这两个词都有“司机”“驾驶员”的意思。它们的区别是:
1.driver包含有chauffeur的意思。driver通指司机、车夫或驱赶动物或人的人等; chauffeur专指驾驶机动车辆,尤其是小汽车的司机。例如:
The driver took her here.车夫把她带到这里。
The driver drove the cattle from the field.那赶牲口的人把牛群从田里赶了出来。
It emerged that the driver of the car had been drunk.那辆车上的司机喝醉酒一事暴露了。
He has been a chauffeur since 1992.自1992年以来他一直当汽车司机。
2.chauffeur通常受雇于私人或公司, driver可指任何司机。
