A charioteer is the person who drives a chariot — the one who holds the reins, stands in the cart, and tries not to be thrown out at the turn. In the ancient races this was a real job, and a famous charioteer could become rich and loved, rather like a sports star.

A charioteer戰車駕駛is就是the person who drives a chariot駕駛戰車的人——the one who holds the reins握著韁繩、stands in the cart站在車廂裡、and tries not to be thrown out at the turn轉彎時盡量不被甩出去的人。In the ancient races在古代的比賽裡，this was a real job這是一份真實的工作，and a famous charioteer而出名的戰車駕駛could become rich and loved可以變得又有錢又受人喜愛，rather like a sports star就像現在的運動明星一樣。

In war, the charioteer often drove while a fighter beside him threw spears. The word is almost only for that old world; you would not call a taxi driver a charioteer except as a joke.

In war在打仗的時候，the charioteer戰車駕駛often drove常常負責駕車while a fighter beside him旁邊的戰士threw spears則負責投擲長矛。The word這個字is幾乎almost only for that old world只用在那個古老的世界裡；you would not call a taxi driver a charioteer你不會把計程車司機叫做charioteer，except as a joke除非是開玩笑。

Though actually, books also use it as a verb, to charioteer, meaning to drive a chariot, but you will rarely need that. The ending -eer is a “person who…” ending, but here it is firmly tied to chariot.

Though actually不過其實，books書裡也會use it as a verb把它當動詞用，to charioteer也就是charioteer這個動詞，meaning to drive a chariot意思是駕駛戰車，but you will rarely need that但你很少會用到。The ending -eer這個-eer字尾is是a 'person who…' ending「做…的人」的字尾，but here但這裡it is firmly tied to chariot它緊緊跟chariot戰車綁在一起。
