['kaʊntə(r).pɑː(r)t]
n.职务(或作用)相当的人,对应的事物
我们在人际交往中是喜欢对等的,
比如谈合作的时候如果我方是总监,
那对方也需要是总监级别的人,
这就是Counterpart。
它是一个常用词,
比如:对口支援是counterpart aid;
对应支出是counterpart expenditure。
我们来看2个例句:
At the United Nations, Rice has traded barbs with her Russian counterpart and is known to be a tough negotiator.
而在联合国,赖斯与她的俄罗斯同僚针锋相对,并被认为是一位令人棘手的谈判家。
The German now had the measure of his counterpart and the second set was a little bit more straight-forward.
此时德国人找到了对付对手的办法,第二盘一路顺风顺水。
