经典对话：

A: Have you finished going through the contract?

你看完合同了吗？

go through表示“浏览”

B: Yes, but I have a few questions for you.

看完了，不过我有几个问题要问你。

A: Okay, ask anyway.

好，你问。

B: First, I'd like to know if you offer employees sick leave?

首先，我想知道你们这里有没有为员工提供病假？

A: Employees can take up to 10 days of sick leave per year. However, in order to get paid, you will have to bring in a note from the doctors.

有，员工每年有十天病假。不过如果不想扣工资的话，最好找医生开假条。

B: Even if I'm only sick for one day?

即使我只生病一天也要开吗？

A: That's correct.

没错。

B: That's pretty strict, if you ask me. 

如果你问我意见的话，我觉得这条规定太严苛了。

A: Well, we've had to add that to the contract because we found that many of our employees were taking almost one day a month, even though they weren't sick. 

嗯，我们必须要把这条写进合同。因为以前我们这儿有很多员工即使没有生病，也几乎每月都要修一次病假。

B: I see. I guess that makes sense.

我懂了，你们这样做确实有道理。

make sense表示“有道理；讲得通”

A: Do you have any other questions?

你还有其他问题吗？

B:Yes. Maternity leave is mentioned in the contract, but there's nothing in the contract about paternity leave. Do you offer anything to fathers?

有，合同里涉及了产假，可是没有提到父亲假，公司有没有为新父亲们提供假期？

be mentioned in...表示“有在...被涉及/提到”

A: We do actually. We can add that as an amendment to your contract.

有的。我们可以把这一条作为补充条款写进你的合同。

amendment表示“修正案；修改”

B: How many days of paternity leave do you offer?

你们提供多少天的父亲假期？

A: Men are allowed to take ten days of paternity leave for their first child.

男性员工有十天假期。

be allowed to...表示“被允许...”比如“你被允许吃完饭抽根烟”翻译为“You are allowed to smoke after the meal”。那“不被允许做”就是“be not allowed to”

B: Why are women allowed so much more time for maternity leave?

为什么女性的产假比这要多的多呢？

A: Well, women are the ones giving birth. I think it's fair to give them more time, don't you?

女性要经历生产过程，我觉得给她们更多时间休息很合理，你不觉得吗？

B: I guess so. I don't have any other questions. Should I sign here then?

合理，我没有其他问题了，是在这儿签字吗？

A: Yes, please. 

是的，请签吧。
