求职的在提到希望得到的待遇时，可用类似的句子：
A：I hesitate to state a definite salary, but, as long as you have requested me to , I should consider 6,500 a month satisfactory. 我对待遇总是无法定下确切数目，但既然您要我说明，我认为月薪六千五百元就满意了。
B： Although it is difficult for me to say what compensation I should deserve, I should considerxxxxxxa month a fair initial salary. 虽然我很难说待遇应该是多少，我认为每月xxxxxx起薪合适。
C：I feel it is presumptuous of me to state what my salary should be. My first consideration is to satisfy you completely. However, while I am serving my apprenticeship, I should considerxxxxxa month satisfactory compensation. 我不敢冒昧提出起薪是多少。最初我仅想如何做好工作，使您满意。在学徒(试用)期间，月薪xxxxx即可。
