Job Porter Person Countable N Count 可数名词 English Charge

A 'porter' can refer to a person working at the entrance of a hotel or building (doorman/janitor), someone who carries luggage (luggage carrier/porter), a train attendant in a sleeping car, or hospital staff who move patients. In American English, a doorman is often used instead of porter for entrance staff, and in British English, an attendant may be used for train staff.

porter 可以指在酒店或建筑入口处工作的人(门房),负责搬运行李的人(行李员/搬运工),列车卧铺车厢的服务生,或医院里运送病人的护工。在美国,门房通常被称为 doorman,而在英国,列车服务生则可能被称为 attendant。
