实用讲解：
1 PAYS $15 PER HOUR PLUS PERFORMANCE/RESULTS-BASED BONUS!
每小时15美元，还有绩效工资！
讲解：“plus”意思是“加上”，表示对后面所加事物或人物的强调，特别是在广告中，“plus”后面的都是要刻意强调来吸引人的，例如“You will have chance to try all the popular tastes of our ice-cream, plus 3 special ones. 你将有机会尝试我们所有畅销的冰淇淋的口味，还有三种特殊口味。”
2 PAYS BY THE HOUR, $25 FOR EACH 3 HOUR TIME BLOCK YOU SIGN UP FOR.
按小时付钱，三个小时（你所申请的）一次25美元。
讲解：“by”意思是“根据”，表示计费所依据的方式，“by”后面应该是“the+单数名词”例如“by piece”意思是“计件”，“by the week”意思是“按周”，“Are you paid by piece or by the hour? 你们是按小时付钱还是计件付钱？”
“3 hour block”表示是每次工作要三个小时，“block”表示三个小时整体作为一个单位，例如“The whole case is divided into 3 blocks. 整个任务被被分为3个部分。”
3 广告用语讲求言简意赅，所以在广告中很少看到完成的句子，大多都是关键词的组合，很大一部分都是动词短语和名词短语，例如“WRITE PRESS RELEASES, ARTICLES AND OTHER WRITING ASSIGNMENTS…”和“GOOD COMMUNICATION…”
