Book usually means to make a firm arrangement which often includes making a payment at the same time or being charged if you cancel.

You can also say make a reservation, which is the most usual way to express this idea in American English. * book通常指作出确定的安排，常包括在预订的同时付款，又或者如果取消预订也要交一定的费用。reserve指预订、预留某物，通常不要求预先付款，除非是预订火车座位。也可以说make a reservation，这是美式英语中表达此义最常见的用法◆I'd like to make a reservation for August 14.我想预订8月14日的座位。 see also reserve ⇨ reserve , reservation ⇨ request rate2 noun the rate of change 变动率sb's rate of pay 某人的薪资 ➡ See also the entry for ⇨ price noun 另见price名词词条rate ♦︎ charge ♦︎ fee ♦︎ rent ♦︎ fine ♦︎ fare ♦︎ terms ♦︎ dues ♦︎ toll ♦︎ rentalThese are all words for an amount of money that is charged or paid for sth. 这些词均表示价格、费用。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆a rate / a charge / a fee / rent / a fine / the fare / the terms / dues / a toll / the rental for sth◆a rate / a charge / a fee / rent / a toll / the rental on sth◆at a rate / charge / fee / rent / fare / rental of...◆for a charge / fee◆(a / an) annual / monthly rate / charge / fee / rent / dues / rental◆(a) daily rate / charge / fee / rent / rental◆(a) reasonable rate / charge / fee / rent / fare / terms / toll / rental◆(a) high / low rate / charge / fee / rent / fare / toll / rental◆(a) fixed rate / charge / fee / rent / fare / terms / rental◆(a) flat rate / charge / fee / fare◆the full rate / charge / fee / rent / fare / toll / rental◆to pay a rate / a charge / a fee / rent / a fine / a fare / your dues / a toll / the rental◆to charge a rate / a fee / rent / a fare / dues / a toll / rental◆to increase / reduce the rate / charge / fee / rent / fine / fare / dues / toll■ rate [countable] a fixed amount of money that is asked or paid for sth 价格；费用◆The job has a very low hourly rate of pay.这个工作时薪很低。◆We offer special reduced rates for students.我们对学生有特惠价格。◆What is the going rate (= the usual level of payment) for bar work?在酒吧工作一般工资多少？◆We were forced to borrow the money at an extortionately high rate of interest.我们被迫借高利贷。◆The bank has announced a cut in interest rates.银行已宣布降息。 see also rates ⇨ tax ■ charge [countable] an amount of money that is asked for goods or services （商品或服务的）要价，收费◆We have to make a small charge for refreshments.我们得收取些许茶点费。◆Delivery is free of charge (= costs nothing).免费送货。◆ (BrE) The museum has introduced a £3 admission charge.那家博物馆开始收取3英镑的入场费。 see also charge ⇨ charge verb ■ fee [countable] (rather formal) an amount of money that you have to pay for professional advice or services, to go to a school or college, join an organization or visit a place 专业服务费；咨询费；学费；会费；参观费◆The family spent over £20 000 on legal fees.那个家庭支付了20 000多英镑的诉讼费。◆Does the bank charge a fee for setting up the account?在这家银行开立账户要收费吗？◆Club members pay an annual membership fee of £775.俱乐部会员每年支付775英镑的会费。◆ (especially BrE) There is no entrance fee to the gallery.该美术馆不收入场费。◆ (especially NAmE) an admission fee入场费 see also subscription ⇨ payment NOTE 辨析 Charge or fee?

Money that you pay to visit a place such as a museum is called an admission charge or entrance fee in British English, an admission fee or (less frequently) entrance fee in American English, (but never an 'entrance charge'). 博物馆等场所向参观者收取的入场费在英式英语中称为admission charge或entrance fee，在美式英语中称为admission fee或没那么常用的entrance fee，但从不用entrance charge。 ■ rent [uncountable, countable] an amount of money that you regularly have to pay for use of a building or room （建筑物或房屋的）租金◆The landlord charged them a month's rent in advance.房东预先收取了他们一个月的租金。◆ (BrE) They began falling behind with their rent (= paying it late or not at all).他们开始拖欠房租。◆ (NAmE) They began falling behind in their rent.他们开始拖欠房租。◆Rents are rising in the business district.商业区的租金在上涨。■ fine [countable] a sum of money that must be paid as punishment for breaking a law or rule 罚金；罚款◆a parking fine违规停车罚款◆Offenders will be liable to a heavy fine (= one that costs a lot of money).违者须付巨额罚金。◆She has already paid over $2 000 in fines.她已经交了2 000多元罚金。 see also fine ⇨ charge verb ■ fare [countable] the money that you pay to travel by bus, plane, taxi, etc. （车船、飞机等交通工具的）票价◆Fares have been increased by 10%.票价已经上调了10%。◆a bus / taxi / rail / air fare公共汽车票价；出租车费；火车／飞机票价◆ (BrE) How much is the return / single fare?往返／单程票价是多少？◆ (NAmE) Round-trip fare from New York to Cincinnati is $229.从纽约到辛辛那提的往返车费是229美元。◆ (NAmE) one-way fare单程票价■ terms [plural] conditions that you agree when you buy, sell or pay for sth; a price or cost （交易的）条件；价钱；费用◆to buy sth on easy terms (= paying for it over a long period) 分期付款购买◆My terms are £20 a lesson.我每教一课收费20英镑。 see also terms ⇨ condition ■ dues [plural] an amount of money that you have to pay so that you can be a member of an organization 会费◆He had not paid his trade union dues for six months.他已经六个月未缴纳工会会费了。 see also subscription ⇨ payment ■ toll /təʊl; NAmE toʊl/ [countable] an amount of money that you have to pay to use a particular road or bridge （道路或桥梁的）通行费◆She took enough money to pay for motorway tolls and ferry tickets.她带了足够的钱支付高速公路通行费和船票。◆a toll road / bridge收费道路／桥梁ⓘ In American English, a toll is also a charge for a telephone call that is calculated at a higher rate than a local call. 在美式英语中，toll亦指长途电话费◆ (NAmE) Is San Jose to San Mateo a toll call?(= Do I have to pay extra for this call?

Rent is money paid to use a building or room; for other items use rental or rate. In American English rent verb is used in connection with cars, but the usual noun is rate. * rent指建筑物或房屋的租金，其他物品的租金用rental或rate。在美式英语中，动词rent用于与汽车有关的语境，但表达此义的名词通常用rate◆It costs us $300 a week to rent a car.我们每周租车要花费300元。◆The rate on the car was $300 a week.汽车每周的租金是300元。 |
