    示範例句 · Example

    My uncle is an accountant, and he helps small shops keep clear money records.

    逐字我的叔叔是一位會計師,而且他幫助小店舖保持清楚的金錢紀錄。

    「accountant」是「專門記帳、核對金錢紀錄的人」——幫個人或公司整理進出帳,也常幫忙算稅。How can we think of it? 核心畫面可以想成「幫別人把錢的故事記清楚」:錢進了多少、出了多少、稅要怎麼算。中文常說「會計師」;日常口語也會說「會計」。它跟 bookkeeper(簿記員)接近,但 accountant 更常帶專業訓練與查核味道。可數名詞:an accountant / accountants。

core核心畫面

Picture the person who keeps track of where the money went and makes the record add up — checking the books, closing the year, working out the tax. An accountant is that person, and the word is built from account plus -ant: the one who handles the accounts.

可以想成:那個負責記清楚錢跑到哪裡去、並且讓帳目對得起來的人——查帳、結算、算稅。accountant 就是這個人。字是由 account(帳目)加上 -ant(做這件事的人)組成的,拆開來看就明白了。
