Usage Note :
Do not confuse rent, hire, and let. In British English, if you pay a sum of money to use something for a short time, you say that you hire it. In American English, it is more common to say that you rent it. He was unable to hire another car... He rented a car for the weekend. If you make a series of payments to use something for a long time, you say that you rent it. ...the apartment he had rented... He rented a TV. You can say that you rent a house or room to someone when they pay you money to live there. We rented our house to an American professor. You can also say that you let a house or room to someone. They were letting a room to a school teacher.
不要混淆 rent,hire 和 let。英国英语中用 hire 表示花钱短期租用某物,在美国英语中 rent 更为常用。如,He was unable to hire another car (他雇不到别的车),He rented a car for the weekend (他为度周末租了一辆车)。rent 表示长期租用某物并且定期付费,如,the apartment he had rented (他租的公寓),He rented a TV (他租了一台电视)。出租房屋并定期收取房租要用rent,如,We rented our house to an American professor (我们把房子租给了一位美国教授)。let 也可表示出租房间给某人,如,They were letting a room to a school teacher (他们把房间租给了一个教师)。
