Today I'm gonna use simple English words to tell you how to become a PhD student in Germany and how to fund yourself.
今天我想用简单的英语词汇教你如何成为德国的博士生以及如何为你自己解决经费问题。
Generally, there are two ways to become a PhD student in Germany.
总的来说，有两种方法可以成为德国的博士生。
One way is that you can apply for CSC funding from the Chinese government.
第一种方式是你申请中国政府提供的CSC奖学金。
That funding will provide you with 1340 euros each month for 4 years.
CSC奖学金可以为你提供4年，每月约1340欧元的资助。
After you apply for this funding you can use this funding to contact some supervisors in Germany and then you two will find a connection and you will become his or her PhD student.
在你获得CSC资助后，你可以利用这个资助和一些大学或者研究所的德国导师联系，和导师商量好后，你就可以成为Ta的博士生。（当然你也可以先和导师取得联系，一般情况下导师会大力协助你申请CSC奖学金的）
Another way is more common way for an international student is that you will have a contract with a university or an institute in Germany and the institute or university will provide you with a facial salary with German standards.
另外一种方式对于国际生来说更为常见，就是你直接和德国的大学或者研究所（导师）联系。联系好后，德国的大学或者研究所会根据德国的标准给你提供一个体面的薪水。（德国的博士算一份工作）
The full salary for each month is over 4000 euros. But the tax in Germany is very heavy, so they usually charge more than 40% of your salary and sometimes some professors can't provide full funding for you.
每月的薪水我感觉能超过4000欧元。但德国的税非常高，很多教授一般不能够给你100%提供工资。一般情况下，你只能获得超过40%的工资。
So you can only receive maybe 50% or 65% or 75% of your salary after taxs, it was not so high.
所以，你通常只可以获得50%或65%或75%的税后工资，这并不是特别高。
The average salary for each month is about 1800 euros.
每月的平均工资大概是1800欧元。
So that are two ways to become a PhD student in Germany.
所以，这两种方式都可以成为德国的博士生。
You don't need to worry about the money, and you don't need to worry about your customer's living because these money is enough for you to live in Germany.
你不用担心钱的问题，你也不用担心生活费的问题，因为你获得的钱足够你在德国生活。
