M: A bunch of us in the office are planning a retiring party for Bob, he's been with the office for ages, so everyone was really suprised to hear he took

early retirement.

F: Bob is retiring, 's news to me, I had no idea Bob was that old, retirement's still sixty-five, right?

M: Retirement age is still five, but I think more and more people are retiring earlier, I think Bob's in upper fifties already, he just looks pretty young.

F: Wow...I thought he was early forty stops, why would he want to retire so soon?

M: Well, I think you prepare it well and capture good savings, retiring early can give you a lot more time for travel and other activities, you should get

out and enjoy the life you still can't, don't you think?

F: I guess if you have a Heathy Fore One Key Plan, why not retire a few years early,so what plans does Bob have for his new life after retirement, he's

been bringing his traveling brochures to the office and talking about all these exhouted places like Fiji and Hawaii, I have a hunch he'll take a second

honey moon with his wife to some sunny paradise.

下周四你有空吗?
有空啊.周四有什么事情吗?
我们办公室的这些人计划为鲍勃开个退休晚会. 他在公司干了那么多年,所以大家听说他提前退休真的很吃惊.
鲍勃要退休吗? 哇,这可是个新闻...我根本不知道他有那么大年纪.还是65岁退休,对吧?
退休年龄还是65岁,但我认为越来越多的人提前退休.我想鲍勃已经超过55岁了,他只是看着年轻.
哇,我一直以为他最多40出头.他为什么那么早退休?
唉,我想如果你已经做好准备而且有一小笔的存款,提前退休可以使你有更充裕的时间去旅行或者干其他事情.你应该在自己精力还旺盛的时候就去退休享受生活,你不觉得吗?
我想如果你加入了健康401K计划的话,那为什么不提早几年退休呢?那鲍勃对他退休后的新生活有什么打算?
他把他的旅游手册带到了办公室,还谈到了所有那些异国情调的地方,如斐济和夏威夷...我有个预感他要和他妻子去一些阳光明媚的人间乐园去度第二次蜜月.

F: How are the benefits for your new job?

M: it's the standard package, dental and health, but the best thing is our retirement plan, our compamy has a matching contribution program, which means my monthly deposit into my Fore One Key Plan, it match by the company, dollar to dollar.

F: Really? That's quite a substantialist systems from your company for your future planing, after forty or so years of work force, you'll have a hefty sum left over for your retirement.

M: Yeah, I'll have a sweet little estate waiting for me, my Fore One Key is only my saving plan, my wife and I also got a stock portfolio that is earmarked for our retirement.

F: You certainly are well prepared, your golden years will be quite golden if the stock market keeps doing well,

M: We hope to have a little money later await, that way, we can really enjoy our retirement, maybe I might even be able to take in early retirement,

we might do a little of traveling if we want to, and having for bid, if we do have some health problem, at least we're financial secured to be able to pay for medical treatment.

你那份新工作待遇怎么样?
都是标准的福利包,包括牙齿和健康保险,不过最好的是退休计划.我们公司有个配套的出资计划,就是说我们每月投给401K养老计划多少钱,公司就给我再交相应的一份,1美元对一美元.
真的吗?那你们公司得拿出一大笔钱来资助你们的未来计划.大约工作30年后,你就会有一大笔退休金.
是的,我将有数目不小的养老金等着我呢.不过,我的401K计划并不是我唯一的存款计划.我和我妻子还为我们的退休生活买了股票有价证券.
你们的确是准备得很周全!如果股票市场持续走好的话,你们的退休生活会更加幸福.
我们希望存下一点儿钱,那样我们退休后就能真正地享受生活,也许我还能提前退休,如果我们愿意的话还可以出去旅游,而且,如果健康出了问题(但愿不会如此),至少我们经济上有保证,能够支付医疗费.
