auditor

TOEFLB2
释义
n.
A person who officially examines and verifies financial accounts
审计员(正式审查并核实账目的人)
n.
A student who attends a course as a listener, without taking it for credit
旁听生(只听课、不修学分的学生)
词根拆分
词根派生audit(听)+ -or(做…的人)=「听的人」。原本只是旁听者;如今两个义项都从 audit 的两条路径长出——「听」(审查)账目的人是审计员,只在课堂上旁听的人是这门课的旁听生。

- 2.internal auditor内部审计员
- 3.independent auditor独立审计师
