　　Sometimes employers don’t want you to talk about how much money you make with your coworkers because they know they aren’t giving you equal pay.

　　有时候雇主不想让你和同事谈论你赚了多少钱，因为他们知道他们没有给你同等的报酬。

　　Take home pay

　　实得工资

　　The “opposite” of your gross pay is your take home pay. This is the money that you get to actually use, after you have paid your taxes. In many countries, the taxes that you have to pay depends heavily on the method with which you earned that money.

　　你的工资总额的“反面”是你的实得工资。这是你交完税后实际使用的钱。在许多国家，你必须缴纳的税款在很大程度上取决于你用什么方法挣到这些钱。

　　So, just because you and your closest friend both earned $100 doesn’t mean that the same amount of money will end up in your bank accounts. However, take home pay is a number that is much more useful in getting an idea of how much money a person earns.

　　所以，仅仅因为你和你最亲密的朋友都挣了100美元，并不意味着同样的钱最终会进入你的银行账户。然而，实得工资是一个数字，在了解一个人挣多少钱方面更有用。

　　In countries where the gross pay and the take home pay are crazy different, you can infer that the tax rate is probably equally high.

　　在工资总额和实际工资相差悬殊的国家，你可以推断税率可能同样高。

　　Pay well

　　待遇好

　　If you are applying for a new job, you should check whether it pays well or not as part of your decision! A company or employer that pays well is one that gives you a good salary, or a good amount of money for the work that you are doing for them.

　　如果你正在申请一份新工作，你应该检查它的报酬是否好，作为你决定的一部分!薪水优厚的公司或雇主，就是给你一份好薪水，或是给你一大笔钱做你为他们做的工作的公司或雇主。

　　I heard that Jason Hicks got that new job! I’ve heard that company he’s now working for pays really well.

　　我听说杰森·希克斯得到了那份新工作!我听说他现在供职的那家公司薪水很高。

　　The common understanding is that regardless of what you do, you can be paid well if you become an expert at a specific thing.

　　大家的共识是，无论你做什么，如果你成为某一特定领域的专家，你都可以得到丰厚的报酬。

　　Pay handsomely

　　支付丰厚

　　From the literal side of this phrase, to pay handsomely means the same thing as to pay well. It means that you are compensated fairly (and often more than the average) for whatever it is that you are providing.

　　从字面上讲，支付得好和支付得好是一回事。这意味着无论你提供什么，你都能得到公平的补偿(而且往往比平均水平还高)。

　　My brother accidentally sold you that necklace, but it was my grandmother’s and has special meaning to me so I am willing to pay handsomely to get it back!

　　我哥哥不小心把那条项链卖给了你，但它是我祖母的，对我有特殊的意义，所以我愿意花很多钱把它买回来!

　　Just because you make unique pieces of art every day doesn’t mean that someone is always willing to pay handsomely for one of them.

　　仅仅因为你每天都制作独特的艺术品并不意味着总有人愿意为其中一件付出高昂的代价。
