用法說明
How is "Salary" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Salary"?
salary (someone) to do vs. salary for doing
- salary (someone) to do 強調支付薪資的「目的」或「交換條件」，即為了讓某人執行某項特定任務或工作而付錢。
- salary for doing 則側重於支付薪資的「原因」或「報酬性質」，即因為某人做了某項工作而給予的定期報酬。
- 在描述一份工作的常規、固定報酬時，通常使用 salary for doing。
- 在較為具體或帶有條件性的情境中（尤其是美式英語），salary to do 也可能出現，但 for doing 在談論工作職責時更為常見。 EN: The company salaries him to manage the entire project. 翻譯: 公司付他薪水，讓他管理整個專案。
EN:He receives a good salary for managing the entire project.
翻譯:他因為管理整個專案而獲得優渥的薪水。
總結建議
在描述一份職位的固定報酬時，使用「salary for doing」是最自然且常見的用法。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Salary"?Which "Salary" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The company will salary me next week.
✓The company will pay my salary next week.
"salary" 作為動詞非常罕見且正式，通常僅用於法律或正式文件中。在日常英語中，應使用 "pay a salary" 或 "receive a salary" 等片語。
×My hourly salary is $15.
✓My hourly wage is $15.
"salary" 通常指固定週期（如每月）支付的固定金額，與工作時數無關。按小時、日或週計算的報酬應使用 "wage"。
×He got a good salary.
✓He gets a good salary. / He is on a good salary.
雖然 "salary" 是可數名詞，但表示「領取薪水」的狀態時，習慣使用現在式動詞（如 gets, earns）或片語 "is on a salary"，而非過去式 "got"（除非指特定過去事件）。
×The board decided to salary the position.
✓The board decided to assign a salary to the position.
即使在使用 "salary" 作為動詞的罕見情況下，它也是及物動詞，需要明確的受詞（如金額或職位）。更自然的說法是使用 "set/assign a salary for"。
×What is your salary for this job?
✓What is the salary for this job? / What is your salary in this job?
詢問職位的薪水時，應用 "the salary for the job"。詢問某人的薪水時，可用 "your salary in this job/position" 或 "what you are paid for this job"。
