Case One
Interviewer: I'd like to know the salary you expect.
我想知道一下，你期望的薪水是多少？
Applicant1: My salary requirement may be too high, and I hope my primary will not be lower than RMB 4,000. First, I think I am an excellent graduate. Though there will be a transition period, I will soon make profits for the company. What's more, I think if a company is willing to pay a high salary for a post, it also indicates its importance. And only in this situation can I be convinced that I can get more learning opportunities and better prospects2.
我的薪资需要可能偏高，我期望我的起薪高于4000元。第一我觉得自己是一名出色的大学毕业生，虽然刚到企业需要一段过渡期，但非常快我就能为企业创造价值。而且，我也觉得,一个企业假如可以开出较高的薪水，可以证明企业对这个职位的看重度。在这种状况下，我才有信心能从企业获得更多的学习机会和更好的进步机会。
Case Two
Interviewer: I'd like to know your salary expectations.
我想知道一下，你期望的薪水是多少？
Applicant: Since I am a recent graduate , there will be a transition period after I enter the company. So at the beginning, the profits I make for the company will be limited and I don't have specific requirements. But man has to survive. So I hope the salary will be enough to help me to be economically independent from my parents.
由于我是一个刚毕业的大学生，进入企业或有一段时间的适应期，刚开始为企业创造的价值有限，所以我对薪金没特定的需要。但人一直要存活的，所以，我期望我的薪金可以让我独立，在经济上不再依靠爸爸妈妈。
