Question

bureau n.局；办事处；(带抽屉的）写字台 (1) 他在这个局工作过。(2) 旅游局离这里不远。(3) 他在一家旅行社工作。(4) 这个柜子是他在一家旧货店买的。(5) 她把信封放在梳妆台抽屉的内衣下面,这里理查德是决不会看的地方。 A dresser or a chest of drawers can also be called a bureau, a piece of furniture with drawers for storing things. Another meaning of bureau is "an office or government agency." These two definitions seem unrelated, but the original meaning of the French word bureau, "cloth covering for a desk" helps explain. Bureau gradually evolved to mean first just "desk" (and eventually "dresser"), and around 1720 it also started being used to mean a room full of desks, or an office.
