pay的基本意思是“付给”“付出”，“偿还”，“补偿”

pay有三种用法，一是用作动词，意思是“支付；盈利；受益；付出代价”，二是用作名词，意思是“工资；薪水”，三是用作形容词，基本意思是“需付费的；含贵重矿物的；矿藏丰富的；有关支付的”。

英语中的一词多义：

Pay 的一词多义都是由 “付出” 或“ 得到” 这两层意思延伸出来的，是以 “你” 作为 “媒介” 或者 “参照物” 来讲述的。

由 “付出” 引出的动词。你开公司做老板雇用别人为你工作，你买东西，你享受别人提供的服务，都要付出 – 付钱，这就是 pay 付费，付酬。

你履行应尽的义务，该出资的出资，该交钱的交钱，比如租房交房租、用手机每月要充值、欠钱要还债。这就是付出 – 付钱，这就是 pay 交纳，偿还。

银行不会从无到有生钱，但银行是可以合法地赚差价，即存款利息低，贷款利息高，你把钱放进银行，让银行为你生息理财，那你要先付出 – 付钱，这就是 pay 存钱，储蓄。

当你的观念或者说想法不正确，导致你的言行偏离正确，你就要付出，付出的是代价，这就是 pay 付代价，遭受惩罚，得到报应。

Pay 与 visit, attention 等名词结合使用，表示将要付出 - 行动，如 pay sb a visit 拜访某人，pay attention 注意，这就是 pay 给予。

付款，还可以作名词工资

pay可作名词，动词，形容词。

动词译为“支付，付；偿还，补偿；给予；付款；偿还”。

名词译为“工资，薪水；付款；报答”。

形容词译为“收费的；需付费的”。
