Hiring Help

Can you help me write a newspaper ad?

你能帮我写一则报纸广告吗？

Sure, what are you looking to buy or sell?

当然，你想买或卖什么？

Actually, I want to hire someone to help me around the house.

其实，我想雇个人帮我打理家务。

Oh, you want to get a maid?

哦，你想找个女佣？

Well, I think it’s better if you call her a cleaning lady or domestic help.

嗯，我觉得最好称她为清洁工或家政帮手。

Ok, so what do you want her to do?

好的，那你想让她做什么？

Well, let’s see. I want her to come in three times a week for a couple of hours to clean the kitchen, bathroom and maybe do some cooking.

嗯，让我想想。我想让她每周来三次，每次几个小时，打扫厨房、卫生间，也许再做些饭。

Got it. And how much do you offer per month?

明白了。那你每月给多少钱？

I would pay her hourly, I don’t know what the going rate is though.

我打算按小时付钱，不过我不知道市价是多少。

I know for sure it’s more than minimum wage but maybe you should just negotiate with the person that answers the ad.

我肯定比最低工资高，但也许你应该直接和应征的人商量。

Great! Thanks for your help!

太好了！谢谢你的帮助！
