核心畫面

Picture someone living in a flat that is not theirs: their shoes are by the door, their food is in the fridge, and once a month money goes to the person whose name is on the deed. A tenant is the one who lives there but does not own it — the living is real, the ownership belongs to someone else.

可以想成一個人住在一間不屬於他的房子裡:鞋子擺在門口、冰箱裡是他的菜,但每個月得付一筆錢給真正的屋主。tenant 更多收起可以想成一個人住在一間不屬於他的房子裡:鞋子擺在門口、冰箱裡是他的菜,但每個月得付一筆錢給真正的屋主。tenant 就是「住在裡面、但房子不是他的」那個人。跟他相對的是 landlord/landlady(房東)。要注意它比中文的「房客」正式一點,租約、法律、新聞裡最常看到(tenants' rights、evict a tenant);日常聊天說「我室友」「我在租房子」時,英文多半會用別的說法。
