A servant is a person who performs duties for others, especially domestic tasks in a household. Historically, servants were common in wealthy households, though the term is less used today. The phrase 'civil servant' refers to government employees, and 'public servant' describes anyone working for the public good.

「servant」是为他人执行职责的人，特别是在家庭中从事家务劳动的人。历史上，富裕家庭普遍雇用仆人，尽管这个术语今天不太常用。短语'civil servant'指政府雇员，'public servant'描述任何为公共利益工作的人。

Un «servant» es una persona que realiza deberes para otros, especialmente tareas domésticas en un hogar. Históricamente, los sirvientes eran comunes en hogares adinerados, aunque el término se usa menos hoy. La frase «civil servant» se refiere a empleados del gobierno, y «public servant» describe a cualquiera que trabaje por el bien público.

「servant」は、他者のために、特に家庭での家事を行う人です。歴史的に、使用人は裕福な家庭では一般的でしたが、今日ではこの用語はあまり使用されません。「civil servant」というフレーズは政府職員を指し、「public servant」は公共の利益のために働く人を表します。

servant는 다른 사람을 위해 일하는 사람으로, 특히 가정에서 가사 업무를 수행하는 사람을 말합니다. 역사적으로 부유한 가정에서 하인은 흔했지만, 오늘날에는 이 용어가 덜 사용됩니다. 'civil servant'는 공무원을 가리키며, 'public servant'는 공익을 위해 일하는 모든 사람을 묘사합니다.
