参考回答

Well,as far as I can see, banking and commercial real estate jobs would probably offer the highest salary in my country. As for the banking sector, employees should be clever at data analysis. And there is no doubt that most jobs related to banking is well paid.That's why lots of people with a keen financial brain expect to find a job in this domain.Besides, housing is a basic living condition. Everyone has to rent or buy a property.In recent years, China's real estate market has grown rapidly, so you would also get a pretty good salary if you work in the real estate industry.

嗯，在我看来，从事银行业和商业房地产在我国可能是工资最高的工作。关于银行业，从业人员必须擅长数据分析。而且毫无疑问的是，大多数与银行业有关联的工作薪水都很高。这也是为什么很多有经济头脑的人想在这一行业找一份工作。此外，房屋是基本的生活条件，每个人都得租房或买房。近年来，中国的房地产市场发展迅速，所以如果你从事房地产行业，你也会拥有一笔不错的薪水。

Are there any other jobs that you think should have high salaries? Why do you think that?

参考回答

I think sanitation workers and construction workers should get high salaries. As for sanitation workers, they work from dawn to night in spite of the dog days of summer or the dead of winter. They have to face an awesome amount of garbage everyday.And their jobs, to some extent, are perilous. Sometimes they have to clean up the rubbish littered by tourists on a cliff under harsh weather, But the truth is that they are poorly paid.Likewise, construction workers toil under harsh condition. These two types of jobs are of high labor intensity and high risk, so they should get high salaries as a compensation.

我认为环卫工人和建筑工人应该拿高薪酬。就环卫工人而言，无论严寒酷暑，他们起早贪黑工作。每天面对着数量惊人的垃圾。而且他们的工作，在某种程度上来说，也很危险。有时他们得在恶劣的天气下，清理游客遗留在峭壁上的垃圾。然而事实上他们的报酬却很低。同样地，建筑工人也在糟糕的条件下辛苦工作。这两种工作劳动强度大，风险高，毫无疑问，作为补偿，他们应该拿高薪酬。

Some people say it would be better for society if everyone got the same salary.What do you think about that? Why?

翻译：有些人认为，如果大家的薪水一样，更有利于社会的发展。你的看法是什么？为什么？

参考回答

I don't think it would be better for society. People are engaged in different industries and make different contributions to the society. If each individual got the same salary,it would be unfair to those who make greater contributions, even leading them to lose their motivation to make progress. By the same token, people would tend to reap the profits, deeming it unnecessary to work hard. So if things went on like this, the society would eventually reach a plateau.

我认为不会有利于社会的发展。人们从事于不同的行业，对社会的贡献不同。如果每个人都拿一样的工资，这对那些有更大贡献人来说并不公平，甚至使他们失去继续上进的动力。同样地，人们将会倾向于坐享其成，认为没有必要努力工作。长此以往，社会最终将停滞不前。

I totally agree with this point of view. Now, we are still facing many unfair problems in fileds such as income distribution. People engaged in the promising industries, such as banking and real estate, can get higher salaries. In contrast, people working in labor-

intensive industries like construction and mining industries are poorly paid. So the gap between the rich and poor is becoming wider. But if each individual got the same salary,the income gap would disappear, which is potentially favorable to social development.

我同意这一说法。如今，我们仍然面临着像收入分配不公等许多不公平的现象。从事银行和房地产等前景广阔行业的人们可以拿到更高的薪酬。相比之下，从事建筑业和采矿业等劳动密集行业的劳动者却拿着微薄的收入。所以贫富差距变得越来越大。但是，如果人人都拿一样的工资，那么收入差距将会消失，可能有利于社会的发展。
