請(qǐng)坐。我知道我們的人事部經(jīng)理已經(jīng)告訴了你關(guān)于勞動(dòng)合同的內(nèi)容，但我還想在我們簽約之前把主要條件再談一下。首先你的工資是月付，在服務(wù)一年后，有一個(gè)月的帶薪假期。沒(méi)有試用期。
Derrick: That's what I understand.
這我清楚。

你有什么問(wèn)題嗎？

for me?
只有一個(gè)問(wèn)題。我注意到了有關(guān)彈性工作時(shí)間的規(guī)定，對(duì)我也適用嗎？
Joe: Yes it is, but you'll have to discuss the details with your manager.
是的，但你必須與你的經(jīng)理談。
Derrick: That's acceptable.
這可以接受。
