本週要跟大家分享的是費用的正確用法，英文能表示費用的字有fee, cost, fare及charge，這幾個字常常令我們的學生困擾，那麼他們得差別在哪裡呢？

•Fare: 指車、船及機票費。

例句：People usually don't consider taking a taxi while traveling because the taxi fare is expensive.

The air fare of the airline we choose is quite cheap.

•Charge:指收費的意思，但也與名詞合用指某些特定的費用，如：手續費handling charge。
