pay和pay for都表示“付钱”,它们的区别在于: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?
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。
pay one's way 自食其力
pay one's own way 自己付自己的账
谐音记忆法
