★Jacob is explaining company benefits to a prospective research assistant, Thomas.
雅各正在跟未來的研究助理湯瑪斯解釋公司福利。
J: We think our benefits package is pretty competitive. We offer a cafeteria plan of benefits, so you can choose the ones that are most important to you. All employee benefits, except for stock options and vacation time, begin immediately.
我認為我們提供的公司福利相當具有競爭力。我們提供有彈性的福利計畫，所以你可以選擇對你來說最重要的福利。除了股票選擇權跟年假之外，所有的員工福利都立即生效。
T: That sounds great. What is your vacation policy?
聽起來很不錯的樣子。那公司放假的規定呢？
J: You are eligible for vacation days after six months; then, you start accruing vacation days at the rate of two per month. Any days that you don't use in one year can be rolled over to the next. After two years with the company, you get three days per month. And, of course, even though you don't get vacation days during the first six months, you can take sick leave.
六個月之後你便享有年假，並且每個月可累積兩天的假期，一年內沒放完的假期可以累積到明年。在公司做滿兩年後，一個月變成有三天假期。當然，即便你在前六個月沒有年假，你還是能請病假。
T: Fair enough. And I remember from the manual that you have a retirement plan and an employer matching program. I'm very happy about that.
相當合理。我記得在手冊上有看到退休計畫與雇主提撥方案，對此我感到很滿意。
J: Yes, I think it's a pretty good deal. I'm not sure what the cap is on employer contributions, but I can look that information up for you.
沒錯，我認為這非常的划算。不過我不清楚員工提撥的上限，我能替你查看那項資訊。
T: Terrific.
太好了。
J: In addition to that, I think we've got a very open and welcoming corporate culture. We really do encourage innovative thinking, and we do our best to promote people from within, so this is a good place to start out.
除此之外，我們公司的文化非常開放而寬容。我們相當鼓勵創新的思考，盡其所能提拔公司內的員工，這裡是個大展身手的好地方。
