colleague

Compared meaning: a person you work with (noun).

比较义项：一起工作或共事的人（同事）（名词）。

• colleague 本词

  Colleague is the standard, neutral word for a co-worker; it stands alone, without a following noun, and is common in everyday professional contexts.

  colleague是表示“同事”的标准中性用词，可以独立使用，不需要接在名词前面，常用于日常职场语境。

  My colleague reviewed the contract before I sent it to the client.

  我的同事在我把合同发给客户之前审阅了一遍。

• fellow

  Fellow is almost always placed directly before a noun, as in 'fellow workers' or 'fellow students', meaning people who share your group or situation, not a standalone word for co-worker.

  fellow几乎总是直接放在名词前面，如“fellow workers”或“fellow students”，表示与你同属一个群体或处境的人，而不是单独表示“同事”的词。

  My fellow workers signed a card for our manager's last day.

  我的同事们在经理最后一天上班时签了一张贺卡。

Colleague is the standard, neutral word for a co-worker, used alone. Fellow is almost always placed before a noun, as in 'fellow workers', meaning people in your group, not a standalone word for co-worker. Not covered: fellow meaning a man, or a society member.

这两个词在“同事”这一意义上意思相近，但用法不同：colleague是可以独立使用的名词，直接表示“同事”；fellow在现代英语里很少单独表示“同事”，通常放在名词前构成“fellow + 名词”，表示与你同属一个群体或处境的人。这里不比较fellow表示“男人、家伙”或（学会）“会员、研究员”的其他意义。
