我觉得应该看上下文来确定吧,
这几个表示收入的单词大家特别容易搞混,特别是做完型填空的时候,所以把各个词的具体用法列出来
供大家复习的时候用：
Salary，wage和pay这三个词都可以表示“工资”，但其含义不同。salary是指非体力劳动者所得到的“工资、薪水”，通常按月，有时按季或年计算（Salary is usually paid monthly,sometimes three months or a year,for a job,esp.as for workers of higher skill and rank）；wage指简单劳动或体力劳动者所得的“工资、工钱”，通常按周、日等短期计算发给（Wages are paid weekly for a job,esp.as for labourers or workers.），常用复数形式；pay指不论工作性质如何，针对劳动所支付的报酬，它包含salary和wage（s）（pay is paid for a job），为不可数名词。来看看相应的例子：
She draws a substantial salary. 她的薪水相当高。
His average wages are ￥ 250 a week. 他每周平均工资是250元人民币。
I get my pay on time every month. 我每月按时领工资。
Salary, wages, pay, allowance这四个词之间的区别
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 $20 a week "每周工资20美元"；a rise in wages "提薪"；demand for higher wages "要求涨工资"。
"pay"――"工资"、"薪水"，使用最为简单。它特指海陆空军人和在政府管理下工作人员的薪水，不可数名词。与之搭配的介词有：for, in, at, on, under, with, without 等。
e.g. 1. He wonders why he is not on full pay this month.
2. The workers went on strike for higher pay.
3. How much tax do they take out of your pay?
要记住的有用词组有：at full pay "以全薪"；on half pay "领半薪"；pay for weekend work "周末加班工资"；equal pay for equal work "同工同?quot;。
"allowance"――"津贴"、"补贴"、"定期给的一笔钱"，它不指应得的薪水或工资，而指根据政策、规章制度或慈善心愿而定期给予的附加费用。可数名词。与之搭配的介词有of, from等。
e.g. 1. She will be given an allowance of 10 dollars a month.
2. He has a yearly allowance of 2,000 pounds.
3. Mr. Smith will have an allowance from the government for this special trip.
要记住的词组很简单：give an allowance of "给$…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。
income一般是指纯收入,比较口语化,可以用在个人,也可以用在企业
revenue 同 turnover没有太大的区别,一般比较正式,不用在个人身上.
两者都是指总收入,也就是通常意义上说的营业额.不过revenue有时候也会指纯收入,同income的意思比较接近.具体要看上下文的关系
