Asking for a Raise | 要求加薪

English Original

At the radio station where I worked, the manager called me into his office to preview a new sound-effects package we were considering purchasing. He closed the door so we wouldn't bother people in the outer office.

After listening to a few routine sound effects, we started playing around with low moans, maniacal screams, hysterical laughter, pleading and gunshots. When I finally opened the door and passed the manager's secretary, she looked up and inquired, "Asking for a raise again?"


中文翻译

我在一家电台工作。经理把我叫进他的办公室,让我预试一下我们准备购买的一套新的音响效果设备。他关上门,以免打扰外面办公室的人。

听了几个常规的音响效果后,我们开始试听低声的呻吟、疯狂的尖叫、歇斯底里的大笑、哀求声和枪声。最后我开门出去,从经理秘书旁边经过时,她抬起头问道:“又要求加薪了?”
