A chauffeur is a person whose job is to drive someone else around in a car, usually for a rich person, a company, or an important guest. It's a word than just "driver" — it makes you think of a nice car and someone in a uniform.
司機（尤指私人專屬司機）
組成From French, related to "chauffer," meaning "to heat" — early drivers of steam-powered cars had to heat up the engine, so the word probably first meant something like "the one who heats it up."
