Memory Tip
拆开记：business（商务）＋person（人）＝做生意的人。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：商务场合、新闻报道、正式文件 businessperson 比较正式，带有性别中立色彩，泛指从事商业或商务工作的人。通常用于书面语或正式场合，在日常对话中使用也不算错，但不一定是最自然的说法。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以 -person 结尾的词（person、salesperson、spokesperson、chairperson）末尾读音都是 /pɜːsən/，与 businessperson 的 -person 部分读音一致；但这些词的重音在第一个音节，所以与单独读作 /ˈpɜːsən/ 的 person 不算严格押韵。注意 business 和 businessman 以 business- 开头，词尾分别是 /nəs/ 和 /mən/，不要读成 -person。
