“遗失者”常见的英文表达可以是 “the person who lost something” (较为直白、具体的表述) 或者更简洁常用的 “the loser” (不过“loser”在日常语境中有“失败者”的贬义含义,但在描述“遗失物品的人”这一特定语境时,可明确其指代“遗失者”,避免歧义的关键在于上下文) ,还有 “the one who misplaced the item” (“misplace”强调不小心放错位置导致遗失,“item”指代遗失的物品) 。
以下是一些例句帮助你理解其用法:
The police are trying to find the person who lost the valuable necklace. (警方正在努力寻找遗失那条贵重项链的人 。)
The loser of the wallet is very worried and has reported it to the police. (钱包的遗失者非常着急,已经向警方报案了 。)
We need to help the one who misplaced the important document find it as soon as possible. (我们需要帮助那个不小心放错重要文件位置的遗失者尽快找到它 。 )
