Studio Classroom- July 10- Emma Roberts

【Chat Room】

• 本日討論重點：actress & actor
• the suffix-ess: means female
• 但由於女性主意抬頭，許多-ess慣用語都已改用"gender-neutral"terms 性別中立的辭語
• gender-neutral terms for those words:
  waitress → server
  stewardess 空中小姐 → flight attendant 空服員
  policeman & policewoman → police officer
• 而本文為何actress及actor並用？
  是因為actress仍專屬於女演員使用在特殊場合，例如奧斯卡獎
  而本文"one of the first adolescent actors"中的actor為男女適用的，指廣意的所有青少年演員
