diplomat
含义: A person appointed by a government to conduct official negotiations and maintain political relations with another country; also a person skilled in dealing with others tactfully.
Diplomat has both a literal and a figurative sense. Literally, it denotes a member of the diplomatic service — ambassadors, attachés, and consular officials. Figuratively, it describes anyone who handles sensitive situations with tact and discretion. The figurative usage is very common in everyday British English. It collocates with 'career diplomat', 'seasoned diplomat', and 'born diplomat'.
