someone whose job is to stop burning and to help people in danger from fire.
示範例句 · Example
Firefighters rescued the children who were trapped upstairs.
逐字消防員救出了被困在樓上的孩子們。
「firefighter」是「工作就是把火滅掉、在火災裡救人的人」，中文最自然說消防員。常見說法：put out a fire（滅火）、firefighters rescued…（消防員救出…）、call out the firefighters（出動消防員）。核心畫面可以想成「穿裝備、開消防車去滅火救人的職業角色」。它跟 fireman、the fire department 容易並排：firefighter 是中性的「這個人」；fireman 多半指男性、偏英式舊說法；the fire department / the fire brigade 指的是整個消防單位，不是一個人。
