Which is right?
□ 1. I deserve more salaries.
□ 2. I deserve a higher / better salary.
1. I deserve more salaries.
○2. I deserve a higher / better salary
一個人的薪資應用salary單數形表示，該字若用複數形則表示某人自不同雇主得到不同的薪資，或同一雇主對不同員工付出的不同薪資。又加薪不可用more salary表示，應用a higher salary或a batter salary。原句亦可說I deserve a raise.
There are two mistakes in the incorrect sentence. Salary describes the money that someone is paid each month or year by their employer. Salaries is a plural that describes either two or more salaries paid to one person from two or more employers, or two or more salaries paid to multiple employees.
"More salaries" is also incorrect because the speaker does not mean that they want more jobs. We say a higher salary or a better salary to mean that we want our job to pay more. Therefore, the example sentence can also be expressed as "I deserve a raise".
