1. 1nB1/rɪˈpɔːrtər/ · /rɪˈpɔːtə/記者

    someone whose job is to find out about news events and write about them for a newspaper, or to tell people about them on television or on the radio.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo's aunt is a reporter for a local newspaper, and she writes a new story almost every day.

    逐字里歐的阿姨是一份地方報紙的記者,而且她幾乎每天都寫一篇新的報導。

    reporter 可以想成就是「report(報導)+ -er(做這件事的人)」長出來的字——去問、去查、把發生的事說給大家聽的那個人。它跟 journalist 的差別在範圍:journalist 是整個新聞這一行的人(寫專欄、當編輯的也算),reporter 特別指跑到現場去找消息、發問的那一個。報紙上的 reporter 用寫的,電視或廣播上的 reporter 用說的,兩種都算。

core核心畫面

You can picture a reporter as the person sent out to where something is happening, who then brings it back and tells everyone else: goes to the scene, finds out what happened, and carries it to the newspaper, the television, or the radio.

可以想成「被派到現場、再把事情帶回來講給大家聽的人」:哪裡出了事就往哪裡去,問出到底發生什麼,然後寫成新聞或對著鏡頭講出來。這個字的重心在「去找、再傳回來」這條動線——report 本來就是把消息帶回來,加上 -er 就是做這件事的人。
