hire,rent
Hire和rent用作动词时,一般都表示租用、租借的意思,其实这两个词的涵义和使用场合是不同的。hire也可表示雇用,而rent则不可。现把hire 和rent分辨如下:
hire可用于人或物,如:
They hired a truck to dispose of the junk.
他们租用一辆货车搬走杂物。
She has hired a domestic helper to do the housework.
她雇用了一名家务助理打理家务。
但rent只可用于物件,如:
The holiday-makers rented a jeep for their journey.
那些度假人士租用一辆吉普车去旅行。
Unable to afford a flat,the newly-weds have to rent a room.
那对新婚夫妇因买不起一套房子而只好租住一个房间。
用于死物时,两个词一般都有特定用法:hire 指较小型工具,如 clothing、skis、fishing tools、musical instruments、computer、machine、rent指房屋或较大型工具,如 house、flat、room、auditorium、hall、stall、a computer system、machine.例:
The picnickers hired some warm clothes for a trip up the mountain top.
旅行人为登山顶而租用一些保暖衣服。
The singer rented an auditorium for a concert.
那位歌星租了一所大堂举行演唱会。
指交通工具时,hire 和rent同时可用,唯一分别是rent比hire指的是较长期的租用,而且较偏重租金方面。
Whe hire a taxi downtown.
我们乘计程汽车入市区。
We rent a car for the long journey.
我们租车作长途旅行。
顺带一提,hire解作雇用时与employ同义,但用法稍有不同。hire是一般用法,指普通的雇用,如hire a servant、hire a domestic helper、hire a temporary teacher、hire some substitute staff等。employ是较正式的用语,一般指大公司聘用职员,如 employ a teacher、employ a clerk、employ a manager等。
