wage的第三人称单数和复数
When used as a noun, pay is a general word which you can use to refer to the money you get from your employer for doing your job. Manual workers are paid wages, or a wage. The plural is more common than the singular, especially when you are talking about the actual cash that someone receives. Every week he handed all his wages in cash to his wife. Wages are usually paid, and quoted, as an hourly or a weekly sum. ...a starting wage of five dollars an hour. Professional people and office workers receive a salary, which is paid monthly. However, when talking about someone's salary, you usually give the annual figure. I'm paid a salary of £15,000 a year. Your income consists of all the money you receive from all sources, including your pay.
pay 用作名词时,泛指从雇主处得到的工资或薪水。体力劳动者的工资通常用 wages 或 a wage表示,其中复数形式更为常见,尤其是表示实际拿到的现金时。例如,Every week he handed all his wages in cash to his wife (每周他都将自己领到的工资全部交给妻子)。wages 通常按小时或按周支付或计算:a starting wage of five dollars an hour (每小时5美元的起薪)。专业人士以及办公室职员的工资用 salary 表示,通常按月支付。但是在谈论某人的薪水时,通常用年薪来表示:I'm paid a salary of £ 15, 000 a year (我年薪为15, 000英镑)。 income 表示从各个来源获得的总收入,包括工资。
