Personal 是什么意思？“个人的”与 personnel 别混淆

Personal 表示私人的或属于某个人的：personal belongings 是个人物品，personal data 是个人信息。它不表示某个地方的员工；员工通常叫 staff，正式文本中也用 personnel，注意双写 n，重音在最后一个音节。

personal：这次词义能选对吗？

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

personal + information/details/belongings/life; for personal reasons; get personal; the hotel/office + staff (not personal)

Never give your personal details to someone who calls you from an unknown number.
She left the company for personal reasons and didn't want to talk about them.
Please take all your personal belongings with you when you leave the train.

修改前The hotel personal were very friendly and helpful.

修改后The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

酒店的工作人员叫 the hotel staff。Personal 是表示“私人的、个人的”的形容词，用在这里就像说“酒店的私人的很友好”，不能指代员工。英式英语中，staff 常与复数动词搭配：the staff were。

Personal 也可以表示针对个人、带有冒犯意味的。A personal remark 是针对一个人外貌或性格的评论，通常不太友善。Get personal 就是从讨论观点变成攻击个人：Let's talk about the plan and not get personal。

staff — 请病假的是餐厅员工，应称为 staff。Personal 表示“个人的、私人的”，不能在这里指员工，因此 half of the personal 不成立。
