1. 1

    A chambermaid is a woman whose job is to clean and tidy bedrooms, especially in a hotel: making the beds, changing towels, emptying bins. Chamber here means a private room, usually a bedroom. The word feels a little old now. Many hotels say or room attendant, and the work is not only for women. You still hear chambermaid in British English, in older books, and on some hotel signs. It is an ordinary job word, not rude, but it does lock the worker into being female in a way modern titles try not to.

    客房女服務員。台灣旅館現在多說「房務員」或「客房清潔」,不一定是女性。
