"deputy" in Chinese (Traditional)

副手代理人副警長

Definition

Deputy 指協助上級工作、或在需要時代替上級行事的人。在一些國家,這個詞也可以指民選的立法機構成員。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

這個詞多用於正式、職業或政府語境,如 'deputy manager'、'deputy director'、'deputy sheriff'。具體意思取決於制度:在英式英語裡常指「副職、第二負責人」,而在一些國家裡也可指「議員」。不要和 'assistant' 混淆,後者通常沒那麼正式,權力也可能更小。
