  • 记忆方法

    词源记忆法
    英语单词office来自拉丁语officium,由opus(工作)和facere(做)组成,字面意思就是“做事、完成工作)。最初它主要应用于宗教领域,表示教会提供的各种宗教服务或仪式,如礼拜、洗礼等。后来,该词的宗教色彩减弱,可用于世俗场合,表示“岗位”、“工作”。16世纪60年代时,该词才首次用来表示“工作的场所”,即“办公室”。

    小知识

    If you have an office job, it means that you go to work in an office, or a professional business place, every day.

    Your office is the place you work, meeting with colleagues, sitting at a desk, and wearing sneakers on Casual Friday. The President of the United States has an office too, but it's a different kind: his or her office is a position of power. All government officials can be described as holding or taking office, which is when they assume the control and responsibilities that come with their important jobs.
