| 释义 |
referring to men and women in job titles neutral words like assistant, worker, representative or person are now used instead of -man and -woman in the names of jobs. for example, you can refer to a person who sells things in a shop/store as a sales assistant rather than a saleswoman or a salesman, and you can use chairperson instead of chairman or chairwoman. 现在，assistant、worker、representative 或 person 等中性词被用来代替职位中的 -man 和 -woman。例如，商店里的售货员可称为 sales assistant，而不是 saleswoman 或 salesman。同样，“主席”可称为 chairperson，而不是 chairman 或 chairwoman。 |
