Spokesperson
代表组织对外发布信息的人；现代英文媒体与机构文件优先使用 spokesperson 以避免性别偏见。
- “A police spokesperson confirmed that the road was closed.” (警方发言人证实道路已封闭。)
- “The company’s spokesperson declined to comment on the merger.” (公司发言人拒绝对合并案置评。)
- “She works as a spokesperson for a climate nonprofit.” (她担任一家气候非营利组织的发言人。)
复合词：speak + person，中间插入 s 连接；与 spoke、speech 同源（印欧语系表示“说”的词根）。
无典型前后缀；可视为 speak + s + person 的复合构词。
新闻发布会、公关稿标准角色名；与 press officer、communications director 职能可能重叠但 spokesperson 更偏对外口径。
- 固定搭配: “official spokesperson” (官方发言人), “acting spokesperson” (代理发言人)
- 复数: spokespersons 或 spokespeople
person who speaks for others → spokesperson。
“The spokesperson read a short statement and took no questions.” (发言人宣读了一份简短声明，不接受提问。)
