面試就是面試，談錢不傷感情。談薪水這件事無論對於職場菜鳥還是老油條都不是一件容易的事。
當然，如果你足夠優秀，到了人家來"請"你的地步，那個時候"談判"的天平就幾乎全部傾向於你了。
那麼，這個面試必備問題的英文回答到底怎麼說才合適?本文選取了一些相對比較委婉恰當的說法，幫助大家在實際面試中有備無患，有條不紊。
注意例句中對於各類薪資福利的說法關於salary一詞的來歷，可參見本文文末。
關於薪資，回答可以是這樣的

有關salary一詞的來歷
在古時候，鹽不是那麼容易得到的東西(而且那時候用鹽調味也是一種超前的生活方式)，羅馬士兵會領到一筆錢(salarium)專門用來買鹽。
慢慢的，salarium(源於拉丁語salarius，指"鹽的")一詞逐漸用來指代發給士兵的軍餉以及發給羅馬帝國所有官員的錢資，直至後來，用來統指"薪水、薪資"。
