薪水英语表达（用英语学英语口语）

用英语学英语口语：wage和salary表示“工资”的区别

我们下面用wage和salary做“英语口语”练习，不仅仅做用中文解释清楚二者的区别。

在英语里，当一个人为自己所付出的劳动获得“报酬”时，这种报酬在英语里有两个不同的词汇表示，一个叫salary，一个叫wage

这两个词很多人分不清，就好比外国人傻傻分不清中文“工资”，“薪水”，“收入”一样。

我们首先可以这么“说英语”：

Well,both wage and salary 都是一种pay, or an income, the money we earn for the job we do.

Well, both wage and salary are a pay, or an income, the money we earn for the job we do.

2) 现在轮到用用英语区别，顺便练练口语：

很简单的，记住并能说下面的英语就可以了：

What is wage and what is salary, you can tell the difference ?

1. Well, if your boss tells you your pay will be：

You'll be paid $45,000 per year, or about 4,000 a month.Then, that is our SALARY. We call this pay a salary. We are a salary earner.

2. Well, if your boss tells you your pay will be：

Well, you'll be paid by minimum(the lowest) $16.50 per hour, OR：

You will be earning $10 for doung one piece of work.

Then, that is your WAGE.We call this pay a wage, not a salary. We are a wage earner.

只有wage才会说minimum wage(最低工资wage)的，没有minimum salary一说。

见到wage和salary，不仅能用中文区别，还能用英语区别，能说英语，你的英语口语就有进步了。
