职场美语

I heard that you've got a new job.What's the benefits package like?
听说你找了份新工作，福利待遇怎么样？
They're really good.
挺不错的。

Do you have any questions about your job?

精讲部分

诱人的工资并不是一个工作唯一吸引人的地方，其他的福利待遇（benefits/benegits package）有时候可能更为重要。工作福利一般包括奖金（bounus）,健康保险（health insurance）,带薪假期（paid vacation days）,养老退休金（pension plan）等，所以下次协商酬劳时候不要忘了问:What's the benefits package like? 你们有什么福利待遇？
