A(新员工 · New hire): 你好,我第一张工资单比 Offer 信少了一截 — 为什么? "Hi, my first paycheck is smaller than the offer letter — why?"
B(HR): Offer 上是毛工资,工资单是净工资。中间扣了税和福利。 "The offer is gross pay; your check is net. Taxes and benefits come out."
A: 大概扣了多少? "About how much is taken out?"
B: 一般 20–25%。社安、医疗、州税、SDI、还有您的医保。 "Usually 20–25% — Social Security, Medicare, state tax, SDI, and your health plan."
练习 Practice: 两人一组,先用中文读一遍,再用英文读一遍。换角色再来。 Pair up, read it once in Chinese and once in English, then switch roles.
