core核心畫面

The person on the receiving end of the hire: someone else pays, and this is the one whose work is being paid for. The word only exists in relation to an employer — you cannot be one on your own.

可以想成:僱用關係裡「被僱的那一頭」——有人付錢,這位就是提供勞務、領這份錢的人。這個字一定是相對的:沒有 employer(雇主)就沒有 employee,自己接案的人叫 freelancer 或 self-employed,不算 employee。字尾的 -ee 在英文裡常表示「被…的人」,像 trainee、interviewee。
