请教各位英语达人，“客户”，一般有俩个翻译，customer,client，这俩个单词的用法有什么区别啊？

Question

祝达人们的英语越来越好~

Answer 1

client的中文翻译为“客户”，比如商业客户等。而customer的中文翻译为“顾客”、“消费者”，从翻译也就能能看出两者的区别。补充：client较之customer要稍微正式一点

Answer 2

朗文上给的解释：
Customer is the most general word. A customer is someone who buys something from a particular shop. People who pay to use something such as a transport service can also be called customers : A customer came in and bought several jackets. |Customers are advised that the next train is delayed.
A client is someone who pays for a service : a hairdresser and her clients
就是说Customer指比较普通的商店顾客之类。而client多是指商业上的客户。

Answer 3

client一般是指比较正规的客户，比如说被提供服务的非个人终端收益者；
customer一般是指零售业，或者是单个购买产品或者服务的终端受益者；
