系别设置---英语--释疑解惑
 问：
你知道Salary,
wages, pay, allowance这四个词之间的区别吗？
答： 这四个词都有"薪水"的意思。
"Salary"――"薪水"、"薪金"，主要指脑力劳动者的工资，支付期间的间隔较长，可作可数或不可数名词。与之搭配的介词有on,
for, at, against, in, with, without等。
e.g. 1. Will he accept the appointment on that salary?
2. He wouldn't accept this office for such a small salary.
3. She holds an office with a good salary.
你可以记住以下有用词组噢：fix the salary at… "确定薪水为……"；a raise in salary
"加薪"；live on a small salary "靠微薄的薪水生活"。
"wage (s)"――"工资"、"工钱"，通常指给予体力劳动者的短期工作的报酬,
通常按周计算。与"pay" 和"salary"相比，"wage (s)"在西方国家由指地位低下的、手工的和机械工人所得的工资,
常用复数，也可有单数形式，如a living wage "用以维持生活的工资"。与之搭配的介词有at, by,
for, in, of, on等。
e.g. 1. He works at a wage of 10 dollars a week.
2. He got a sudden rise in his wage.
3. I'm afraid he can not get along on his little wages.
常见的词组有：at a wage of $20 a week "每周工资20美元"；a rise in wages
"提薪"；demand for higher wages "要求涨工资"。
"pay"――"工资"、"薪水"，使用最为简单。它特指海陆空军人和在政府管理下工作人员的薪水，不可数名词。与之搭配的介词有：for,
in, at, on, under, with, without 等。
e.g. 1. He wonders why he is not on full pay this month.
2. The workers went on strike for higher pay.
3. How much tax do they take out of your pay?
要记住的有用词组有：at full pay "以全薪"；on half pay "领半薪"；pay
for weekend work "周末加班工资"；equal pay for equal work "同工同�"。
"allowance"――"津贴"、"补贴"、"定期给的一笔钱"，它不指应得的薪水或工资，而指根据政策、规章制度或慈善心愿而定期给予的附加费用。可数名词。与之搭配的介词有of,
from等。
e.g. 1. She will be given an allowance of 10 dollars a month.
2. He has a yearly allowance of 2,000 pounds.
3. Mr. Smith will have an allowance from the government for this
special trip.
要记住的词组很简单：give an allowance of "给$…津贴"；have an allowance
of "有$…津贴"；a monthly allowance "月津贴"。其实这些词组在例句中你就学会了，现在又复习一遍了。祝你能拿到high
allowance。
Question:
Can you tell me the difference between active & positive; passive
& negative?
Answer: "active" and
"positive" carry different meanings.
"active" means "energetic, lively, characterized
by activities", in Chinese "积极的"、"灵活的"
e.g. an active boy (积极/精力充沛的男孩)
an active brain/imagination （灵活的头脑/想象力 ）
an active volcano （活火山）
"positive" carries several meanings, one of which is "practical
and constructive", in Chinese: "有建设性的"
e.g. a positive suggestion (有建设性 / 积极的的建议)
Please note that the Chinese "积极的" is the same, but its
implied meaning is different.
Other phrases with "positive": positive help (实际的帮助),
give positive orders (下达明确的命令)
a positive answer (肯定的答复)，
a positive number （正数）
What's more, pay attention to the following sentences (different
word, different meaning)
He is active. (他很积极/好动/精力很充沛)
He is positive that …（他确信 ……）
As for the difference between passive & negative, you can refer
to the above difference between active & positive. Active &
passive are antonyms, so are positive & negative.
More phrases: a passive boy (消极的男孩)，
passive obedience（消极的服从）
A negative answer （否定的回答）
negative criticism （消极的批评）
A negative number (负数)
