“把钩工人”可以翻译为 “signalman” 或 “hoist operator (specifically in charge of signal and coupling operations at a mine or similar site)”。不过,在更常见的语境和简洁表达中,“signalman” 是一个被广泛接受且能基本涵盖该岗位核心职责的翻译,尤其在矿山等作业场景中,负责信号传递及挂钩相关操作的工人常被称为此。
若要更精准体现“把钩”这一具体动作,可在特定行业文档或说明中进一步解释其具体工作内容,例如:“The signalman in this context is responsible for coupling and uncoupling the mine cars and giving proper signals during the hoisting operation.” (在此情境下,信号员负责矿车的挂钩与摘钩操作,并在提升作业中给出正确的信号 。)
