Pay、wage、salary、income和earnings用法解析

1、 pay 用作名詞時,泛指從僱主處得到的工資或薪水。pay在這組詞中含義最廣。

The job offers good rates of pay.這工作報酬高。

...their complaints about their pay and conditions.

他們對薪水和工作條件的不滿

Her job is hard work, but the pay is good.

她工作雖辛苦,但薪水不低。

2、體力勞動者的工資(通常指按周領的工資)通常用 wages 或 a wage表示,其中複數形式更為常見,尤其是表示實際拿到的現金時。

例如,Every week he handed all his wages in cash to his wife (每週他都將自己領到的工資全部交給妻子)。

wages 通常按小時或按周支付或計算:a starting wage of five dollars an hour (每小時5美元的起薪)。

wages of £200 a week

一星期200英鎊的工資

a weekly wage of £200

週薪200英鎊

Wages are paid on Fridays.

每星期五發工資。

In addition to my weekly wage, I got a lot of tips.

除了每週的薪水外,我還能得到不少小費。

3、專業人士以及辦公室職員的工資用 salary(通常指按月發放的薪水、薪金) 表示,通常按月支付。但是在談論某人的薪水時,通常用年薪來表示:

I'm paid a salary of £ 15, 000 a year (我年薪為15, 000英鎊)。

辦公室工作人員、教師、醫生等專業人員按月領取的薪金用salary,但通常以年薪表示。

The lawyer was paid a huge salary

那位律師薪酬很高。

4、income 表示從各個來源獲得的總收入,包括工資。一般看作是可靠的固定收入。

Many families on low incomes will be unable to afford to buy their own home

許多低收入家庭將會買不起自己的房子。

Tourism is up, jobs are up, individual income is up

旅遊火了,工作機會多了,個人收入漲了。

5、earnings

指薪水、工資、收入

earnings表示工作所得的報酬,不包括非勞動所得,例如銀行存款的利息等

earnings指設法掙得的非固定收入。

Last year there was a 20% decrease in his earnings.

去年他的收入減少了20%。

He was satisfied with his earnings as an accountant.

他對自己會計師的收入很滿意。
