| vocabulary扩展 | Your boss at the animal shelter might hire you immediately if she's desperate for help — or if you impress her as a true animal lover. Once she does, she can call you "a new hire," or a recently hired employee. It's less common in the U.S. than in Britain, but you can also say you hire a car when you rent or lease one. Hire comes from the Old English hyr, which means both "wages" and "interest." |
| 柯林斯解释 | 1 [VERB 动词]雇用 If you hire someone, you employ them or pay them to do a particular job for you. [V n] [V] [V-ing] [V-ed]
2 [VERB 动词](短期)租用 If you hire something, you pay money to the owner so that you can use it for a period of time. [V n] [V-ed] [mainly BRIT 主英]
in AM, usually use 美国英语通常用 rent 3 [N-UNCOUNT 不可数名词]租赁(业);出租(业务) You use hire to refer to the activity or business of hiring something. [usu n N] [mainly BRIT 主英]
in AM, usually use 美国英语通常用 rental 4 [PHRASE 短语]供出租;待租 If something is for hire, it is available for you to hire. [usu v-link PHR] [mainly BRIT 主英]
in AM, usually use 美国英语通常用 for rent Usage Note : Do not confuse hire, rent, 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hire, rent和let。表示短期租用某物时,英国英语用hire,而美国英语则更常用rent。如,He was unable to hire another car(他没钱再多租一辆车了),He rented a car for the weekend(他租了辆车度周末)。表示长期租用某物并分期支付费用时,要用rent,如,the apartment he had rented(他租住的公寓),He rented a TV(他租了台电视机)。也可以用rent表示将房子或房间租给别人住并收取租金,如,We rented our house to an American professor(我们把房子租给了一位美国教授)。出租房子或房间也可用let,如,They were letting a room to a school teacher(他们把一个房间租给了一名老师)。
