The person who owns or runs a shop — usually a small one, the sort where you know the owner's face. It is mainly American English; British speakers say shopkeeper. Even in America it has a slightly old-fashioned, small-town feeling, the word of country stores and Westerns, and today people more often say shop owner, store owner or just 'the guy who runs the store'.

The person who owns or runs a shop擁有或經營一間店的人 — usually a small one通常是小店, the sort where you know the owner's face那種你認得老闆長相的店。It is mainly American English這主要是美式英文； British speakers say shopkeeper英式英文說shopkeeper。Even in America就算在美國, it has a slightly old-fashioned, small-town feeling這個字也帶點老派、小鎮的味道, the word of country stores and Westerns是鄉村雜貨店和西部片裡的用字, and today people more often say shop owner, store owner or just 'the guy who runs the store'現在的人比較常說shop owner、store owner，或乾脆說「顧店的那個人」。

There is a second, quite different use in workplaces: in a factory, a hospital or the army, the storekeeper is the person in charge of the store-room, who keeps count of the supplies and hands them out. That sense has nothing to do with selling; it is a job title, and in the US Navy it is a formal rank.

There is a second, quite different use in workplaces在職場上還有第二種完全不同的用法： in a factory, a hospital or the army在工廠、醫院，或軍隊裡, the storekeeper is the person in charge of the store-room storekeeper是負責倉庫的人, who keeps count of the supplies and hands them out負責清點物資、把東西發出去。That sense has nothing to do with selling這個意思跟賣東西完全無關； it is a job title它是一個職稱, and in the US Navy it is a formal rank在美國海軍裡還是個正式軍階。
