"probation" in Chinese (Traditional)
緩刑試用期
Definition
Probation 指一段對某人進行觀察和考覈的時期,用來判斷其是否遵守規定或表現合格。它常用於法律語境中代替監禁,也可指工作或學校中的試用期。
Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))
'Probation' 最常見於兩個語境:法律語境('be on probation')和工作語境('a six-month probation period')。在法律中,通常指某人在社區中接受監管並遵守規定;在工作中,指公司考察新員工。常見搭配有 'on probation'、'probation officer'、'probation period'。不要把它用於隨意、非正式的「試一試」場合。
