In American English rent is used for all these things. However, for larger vehicles that usually carry paying passengers, use charter. 在英式英语中，租车、租房间或租用工具用hire，但租DVD或录像带用rent。在美式英语中，租所有这些东西都用rent。不过，租用通常载送付费乘客的大型交通工具则用charter。■ charter [transitive] to hire a plane, boat, bus or train 包租（飞机、船、公共汽车或火车）◆The club chartered a special flight from Manchester to Turin.俱乐部包租了一架从曼彻斯特飞往都灵的专机。▸ charter noun [uncountable] ◆a yacht available for charter可供租赁的游艇■ reserve [transitive] (rather formal) to ask for a seat, table, room or place on a course to be available for you or sb else at a future time 预订，预约（座位、席位、房间）；预留（课程名额）◆They had reserved seats on the train.他们已经在火车上预订了座位。◆Please reserve a place for me on the software training day.请在软件培训日那天给我留一个名额。NOTE 辨析 Book or reserve? Book usually means to make a firm arrangement which often includes making a payment at the same time or being charged if you cancel. Reserve means to ask for sth to be kept for you and does not usually require payment in advance, except in the case of seats on a train. 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 |
