Today we answer a question from a listener who wants to become a Spanish professor.Orlando C(Carvajal) asks how much professors earn in the United States.

今天我们来回答一位想要成为西班牙语教授的听众的问题.Orlando Carvajai问起美国的教授们能赚多少钱.

We looked in the ***(almanac) published by *** (chronicle) of  Higher Education.It shows that the average salary for full professors last year was ninty-nine thousand dollars. For associate professors it was seventy thousand,and for assistant professors it was fifty-nine thousand dollars.Private ,independant schools pay more than public colleges and universities.

我们查阅了高等教育编年会出版的年鉴.表明上一年度全职教授的平均薪水是9万9千美元.副教授的是7万美元,助理教授的是5万5千美元.私人的,独立的学校比公立的学院和大学支付的工资要高.

But how do professors compare with other professions? For that we turn to the latest numbers from bureau of labors ***(statistics).

但是教授们的工资又如何来与其他行业相比呢?我们查阅了来字劳动统计局的最新数据.

Assistant professors earned about the same last year as workers in business and financial operations.But they earned about ten thousand dollars less than computer programmers, for example.The highest paying group of jobs in the United States is in management.The average wage last year was ninty-two thousand dollars,next came lawyers and other legal workers at eighty-five thousand.

上一年度,副教授与商业和金融行业的工作人员薪资水平相当.但是比起计算机程序员,他们要少赚一万美元.在美国,具有最高支付水平的工作是在管理类.上一年度的平均工资是9万2千美元,接下来的是律师和其他法律工作者,8万5千美元

Orlando also asks about benifits , things like health insurance and retirement plans.Benifits differ from school to school just as salaries do.
Orlando 还问到关于福利方面的问题,比如健康保险和退休计划.正如工资水平一样,福利也由于学校的不同而有所差异.
