面试就是面试，谈钱不伤感情。谈薪水这件事无论对于职场菜鸟还是老油条都不是一件容易的事。

当然，如果你足够优秀，到了人家来"请"你的地步，那个时候"谈判"的天平就几乎全部倾向于你了。

那么，这个面试必备问题的英文回答到底怎么说才合适？本文选取了一些相对比较委婉恰当的说法，帮助大家在实际面试中有备无患，有条不紊。

注意例句中对于各类薪资福利的说法关于salary一词的来历，可参见本文文末。

有关salary一词的来历

在古时候，盐不是那么容易得到的东西（而且那时候用盐调味也是一种超前的生活方式），罗马士兵会领到一笔钱（salarium）专门用来买盐。

慢慢的，salarium（源于拉丁语salarius，指"盐的"）一词逐渐用来指代发给士兵的军饷以及发给罗马帝国所有官员的钱资，直至后来，用来统指"薪水、薪资"。
