account,client,customer什么区别？

问题描述

account,client,customer 都可以表示“客户”，它们有什么区别？

老师答疑

童老师：

account 一般不表示“客户”。至于client与customer表示“客户”时的区别，原版英语词典的解释是这样的：

1. A customer is someone who buys goods or services from a shop/store or business, or who uses a bank. customer 是指商店、商行或银行的“客户”“顾客”。

2. A client pays to use the services or advice of a professional person, such as a lawyer or designer, or an organization. client 指律师、设计师等专业人员或机构的“客户”（或叫委托人）。

3. Customer is increasingly being used now instead of other words such as “passenger” to suggest that the passenger, etc. has more power or choice than they used to. 现在人们越来越多地使用customer来代替passenger等词，表明乘客之类的人比以往具有更多的权利或选择。
