词组 servant
释义 servant
servantn. [′sɜːvǝnt] (servants)
双解释义
1. C 仆人,佣人  a person who is paid to do personal services for sb, such as cleaning or cooking, especially in their house
2. C 雇员,公务人员  a person who serves sb, rather than controlling their activities
基本要点
1. servant的基本意思是“仆人”“佣人”,主要指为雇主做家务的人,带有一定的受压迫的意味,引申还可指受政府雇用为社会公共事业服务的“雇员”“公务人员”,作此解时,常与介词of连用。
2. public servant的意思是“公仆”, general servant指“杂役”。
3. 在现在,表示“雇来做家务事的人”应避免用servant,尤其是在广告或称呼语中可用houseworker, maid, nurse等词代替。
4. 公函末尾署名前常可用Your obedient servant作客套用语。
