Compared meaning: a person who keeps official written records (noun).

比较义项:负责保管书面记录的人(名词:记录员/登记员)。

  • recorder 本词

    Recorder typically names someone who writes down what happens during an event, such as court proceedings or a meeting, focusing on the act of recording rather than an institutional post.

    recorder 通常指在某一场合(如法庭审理或会议)中负责记录所发生内容的人,强调“记录”这一行为本身,而不是在某机构中担任的固定职位。

    The court recorder typed every word spoken during the trial.

    法庭记录员把庭审中说的每一句话都打了下来。

  • registrar

    Registrar names an official post at an institution, such as a school or government office, responsible for maintaining official registers and related services like enrollment.

Recorder and registrar both mean a person who keeps written records. Recorder names someone who writes down what happens at an event, like a court hearing. Registrar names an official post at a school or office, in charge of keeping official registers.

这两个词都指负责保管书面记录的人,但语境不同:recorder 常指在某一场合(如法庭审理、会议)中负责记录所发生内容的人,而 registrar 通常是学校、医院或政府登记处等机构中负责官方登记事务的正式职位。这里不比较 recorder 的“录音机”或“竖笛”等含义。
