坐那張椅子的人:主持者
開會時主持的人通常坐在最前面那張「主位」上;英文乾脆就拿「那張椅子」代替「坐在上面的那個人和他的職權」——所以誰掌控這張椅,誰就是 chair。
chairperson · noun · A1
The person who is in charge of a meeting or group, or the job of being in charge of it.
主席
You can picture chair as the one seat made for a single person to sit in: a back, a seat, four legs. Hold that single seat in mind — because almost everything else this word does is really about who sits in a particular chair, or what one special chair is for.
