Supplier can be used to talk about any company that sells goods to businesses and shops. A supplier might be the company that makes the goods-the manufacturer-or the company that sells raw materials to the manufacturer. A distributor works with a manufacturer, buying the goods they have made and selling them to shops. A company can be both a supplier and a distributor, depending on your point of view: the manufacturer whose goods they sell will see them as the distributor of their goods; the business that buys from them will see them as the supplier of their materials or equipment. * supplier比distributor使用范围更广些。supplier指任何为企业或商店供货的公司,可以是生产商品的公司(生产商),也可以是为生产商提供原材料的公司。distributor与生产商打交道,购买他们所生产的商品,然后向商店销售。同一家公司可以是supplier,也可以是distributor,取决于你从哪个角度看。他们所经销商品的生产商会把他们看作是distributor,而向他们购买商品的企业则把他们看作是材料或设备的supplier。■wholesalerˈhəʊlseɪlə(r); NAmEˈhoʊlseɪlər [countable] a person involved in the business of buying and selling goods in large quantities, especially so they can be sold again to make a profit批发商◆The majority of stock is bought through wholesalers, before being repackaged for retailing to the public.大多数现货购自批发商,再分装零售。■shopkeeperˈʃɒpkiːpə(r); NAmEˈʃɑːpkiːpər [countable] a person who owns or manages a shop, usually a small one(通常指小商店的)店主◆the village shopkeeper村里小商店的店主
