Tips:
■ 行政头衔 以“副”字的表示副职的行政职务头衔,可用
vice 、 deputy 表达。在实际使用时究竟选用哪个,纯属搭配习惯。一般来说, vice 与 president 、 premier 、 chairman 、 minister 、 governor 搭配;deputy 与 director 、 chief 、 head 、 secretary 、 dean 、 mayor 搭配。似乎可以认为, Vice 比 Deputy 的搭配级别要高。
■ 学术头衔 学术头衔的“副”职称,常用 associate 表示。如:
副教授 associate professor 副研究员 associate research fellow 副审判长 associate judge 副主任医师 associate doctor
