    示範例句 · Example

    Mei's uncle is a local businessman who owns a small bookstore.

    逐字美的叔叔是一個本地商人,他擁有一間小書店。

    「businessman」是「在商界工作的男性」,常常指開公司或管理公司的人。中文最自然的標籤是「商人」,也可以說「生意人」;若對方是女生,英文用 businesswoman,不分性別時可用 businessperson。可以想成:business(生意)+ man(男性)——指「做生意、經營事業的男人」。跟 shopkeeper 比:shopkeeper 多半指開小店的人;businessman 範圍更廣,從小店老闆到大公司主管都可能用。

core核心畫面

One way to picture it: the man whose working life is buying, selling, and running a company — the one making the deals rather than doing the job on the floor. It is business + man, so the word names the field and the person in one go.

可以想成一個以買賣和經營公司為業的男性:談生意、做決定的那個人,而不是在第一線做事的人。這個字就是 business + man,一次講完領域和人。
