Fee can represent a larger amount of money than charge, especially in the combinations legal fees and school fees. Charge is used for smaller services in less formal or professional contexts. * fee可指比charge更大的金额，legal fees和school fees尤其如此。charge指没那么正式的场合或不那么专业的小型服务机构收取的费用◆We have to charge a small fee for refreshments. 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。
