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)。
