“临时工人”常见的英文表达有 temporary worker 或 casual worker。
temporary worker 强调工作性质的临时性,即工作不是长期的、永久的,常用于描述因特定项目、季节性需求或短期替代而雇佣的人员。例如:The company hired several temporary workers to handle the increased workload during the holiday season.(公司在假日季雇佣了几名临时工人来处理增加的工作量。)
casual worker 侧重于工作的随意性、非正式性,工作安排可能更加灵活,没有固定的长期合同。例如:Many casual workers are employed in the tourism industry during peak seasons.(在旅游旺季,许多临时工被雇佣到旅游业。)
