小知识
To lease something is to borrow it in exchange for money. If you lease a car from a dealer, for example, you make payments and you get to drive the car, but at the end of the contract you have to give it back.
As a noun, a lease is both the thing you are contracting to rent (the car itself is a lease) and the contract spelling out the terms of use — in other words, a rental agreement. Be sure to check the fine print on your apartment lease to avoid any unpleasant surprises when you move out — like owing money for painting over that hideous wallpaper in the living room.

动词辨析
lease,charter,hire
这组词的共同意思是“出租某物”。其区别是hire指短期租用某物,在英国,一般指出租汽车、船只等;charter指为某一特殊目的而租或包用大型交通工具;lease指立约出租房屋、土地或其他不动产。例如He hired a taxi for several hours.他租用了几个小时的出租车。Our school chartered three buses for the trip.我们学校为了这次旅游包租了3辆公共汽车。He leased his house for the summer.夏天他把房子租给别人使用。lease,lend,loan
这组词都有“借出”的意思。其区别是lend是最普通的用语,loan指“贷与”“借与”,是财会上的正式用语,一般不用于私人关系的借贷,但在美式英语中,loan和lend两个词通用;lease一般指出租房屋、土地等不动产。
