玛丽：我想了解贵公司的薪资情况。
查尔斯：那么，你一个月想要多少报酬？
玛丽：我希望转正之后的起薪是2,000美元。
查尔斯：我们付给你的起薪会比你期望的还要多。
误区解读
salary是名词，表示“薪水”。starting salary是习惯用法，表示“起薪”。另外，basic salary表示“基本薪金”, monthly salary表示“月薪”, annual salary表示“年薪”。

six months表示“6个月”，为名词词组。而six-month表示“6个月的”，可用作形容词。

比尔：你还有什么问题吗？
杰克：您能给我说说公司的福利待遇吗？
比尔：好的。在转正之后，公司会为员工缴纳保险。
误区解读
及物动词tell表示“（用言语或文字）告知，告诉，讲述某事”，后面可以接双宾语结构，即tell sb sth=tell sth (to sb)。句中的介词in是错误用法。
学有所用
_____your company have any bonuses?
A. Does B. Do C. Is D. Are
你们公司有奖金吗？
________________________________________________________________________________
答案：A
解析： 该句是一般疑问句，句中又有动词原形have，所以句首应该用助动词。而your company是第三人称单数形式，所以Does是正确答案。
温馨提示
(1) any可以修饰可数名词，也可以修饰不可数名词。
(2) bonus表示“额外津贴，奖金，红利”，是可数名词，其复数形式为bonuses。

误区解读
how many表示“多少”，后面接可数名词的复数形式，对其数量进行提问；而how much也表示“多少”，但是后面接不可数名词。句中的salary是不可数名词，故用how much。
