v.t.
To give occupation to. 雇用。

cf.
Employ and use as applied to things are often interchangeable. Employ 及 use 两字用指事物时往往可以通用。
As applied to persons, use may suggest an advantage taken of weakness or inferiority. 若用以指人，则use 含利用他人之弱点或劣势之意：
- He used him to advance his own interests. 他利用他，以增进其私人之利益。
Employ is a more dignified term than hire, for it emphasizes the idea of service to be rendered, while hire suggests the wages to be paid. Employ 较 hire 为尊重，因前者着重工作的意思，而后者着重付给薪资。

use, hire.
