- 1助理；幕僚（多指政治人物身邊的助手）
An aide is a person whose job is to help someone with an important job — most often a politician, a president, a minister, or a senior official. You meet it constantly in the news: a presidential aide, an aide to the mayor, a congressional aide. It is a little more formal than assistant, and it often hints that the person stands close to power, not only that they fetch coffee. Though actually, American news stretches the word quite wide: a “senior aide” may be a real adviser, while a junior aide may still be quite new and quite junior. The word came into English from French aide, “”, the same root as aid. Keep the two apart: aid is the help itself (or money and food sent to people in trouble); an aide is the person.
