词语用法

词义讲解

常见错误

词源解说

v.(动词)

pay的基本意思是“付给”“付出”,指某人买东西或做某事所花费的金钱。引申可表示为“给予”。

pay既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作不及物动词时,多作“合算,值得”解; 用作及物动词时,其搭配范围比较窄,主语只能是人,宾语常是人、钱或账单,而不能是其他物品,如果其客体是物品,则须用for引导。可用于被动结构。

pay可接双宾语,其间接宾语可转化为介词to的宾语。也可接由动词不定式或副词充当补足语的复合宾语。

n.(名词)

pay是不可数名词,意思是“工资,薪水”,指工作所得到的酬金,也可特指发给*人的薪饷,强调付了钱,不如salary和wages正式。

v.(动词)

pay, pay for

pay和pay for都表示“付钱”,其区别在于：当表示为所买的东西付钱时,一般用pay for,后面接表示货物的名词; 当表示向某人付款时,一般用pay,后面接表示受款人的名词。例如:

Will you pay the waiter?你愿意付钱给侍者吗?

We refused to pay them their wages.我们拒绝付给他们工资。

I'll pay for my ticket.我将为我的票付款。

How much did you pay for the book?那本书你付了多少钱?

n.(名词)

pay down, pay up

这两个短语的意思不同,前者的意思是付一部分款,后者是全部付清。例如:

He paid $500 down and agreed to pay the rest in monthly installments.他先付500美元,余款答应分月支付。

If you don't pay up,I'll resort to the law.如果你不全部还清,我就要诉诸法律了。

v.(动词)

他付给我10元钱。

误 He paid for me ten yuan .

正 He paid me ten yuan.

析 pay表示“付某人多少钱”时,接双宾语,间接宾语前不用介词for。

误 The students will pay their respects for the teachers in one way or another before leaving school.

正 The students will pay their respects to the teachers in one way or another before leaving school.

误 It is a tradition in China that the young generation should pay their respects for the old.

正 It is a tradition in China that the young generation should pay their respects to the old.

析 pay respect(s)之后接to,不可接for。但 have〔show〕 respect之后可以接to也可以接for。

误 After ten years of hard work, they finally paid their debts.

正 After ten years of hard work, they finally paid off their debts.

析 pay off是“还清”的意思。而误句中没有off,只是说“还了债务”。

误 Much attention should be paid on your pronunciation.

正 Much attention should be paid to your pronunciation.

析 pay attention to为固定词组,表示“注意…”,表此义时不可说pay attention on。

误 Have you paid the article under your arm?

正 Have you paid for the article under your arm?

误 I have paid 100 yuan on it.

正 I have paid 100 yuan for it.

析 “付…的钱”“为…付钱”,要用pay for。

误 I haven't paid for the driver yet.

正 I haven't paid the driver yet.

析当动词pay后面所跟是人或钱一类的名词时不需接for。

误 Come on.I'll pay you a drink.

正 Come on.I'll buy〔get〕 you a drink.

析表示“出钱请客人”时不用pay sb sth 结构,应该用buy或get。

误 Did he pay back the book he borrowed last month?

正 Did he return the book he borrowed last month?

析 “还钱”“还损坏的东西”用pay,“归还原物”应该用return。

n.(名词)

办公室工作人员中很少有人挣大钱的。

误 Very few office workers get a good pay.

正 Very few office workers get good pay.

析 pay作“工资,薪水”解时是不可数名词,前面不能加a。

☆ 1200年左右进入英语，直接源自古法语的paiier；*初源自古典拉丁语的pacare，意为取悦，满足。
