“私人的”是“personnel”還是“personal”？

Personal的意思是“私人的，個(gè)人的”

Personnel means staff or workforce.

Personnel的意思是“職員，人員”
 

Personal and Personnel The words personal and personnel sound fairly similar and both derive from the Latin word personalis (meaning personal). However, their meanings are quite different. (Of note, personal is stressed on the first syllable, and personnel is stressed on the last syllable.)

Personal和Personnel這兩個(gè)詞聽起來很相似，都源自拉丁詞personalis(意為私人的)。然而，它們的意思卻截然不同。(需要注意的是，personal重讀在第一個(gè)音節(jié)，personnel重讀在最后一個(gè)音節(jié)。)

Personal /'p??s(?)n(?)l/

Personal is an adjective that has two main meanings. Generally, it will mean something like private or individual. Sometimes, it describes someone s private business, like when someone says, that s personal instead of answering a question. In this sense, it is a synonym of the adjective private.

Personal是一個(gè)形容詞，有兩個(gè)主要的意思。分別是“私人的”和“個(gè)人的”。有時(shí)候，它用來描述某人的私事。比如某人說，這是私事，就可以避免回答某些問題。在這個(gè)意義上，它是形容詞private的同義詞。

? I wish Frances would stop sticking her nose into my personal affairs, said Dr. Hildebraand.

“我希望弗朗西絲不要再管我的私事了，”希爾德布蘭說。

Personal can also show possession by an individual. Most people have their own personal toothbrushes that they don t share, for instance.

Personal也可以表示個(gè)人擁有(相對(duì)于public)。例如，大多數(shù)人都有自己的牙刷，他們并不共用。

? The CEO will be represented in court by a personal attorney, rather than by a member of the company s legal department.

首席執(zhí)行官將由一名私人律師出庭，而不是公司法律部門的一名成員。

Personnel /p??s?'nel/

Personnel The word personnel is most commonly seen as a noun. Personnel is similar in meaning to staff (i.e., it denotes the people employed in an organisation, business, or service).

Personnel這個(gè)詞最常用作名詞。Personnel的意思與“職員”相似(即:表示受雇于機(jī)構(gòu)、業(yè)務(wù)或服務(wù)的人士)。

? We have over 100 personnel working in our company.

我們有超過100名工作人員在我們公司。

設(shè)備是一流的，但我們需要更多的人員。

? We have a personnel issue. (i.e., a problem with our staff)

我們有個(gè)人事問題。(即，我們的員工有問題)

“Personal”常作為形容詞，

表示“私人的，個(gè)人的”;

而“personnel”則常用作名詞，

意思是“人員，員工”
