So are you looking for the real meaning of the word or just a word that sounds exactly like an English equivalent? Because 泊车 means to park and 泊 originally meant to anchor. But 配 doesn't mean pay.... So I'm not sure where you are going with this. Unless you are thinking of 赔 which means to pay or compensate.... But can't be used in the example you gave as it means to pay as means of compensation...

[Outofin]

Because 泊车 means to park and 泊 originally meant to anchor. But 配 doesn't mean pay....

泊，停泊。泊船，park the boat.

配 allocate money

[muyongshi]

配 allocate money

Yes allocate but allocating and "pay" are two very different words...

[文言訓開班]

There's a Hong Kong character for elevator pronounced lip1 that is a direct transliteration of the British, "lift". I don't remember the 部, but the 体 is 立.....maybe it's 爿立? Anyway, standard typing character sets don't generate the character.
