用法辨析

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,也可特指发给军人的薪饷,强调付了钱,不如salary和wages正式。
• pay作及物动词，后面可直接跟宾语，但一般是表示钱，账单或人的词。如果要表示为某事或某物付钱时，需要用介词for或是to的不定式来引导。I will pay for that book. He paid us to watch his house.
• 在美国，pay可作形容词，表示“付费的”或是“收费的”，例如pay hospital（收费的医院）和pay patient（付费的病人）；
• pay后可接介词by，表示“由……支付”。Their nursing costs are paid by the Government. 他们的护理费用由政府来支付。
• pay bills表示“付帐”，pay homage to a person表示“向某人表示敬意”，pay tribute to a person表示“赞扬某人”。
