   I'm Only Kidding


  我只是在开玩笑
  Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young engineer fresh out of MIT, "What starting salary were you looking for?"
  一个刚从麻省理工学院毕业的年轻的工程师去一家公司应聘,面试进行到了最后,人力资源部的面试人员问他:“你期望的起薪是多少?”
  The engineer replied, "In the neighborhood of $150,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
  他说:“年薪15万左右吧,还要看公司的其他福利政策。”
  The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement 1 fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased 2 every 2 years?"
  面试官说:“那么,五周休假,两周带薪年假,医药费全包,退休金基金由公司出一半,每两年租借一辆公司的车给你,你觉得这些福利政策怎么样?”
  The young man sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
  年轻人坐直身子,说:“天哪!你不是在开玩笑吧?”
  The interviewer replied, "Well, yeah, but you started it."
  面试官答道:“我是在开玩笑,不过,这个玩笑是你起的头!”
