me to know.” Enough dancing–this is one last attempt to force you to give the number first. Hold your line here and you win.

“我认为你知道对公司而言这个职位值多少钱，对我而言知道这点是很重要的信息。”过招够多了——这是最后一次迫使你先说出薪水数字。坚持底线，你就赢了。
