v.(动词)

employ, hire

这两个词都有“雇用”的意思。其区别是：

1.employ表示一般意义的“雇用”某人,被雇用人工作相对稳定,有固定薪水,还可能晋升职务等,多用于政府部门、工商企业、银行、公司、团体等各种机构,如果用于私人雇用时,即讲好工作待遇,就可开始工作; hire作“雇用”解时,是美式英语或非正式的英语用法,多指用低薪雇用临时工人或进行特殊工作的人。例如:

One thousand hands are employed at this factory.这个工厂雇用1000名工人。

They employ day-labourers during the busy season.他们忙时要雇短工。

We hired a driver to take us on a tour of the city.我们雇了一个司机带我们浏览这个城市。

2.employ的宾语是人, hire的宾语可以是人,也可以是物。 例如:

The new road will employ thousands of men.修这条新路要用成千上万的人。

The store hired two more clerks for the sale.这家商店为了这次廉价销售又雇了两名店员。

During the holiday we hired a boat and went fishing.假期我们租了一条船去钓鱼。

☆ 17世纪60年代进入英语，直接源自法语的eemploi，意为雇用，聘。
