Lessee
“Lessee” 是一个名词,指通过租赁协议获得财产(如房屋、土地或车辆)使用权的一方。也就是通常所说的“租客”或“承租人”。
- “The lessee is responsible for maintaining the garden during the rental period.” (承租人负责在租期内维护花园。)
- “The agreement requires the lessee to pay a security deposit in advance.” (协议要求承租人预先支付押金。)
- “The rights of the lessee are protected by state housing laws.” (承租人的权利受到州住房法的保护。)
源自 “lease” (租赁) + 后缀 “-ee” (接受者/被动方)。
- 词根: lease
- 后缀: -ee (名词后缀,常指行为的接受者)
在法律和商业合同中,为了区分双方,通常使用 “-or” 和 “-ee” 后缀。例如,出租人是 “lessor”,承租人是 “lessee”。这种对应关系在英语法律术语中非常普遍(如 employer/employee, mortgagor/mortgagee)。
- 对应词: lessor (出租人)
- 动词: lease (出租/租入)
Lease (租约) + ee (人)。接受租约的人,就是承租人。记住 “-ee” 通常是被动方或支付租金的一方。
“The young couple signed the contract as the new lessees of the apartment. They were excited to finally have a place of their own, even if they had to follow all the rules set by the lessor.” (这对年轻夫妇作为公寓的新承租人签署了合同。他们很高兴终于有了自己的地方,即使他们必须遵守出租人制定的所有规则。)
