快车,专车,顺风车......突然间,好像打车出行的人多了很多选择。有些私家车主在自己有空或者顺路的情况下,会通过一些平台接单拉活,这样的车主有个很直白的名字owner-driver。
With ride-sharing apps Uber and Lyft becoming more and more popular, it’s probably not a surprise to see the term owner-driver – which refers to a person who owns the vehicle that they operate for their job – on the rise.
Uber和Lyft这样的搭乘应用程序越发普及,诸如owner-driver(车主司机)这样的说法越来越多也就不奇怪了,这个词指“以开自己的车为业的人”。
Owner-driver既是车的owner,同时还是驾车赚钱的driver,是不是很直白呢?
For example:
He quitted his job as a security guard last month and bought a second-hand car, now he is an owner-driver, making over 500 yuan a day.
他上个月辞职不干保安了,买了辆二手车。现在他是车主司机,每天收入500多元。
