★Jacob tells Katharine they'd like to give her more responsibility.
雅各告知凱薩琳他們要讓她負責更多職務。
J: I'm sure you know that we're very pleased with the work you've done as a research assistant here. We've noticed how you take initiative and really think outside the box in order to get things done.
相信妳也清楚，我們對妳擔任研究助理任內的表現感到非常滿意。我們也注意到妳為了達成目標，採取主動積極的態度並跳脫框架去思考。
K: Thank you.
謝謝你。
J: Well, thank you. The point of this is that due to our recent growth and the several new projects we're working on, we need a new analyst, and we'd like you to take on this new role. It would mean more responsibility in terms of assisting project managers and learning to do more complex analyses—and, of course, it would also mean an increase in your salary. Do you think you would be interested in taking on this new role?
我們才要謝謝妳。重點是由於最近的成長和我們在做的幾個新專案，我們需要一名新的分析師，希望妳能接下這個職位。這也表示會有更多的責任，包括協助專案經理、學習做更加複雜的分析，當然這也代表會幫妳加薪。妳有意要接下這個新職務嗎？
K: Absolutely! Thank you very much.
當然沒問題！非常謝謝你。
J: That's great news. I'll send you a specific job description and salary range so you can understand a little more about what your different duties would be. Can you give me your official answer by the end of the week?
這真是個好消息。我會將具體的職務說明以及薪資範圍寄給妳，妳可以稍微了解職務的不同之處。這週結束前可以給我正式的答覆嗎？
K: Of course. Thank you for this opportunity.
沒問題。謝謝你給我這個機會。
