How to communicate professionally in English at work?

Hi Mike, do you have a few minutes? There is something I would like to discuss with you privately.

嗨 Mike，你有几分钟时间吗？有件事我想私下跟你聊聊。

💡 在美国，谈加薪不需要拐弯抹角，但最好先私下约时间，不要在公开场合或其他同事面前提。

Well, I have been with the company for two years now, and I would like to talk about my compensation. I feel my contributions have grown significantly since I started.

嗯，我加入公司已经两年了，我想谈谈我的薪资。我觉得我的贡献比入职时已经显著增长了。

When I started, I was handling three accounts. Now I manage eight, including two of our largest clients. I also led the product launch last quarter that brought in 200K in new revenue.

我入职时负责三个客户。现在我管理八个，包括我们最大的两个客户。我还主导了上季度的产品发布，带来了 20 万美元的新收入。

I appreciate that, Mike. I was honestly hoping for something closer to 10 percent, given that my responsibilities have essentially doubled.

谢谢，Mike。说实话，考虑到我的职责基本翻了一倍，我希望能接近 10%。

💡 在美国谈薪资时，提出比你期望的稍高一点的数字是正常的谈判策略。说 'I was hoping for' 比 'I want' 更委婉。

That sounds reasonable. Could we put the six-month review in writing so it is on the record? I just want to make sure we both have a clear understanding.

这听起来合理。我们能不能把六个月评估的事写下来，留个记录？我只是想确保双方都有明确的共识。

Thank you, Mike. I really appreciate your support, and I am looking forward to continuing to grow with the team.

谢谢 Mike。非常感谢你的支持，我期待继续和团队一起成长。
